    Federal government has mich better working conditions:

    • no fear of random layoffs
    • more vacation
    • pensions!!!
    • different work schedules, than a standard 9-5 (or 8-6)

      lol, what world are you living in? Yes, it’s better than retail, but for high skill jobs (which the government desperately needs) these things are not true.

      • Random layoffs—sure, as long as you’re the right kind of employee
      • Vacation is accumulated at an embarrassingly slow rate, especially for newer employees.
      • pension. Right, but there are similarly no stock options or significant performance bonuses you find in the private sector
      • you’d be surprised at the work schedules for government employees who aren’t admin assistants

      Pay is so far behind still it isn’t funny.
