    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.
