Ugh. I hate that guy. And I have to spend at least part of the day tomorrow with him. What a tool.
Private sector: 9 years without a raise.

Huh? Why is that?

Blah, blah, blah
The company I work for has cut raises to less than cost of living increases and about 40 people were laid off in VA.
They'd be fine with no pay raises if they could have kept their jobs.

Well, I hate him mostly because he's an anti-gun carpetbagging douche waffle. His staff isn't any better.
I'm representing my VC fund tomorrow evening in Richmond (and again on Friday in Charlottesville) at his administrations request in support of his Virginia Velocity entrepreneurship tour.
At least I get a free breakfast at Montpelier out of it

Same thing my private sector brother inlaw said when I bitched about not getting a raise for 3 years back in 2008. It put things in prospective for me.
I'm happy that I get a 1% raise this year, which Montgomery County quickly took by raising property taxes again.
And no pension, no 20 personal days off, no 10 paid holidays, no 20 years and out and no getting dug in like a tick where you can't be canned

Why stay then?
Dafuq is a pension, personal days off, paid holidays and only 20 years working?
These words, what do they mean? They seem like English but I've never heard of them?
You are offering me the same work at higher pay?

I wonder why there's a Truth in Lending law for folks to get a loan, but there's nothing like that for our government? Things that make you go hmmm...

But, but, but... you all must be lying because Obummer, the rest of the democraps and the lame stream media keep telling us the economy is so much better since the Dufus-in-Chief was elected almost eight years ago. Shame on all of you for complaining!

Private sector- Took massive pay cut to keep the doors open when the housing market collapsed.
Government- We didn't get a raise this year.
Private sector- Health insurance cost up 400% , deductible up 500%. Add another 20% on top of that this year!
Government- You're kidding, right???
Private sector- What is a vacation?
Government- We only have 8 weeks!
Private sector- Sick day? Boss says you had better be in intensive care and we want at least 2 weeks notice!
Government- Sick day? How about 15 days and you can even cash them in or use them toward early retirement.
Private sector- Lunch break? What is that?!
Government- An hour give or take an hour.
Private sector- Restroom break. Go before you leave home in the morning before your 10-12 hour day.
Government- Do you want the newspaper or a magazine to read?
Private sector- Retirement? Ha, ha, ha, ha! You have got to be kidding me!
Government- Sure thing! If we can't afford to pay what we promise you, we'll just raise taxes on the private sector.
If being a government employee is so bad, why is it that no government employees are clamoring to get into the private sector?

yep if you can do better elsewhere, go elsewhere. the "compensation" received for working is $$$ plus a lot of other things, and everyone has to add all that up and make a decision. close to home, nice commute. good boss and co-workers. benefits, vacation, other time off and flexibility. workload/hours. bonus if any. job security. etc.
