Duchess Jack Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 49 / 260 = 18.84% of all work days are taken as your days off or a four day (32 hours) work week every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I work for Dept of Treasury and have as I said for over 20 years. You don't get all of those days off from jump street, it happens over time. Well then that makes it OK Seriously not a shot at you personally T-bone, but this is the kind of thing that has to stop if we are going to be able to have any kind of sustainable recovery. Either you are paid a bloated government salary to work full time, or you should have a part time salary and benefits to go along with those part time hours. When our government is in debt like it is now and the average government employee makes 50% more than the average private sector employee whom they are supposed to serve, something is f'd up. We need to start trimming the fat. Our state and local governments (with the possible exception of The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia) have all realized this, it is about time that our federal government realize it as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the government should renege on it's agreements with it's current employees as that would be just as wrong as what they did to the auto companies bond holders, but I do think that it needs to stop offering crazy compensation / time off programs to all new employees. Again T-bone this isn't directed at you in particularly, but at how screwed up our government is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
