yes, the postal service and other fed gov't jobs have way too many benefits, perks and pensions on top of the fact that most are lazy as hell, rude and indifferent to doing their job efficiently or effectively.
it just doesnt make sense in this day and age to go to the priv sector where you have to work your ass off then pay for your own benefits.
shit, in balt city firefighters and police have a guaranteed return on their pension benefits to an interest rate that was relative to the stock market in the 90s when it was booming. if it drops below the int rate, which it has by alot compared to the 90s the city and tax payer money have to make up the difference. these a holes are now protesting and saying the mayor has turned her back on them.
no aholes, you arent going to get the benefit of getting 100k plus a year during retirement for 20 years of crappy service.
i have a client who just left, she is getting a total of 6k in benefits a month. 6 frakin k, she hasnt worked in a long time, is on disability (yet she can walk and talk fine) and drives a freakin lexus, gets her hair done (that aint cheap) and has acrylic nails. WTF WTF WTF!
hearing about state and fed employees pensions, benefits etc when i have to work closely with these lazy uneducated POS just grinds my gears.
