I am a government worker (GS-9) and I wear a uniform. I am one of three network admins that support three sites on opposte ends of the state. I we not see this raise (wrong GS series).
The web admin in the desk next to me will, yeah she is the one that refuses to learn HTML and still can't master frontpage. She calls me over all the time to fix the sloopy M$-HTML frontpage pukes.
Our "Information Security" person will. What does he do you ask, sit in a locked room and sleep all day. He's waiting for retirement and doesn't know a firewall from his..., well anyhow.
Our helpdesk people will, they are both former secretaries and still think they work someplace else. One barely speaks English (german), the other won't answer the phone and is never where he is supposed to be.
Now all four of these people make much more than I do, and I spend all of my time doing their work for them. If this were anything other than the government they would all be fired, instead they get raises... nice.
I'm outta here...
