Half Of Federal Employees Call Pay Raise An Insult
When it comes to that half-percent pay raise idea, most federal employees are lukewarm. More than 600 people answered a Federal News Radio online poll about the administration's proposal for 2013. Half the respondents called it an insult. One wrote that half a percent won't even cover the increase in health insurance premiums. His advice was, keep your paltry pennies, Mr. President. Most of the other respondents said half a percent is better than nothing. One wrote, it's not much, but I'll take it.

You need to keep your pie holes closed. You should be getting a pay cut, not a pay raise.
If it is insulting, hit the bricks. I wouldn't want you to have to endure such hardship.
And I bet you're union also. Awww. My heart bleeds for you.
If you don't want it, you could take a pay cut like I did. I was making 55000 plus bennies until I lost my construction job in 2008. Now I'm in business for myself and my 3 employees made more than I did this year. $16k/ yr or so... Adjust to that, government workers!
At least they are getting one.
those who object can forgo theirs.
7:29 nailed it!
The other day SBY NEWS posted that remarkable story about business closings.I'll admit I was clueless as to the actual#s.Some of the companies listed actually asked their employees if they would consider taking a pay cut before they closed for good.They would not.If the fed government ever takes a vote on a pay reduction, their employees most likely won't accept it either.
