As are their “exorbitant” pensions. Been hearing this drumbeat for a couple of months. Rile up the unemployed/underemployed by pointing at people with jobs. Not that it’s class warfare, Rs would never do that.
OK – “in the sights” is inappropriate given… …My brain froze and the only other thing that came to me was “target” – no better.
Better. Had to sleep on it.

Feds actually make up to double what their peers make in the private sector, when benefits are included.
This is for Federal workers.
If U R a state worker, I haven’t seen data on such comparisons.

As a manager, I’m not sure how you make that work. In a small organization, you can appeal to a sense of family and/or community, and show your staffers that everyone is sharing in the sacrifice. In larger organizations, pay cuts mean a more pissed-off, unmotivated staff. “Take the pay cut or quit” usually means staff will stay, but they’re going to work less. I would guess that a 4% cut in pay generates a 10% drop in productivity. Good move.
The unmentioned failure to all the stupid talk of forced pay cuts AND not being in the office means whatever projects and work that was being performed will be delayed that long, plus restart time.
But, the proposed bill does do what the Republicans want to do – damage and destroy government. So for them it is a fine proposal.
I have seen large companies do this well. People aren’t thrilled but they understand and see it as an alternative to layoffs.
but it is tricky. For a Tom Peters-Excellence organization, with a healthy sense of community and good communication, it can work. But for most organizations, it’s preferable to layoff. Cut 4% of your workforce, the work gets picked up by others who are now a little more overworked and a little more willing to put in the extra effort. Take money away from everyone, and everyone is demoralized.
