No Pay Raises For Federal Employees In 2019

[SillieBazzillie]

1.9% is just too much of a burden to the budget...but the rich and corporations sure as phuk got their bigly tax cuts and did...nothing with them except enrich themselves even more. As many predicted on this bored btw.

What a SAD state of affairs.

And in "the greatest economy ever known to man" there is no money for miniscule pay raises?

Hey, I guess ol' Donnie's getting really serious about keeping his annual deficits as close to $1T as possible.

Clown show.

[exxtracool]

isnt this related to the govt shutdown? why would they be getting a salary increase when they are technically not even working atm lol?

im sure once this shutdown is over they will at least be getting a raise in accordance with the rate of inflation.


another question: would this even be trumps decision to make? dont you guys have a secretary of w.e that would deal with this?

100% not related to the shutdown. 100% Trump issued an EO to do it.

1000% SAD

the article says the law, which trump made use of here, allows congress to re-adjust.. but that would would be possible if the govt wasnt shutdown...

seems like trump is playing 4d chess here bro.

[Dave22reborn]

Don't you work for a corporation?

So Trump denies a pittance to federal workers in the greatest economy known to mankind, Congress would need to step in and correct it, but somehow Trump's playing 4d chess?

I guess I'm just not brite enough to see how that makes any sense.

Ya, and when we're having a great year, the best year in the history of our company, we give the workers raises. Particularly after we've bragged about how well we've done all year.

And if you're asking why I care it's because federal workers have to pay for the inflation exasperated by Trump's trade war and now he's putting them further behind the eight ball.

I have empathy bro.

[Stizzel]

They should get pay cuts tbh

you might be right, idk.

looks like hes making a pressing move to get his demands and reopen the govt though.

You should get a pay cut.

[Jaydawg08]

As a future government employee (air traffic control), kind of sucks to see. I can't finish the hiring process cause of the shutdown, after receiving my offer letter, which is irritating.

So you think this is good and fair? Particularly when private companies passed on all that tax cut money to workers...oh that's right they didn't. They passed it on to their rich shareholders and executives. My bad.

[Dan_S]

Were you here crying about it when Obama gave us 0% raises too?

[chaunce54]

You should get a pay cut.

We do every time they raise the minimum wage.

[Stizzel]

Nah, my employer doesnt threaten people with jail

[Reliance012]

Good. They’re already overpaid.

Lets be honest here.
You don't give a flying fuc about government employee's or their pay.
You only care about reeeeeeing about trump.
Period.

If I thought for even a second you actually cared you'd get a serious response.
but you don't.
so

So you're ranting about corporations, but supposedly work for one....and close to being a CEO of one...

[AriGhold]

I thought these bigly tax cuts were going to stimulate so much extra tax revenue that all Americans would benefit???

Sillie and his corporation are, try and pay attention.

[anonymous]

Oh well, their pensions and benefits still get paid by the tax payers and they're still unaccountable, so I'm sure they'll survive.

[OPGenesis]

This. I don’t understand this cuck *******s logic at all.

[rhadam]

Most "federal" employees (in the current context) are overpaid. The employees that really matter, like the military (incredibly underpaid), got a pay raise plus an allotment raise. It's not nearly enough but it's a start.

You were complaining about the budget deficit not too long ago, is this something you’re willing to increase the deficit for? Please clarify your pseudo-socialist viewpoints.

Sillie at it again...sillie go google civilian vs federal pay and compensation...I won't I have enough intellect to know the results..as others have said, you are a sad, sad human that thinks about Trump all day..I'm going to bet, you are not in a relationship, not poor, but not rich, middle age and life full of nothing...hence you like to post about Trump...daily...let that sink in..you world sucks so bad, you look to bash...and then a guy like me comes in to clean you up..bc your a mess, a meltdown of Icelandic proportions..Trump beat you...lol..lol

[bobbydigitaloa]

Ok, so? We had our best year in history at my company and no raises.

So I’ll work harder and smarter and make more sales.
