    Looks like the democrats screwed the pooch again.

    When lawmakers failed to pass bills on Dec. 21 to fund multiple federal agencies, they allowed an existing pay freeze to lapse. The pay freeze for top federal executives was enacted by Congress in 2013 and renewed each year since then. The raises will occur because that cap will expire on Saturday without legislative action, allowing raises to kick in that have accumulated over those years but never took effect. The raises start with paychecks to be issued next week.

    The Dems caused this. Besides those Fed employees always got about 20 more paid holidays the rest of us never get.

    No they don’t according to federaljobs “All full time employees receive 10 paid holidays, 13 days of vacation for the first three years service, 20 days of vacation with three to 15 years of service, and 26 days after 15 years.”

    Unless you are saying everyone else gets -10 paid holidays?

    First of all, no one I knows gets 10 paid holidays a year, no one. And 36 paid days off after 15 years is extremely generous. I don't get a set number of days off except for holidays, I can take unlimited vacation time, but taking too much time off not only makes it a back breaker to return, it tells my company I'm not needed. Last year I took about 8 vacation days, maybe just 6 or 7.

    Federal employees are not working without pay.

    They've got an IOU to get paid for not working, in fact.

    You should really read this, Pence is not even taking the raise and this has nothing to do with the administration "giving" raises. Unless the 2013 Congress was Trump's administration now.

    I console myself with knowing that many of them are veterans who used to get shot at for a living.
