Heres the problem...

And again, not getting a raise that matches inflation is the exact same as a pay cut of the same rate as inflation.
And, if these OG forms were able to get by after all the layoffs, I’d have to wonder how many of those rolls were excessive? I sure as #### believe the public sector can trim a fair amount of fat, but that is in every single organization I know of. The difference is big boses in private firms get to still buy their flash cars while blaming layoffs on the economy. A well off private manager is considered successful, a well off public manager is considered a fat cat due for a boot...I just can’t quite understand the logic.

Aside from being entirely anecdotal, which is a problem.
The primary issue is that one sector of the economy is influenced by economic fluctuations while the other one isnt.
Do you see the problem? One sector literally pays for the other and when things arent going well the gravy train stops rolling in for the side thats doing all of the paying while the other side move along as though nothing is wrong.
Both sides of the Ledger. Both sides have to be affected and adapt.
