That doesn't just happen at government jobs. Sometimes they make a lot more money because it takes them so much longer, they're on OT.

Free Drinks (Alcoholic and Non), they also treat us like slave labor though...

Pantless Tuesdays.

Well, on Tuesday it's official.

Unofficially I don't wear pants the rest of the week anyways. Self employed - I make whatever benefits I care to.

They've stopped referring to us by our employee number, and now we get called by our surnames. It's a start.

True, but in private sector jobs, usually higher productivity means a bonus or better opportunity for advancement. Not so in government.

Six-figure income, get to sleep with the admin assistant, take terrific vacations whenever I want, as much golfing as I like and fire any client I don't like. Beat that.
