My wife works for Navair and her group of 8 people are allowed to work 2 hours of overtime every day and they can work on Saturday if they want to and most of them do. So most of them pull in $80-$90K.
My wife told me she can finish her work in two hours and spend the remaining 8 hours chatting. If she tries to do more, her colleagues (mostly veterans) will scold her with comments like “what are you trying to prove?”, “don’t work us out of a job.”, and when she asks them why they do alot of overtime doing nothing they usually reply “they [the gov’t] owe me”.
Most of them served in the 80s and actually have never fired a shot in a war.
