[quote=pri_dk] . . . To use the argument that you and BG repeat ad nauseam: “If it’s so good, why don’t you do it?”
You don’t even have to wait for an opening, and don’t have to vest before you start receiving your full, generous, “government subsidized” compensation. Go for it![/quote]
And this, in a nutshell, is the reason why Joe6P-Pigg and Joe6p-nonPigg alike do NOT routinely apply for these positions! The “time lapse” between getting hired, serving one or more “probationary periods” and ultimately getting “vested” at the five or ten-year mark could prove to be “problematic,” at the very least.
It all looks easy and “cushy” at the outset … that is, until one actually “goes thru the motions” required to actually “vest” in one of these “complicated” retirement plans.
Herein lies the problem. :=D
Thank you for clarifying this issue for the forum, pri_dk. You have bolstered what I’m trying to say here … immeasurably. Keep your thinking cap on and keep going ……. ;=]
