[quote=CA renter][quote=pjwal]This makes me sick to my stomach. Some joke IT dinosaur, that probably worked most his life fixing printer problems, whom made it “all the way up” to Director if IT (where most of his job still consisted of fixing printer problems) is now sitting pretty on a 139k/year pension. It’s not he was actually really challenged with a budget or had to worry about profitably at all during his career. Not like he actually had to innovate or keep his skill set up with changing technology. Not like he actually worked weekends or ever averaged more than 38 hours per week.[/quote]

Some pretty bold assumptions there.

I’ve worked in both private and public sectors, and can say for a fact that the standards for public workers are higher than for those in the private sector. Also, there is additional liability in the public sector that is not there in the private sector, which is why they have to hire better qualified candidates in the first place.[/quote]

Do you have an example of a job in the public sector where the requirments are higher than for a similar job in private industry?

Are the requirments neccessary or just designed to weed out anyone that doesn’t have prior government experience or of a certain race or sex?

People don’t realize it but these deals they think they are getting now will be deep under water when interest rates get back to 7-10%.

These low rates are just creating a bubble, just at lower prices than before.
