Not all Government Jobs are bullshite

This isn’t a bitch session, just a personal observation. Many actually bust their asses. As a retired FAA air traffic controller for 37 years we actually did work and could see it take place intinatainously, no in baskets. Working shift work keeping the facilities open 24/7 meant working weekends, nights, holidays, etc. which also meant missing a lot important family time. Some facilities have controllers working 10 hour days, 6 days a week. The OT pay is nice but it doesn’t compensate for the long term effects on your body. The staffing issue has been going on since the 70’s, it didn’t just start.



For me, the job was a lot of fun, with times when you would “pucker-up and hang on” when things went to shite. The pay was good, and the retirement pay is good too.

You could probably say the same thing about other Govt jobs, especially law enforcement, military etc, ICE, Border Patrol, FBI ( the ones that aren’t woke) and others.

The problem I saw was in the Mgmt when the bureaucracy kicked in. That’s why DOGE is good.
