Quit. Im sure you'll earn much more in the private sector anyway, right?

Are you able to get a job doing the same thing that will pay you the same amount and and not cap you? Are you able to get a job, doing something else, where you can earn what you earn now? You can either go to another job or stay where you are and consider the "work for free" part as part of the job.

That’s actually funny as shite!

It sounds like you are making an exorbitant amount of money….however, DC has a heck of a lot higher cost of living than we have in Mississippi

If you aren't satisfied, go find another job.
My fricking tax money which is confiscated from me pays your fricking salary.
How about we take some of your money to pay my fricking salary?

Whiny bitch.

We have law enforcement making close to $200,000 annually and STILL have to call in the national guard to do their job.

Glad I don’t live there.

Nice flex. How old are you? I'm guessing near retirement age, given your GS level + step level.

You could also be grateful that you've reached the maximum pay. I'm not sure what your purview is, but all feds are getting the 24th, 25th, and 26th paid holiday leave.

The federal taxes I pay to the government each year basically equates to working for the first 4 months of the year for free. They are generous enough to let me keep the earned income from the following 8 months of work.

You got off light with only $484.42 worth of sweat being stolen.

You want to see sick? Go look at how much admin leave DHS secretary gave during Biden's admin.

They called him Saint Mayorkas!
