DOE pay raise freeze
Content1:
Let get this straight. DOE sites have a pay freeze. Gas up over $4 per gallon. Deficit at 14 trillion. Inflation ready to spiral up. What do they expect up to do, sit there as our wages get less and less. Will my rent freeze along with it? Do you have to shift to higher paying jobs? We are not like the unions in Wisconsin, with someone else paying our medical and retirement. Why do they punish the part of the government that is doing something good?

You in a boat that is sinking, and although you have thrown the previous first mate overboard (Pelosi), and you part of the crew (Conservatives) are bailing like crazy and decreasing the rate of flooding(the deficit), the Captain is still at the helm aiming for icebergs. What difference does it make if the economy rises if your economy doesn't (pay freeze). Yes, things are getting better, no, Captain Nemo is still at the helm. You can have 2 events at the same time and both statement are true and not be in conflict. Can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

Because DOE received a couple of BILLION dollars of ARRA funding to accelerate environmental cleanup work at their CERCLA sites. They didn't seek the funding, but gladly accepted the handout. And we did not hire "freeloaders". We hired folks that needed jobs, but we simply did not have the infrastructure in place to effectively use them.
DOE marches to the beat of their own drum and has for several years now.
