It's MY money, with an agency match, and I pay FICA as well. THe BS being fed to the public by the MSM is the way it USED to be under CSRS. FERS is a whole different breed of cat. In addition, my pension, such as it is, is subject to Congressional whims. If a corporation raids their pension fund, they're subject to federal action. If My employer raids the pension funds (to the tune of $149 BILLION dollars, look it up) it's just another day in DC.
Again, WHAT forever pension? Where do I sign up?
Thanks for the knowledge.
What you get is fair it seems. I hope you did not take it on the chin too bad of late.... Its much different than the local teacher's union.

Please stop it with the "evil" BS. I know you are not evil. I know the average working joe in a union is not evil. You sound like somebody else who posts here....

Maybe you need to find another job? It sounds like you have a high frustration level. You said you have system engineer skills. Give me your resume. At my company, you get to be a peer with everyone, even the owners.
Can you speak AS400? I have an opportunity for just such a person.
I am NOT patronizing you. I'm serious. This still is America. If your job is killing you....
