Government work isn't going to make you rich, but you'll be in the middle class with a stable job with good benefits and vacation time. If someone on your team annoys you, don't worry they'll get promoted soon enough. Don't tell anyone your salary or benefits - no matter what they are, people will get mad at you for earning a salary from tax dollars.

Yes, but people are incredible lazy, fickle and distractible. Most people won't look it up. Most people will complain about how much you are getting paid though.

Which means the original advice not to tell people your salary hds true.

Don’t disagree with that; however they don’t get paid a lot and still do decent amount of work. Don’t think we can say they are just using up tax dollars. Most of those jobs are reqd to keep things running and they do it for less.

Now the contractors working for the state - that’s a totally different story.

Again, the original statement is that regular people will complain. Keep in mind, a good chunk of regular people vote for the GOP, so you know many of them are morons. And probably assholes. And likely racists.
