I've also seen studies that said that government employees were underpaid in comparisons with their industry counterparts.  But the truth is, in a lot of things, Government employees have have a unique mission.  

I don't doubt that in other agencies things are different.  Those agencies don't have the "can do" attitude that is required in DoD.  

But looking at it in retrospect, I'm not sure it is a great place to work.  The system is set up to limit innovation.  The very senior people don't like to change lest it backfire on them.  Now their bonus system is outrageous for government. 

BTW, speaking of the limitations of government, the VA in Dever is running an average of 42 days to get an appointment.  They claim they can't hire enough Drs. and nurses.
