On a news video this morning, I was treated to the sight of many morbidly obese state workers waddling around the streets demanding MO MONEY!!
State workers take demands for pay raises and remote work to Texas lawmakers
Oh, and remote work. Because they are lazy twats like that.
“I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck with no savings,” said Aja Dunn, a state employee.
Dunn stood front and center on the South Steps of the Capitol, holding the “P” in the tall pay raise signs. She has only worked in a state lab for two years but has already considered better-paying alternatives.
Would that be the Aja Dunn who was a bartender from 2021 to 2023? The one who went to Vassar College, which costs almost $90,000 per year to attend? Who paid for that?
Why didn’t you get a job with Hudson Valley Research, the company you interned for while attending your expensive college? Did you suck so bad in your field that you couldn’t get a job in the private sector? I bet you did.
She has “already considered” better-paying alternatives? Ok then why the fuck are you still standing around chanting with signs, moron? Oh right, because the BENEFITS of government work are pretty fucking sweet. They never mention that part – as we saw every year when Finley went begging to City council.
Her health insurance ALONE is probably worth over $10,000 – more if she has any kids. The state also matches up to 9.5% of her salary into a pension fund, which is ANOTHER $4,400 or so.
[Oh, and when recession hits and private sector workers are being fired, you will still have a job. Because government union parasites are pretty much impossible to fire.]
So she doesn’t really make $46,000, she makes more like $61,000. With tons of days off. This for a clown who is only a few years out of college and was a bartender before this. It’s called “working your way up,” sweetie. Your generation should try it some time.
Also, maybe ask mom and dad (who likely paid for your useless $360,000 Vassar degree) for a few bucks to help out. Or maybe go back to bartending on the weekends – I worked TWO other jobs in addition to my real job back in 1992 and 1993 when I was first starting out. I also had 3 roommates to save money on rent.
Entitled twat.
There shouldn’t even BE unionized government workers in the first place. Even that huge commie FDR agreed with me on that one:
“It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government.” – FDR
The Texas legislature needs to outlaw unions in the government sector then fire 70% of these assholes and give the competent ones a raise. You should get hired and paid on merit. Of course, a competent state government worker is about as rare as an un-raped goat anus at RX Ranch, so they will holler and wail if that idea is ever implemented.
