It’s not like the government is exactly paying fair wages themselves either. Ask any teacher, nurse, researcher or anyone else working in the public sector.
As a scientist, I’d get a major wage increase if I’d switch to the private sector.
I hear you and I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. I haven’t even gotten a 2% raise in years. Funny how the government has no issue giving themselves (i.e. the politicians) raises whenever they want.
I feel like you have a legitimate basis for complaint. I’m a fucking school bus driver and the only reason I make less than you is that I only get 20 hours a week. The more senior drivers who work 40+ hours a week make close to $60K (with health insurance and a pension).
Maybe Physicists should join the Teamsters with us lol.
