    I’ve kinda checked out of the private sector for this reason. I’ve been having a great time working for a government job. Great benefits, union, etc… pay is about 80 percent of what others make but it’s more than enough to get by.

      Man, I’d be happy with 80% of what I get for less stress and more security. What kind of government job specifically?

        Most of them. Certainly the ones that have unionized. If you know someone in the inside, they probably know if there’s a union.

        You’ll see more unions in government work because while private organizations breaking up unions is ethically questionable; governments breaking up unions is just openly totalitarian.

        If I can’t negotiate with a private employer, I might be a wage slave, but I can ask the government for help.

        If I can’t negotiate with my government job, it’s not actually a job, I’m just a slave.
