I just gotta see a link on that oneA Federal Civil Service woman who gives birth with 15 years service gets 26 days a year Annual leave, 13 days sick leave, 60 days off for the birth of a child and 10 Holidays. That is 109 days off with pay, or almost 22 weeks out the year. I need a job where I get every weekend off and only have to work 30 weeks a year for a years pay. Since I am a man, I could get the 12 weeks off to take care of a sick relative since I can't have a baby.
So much fail in this post so let's start at the beginning.
"A Federal Civil Service woman who gives birth with 15 years service gets 26 days a year Annual leave, 13 days sick leave, 60 days off for the birth of a child and 10 Holidays."
As another poster stated, you don't get both sick leave and maternity leave. The 13 days roll into the maternity leave.
And let's rationally think about this. If a women has been with the Federal Government for 15 years, they have likely passed the prime years for child birth. Many jobs with the federal government require or prefer bachelor degrees. So let's assume a woman graduates at the age of 22 and immediately starts working for the federal government (which is extremely rare). She would be 37 after 15 years of service. How many 37 year old women are starting to have kids? Not many.
"I need a job where I get every weekend off and only have to work 30 weeks a year for a years pay. "
Then collectively bargain for it. This is the most annoying thing about people. Instead of people saying "Wow, those are great benefits, we should all have those benefits" they say "I don't have those great benefits, they shouldn't either!" It's class warfare but it's a Civil War within the dying middle class that is perpetuating the "Race to the Bottom" that the rich want.
"Since I am a man, I could get the 12 weeks off to take care of a sick relative since I can't have a baby."
Most places (including the federal government) have paternity leave.
No place I know of give 12 weeks of paternity leave. 6 weeks, tops, and usually at reduced pay. If a 37 year old woman doesn't give birth, she still can get 12 paid weeks to take care of a sick relative, so that blows that argument.
I am salaried and don't belong to a Union, and wouldn't if I could. I have to work a certain number of days and pay taxes so Civil Service employees can get 20 weeks a year off with full pay. What really amuses me is the term used when there is a government shutdown or a snow alert. Non-Essential government employees get to stay at home with pay. If they are non-essential, why are they even employed.
I consider civil service employees overpaid part time employees with full time pay and benefits.
In case you are interested, I was one for three years and walked away from it in disgust.
More lies....no Civil Servant gets 20 weeks off a year with full pay
You are just making shit up now
At 30 years I received 7 weeks vacation + 60 hours of management time + one conference a year. AFTER 30 years.
