Seriously?
About three months ago.
I rarely ever saw people get fired in the private sector either, aside from for the obvious problem of no-call-no-shows (usually a few in a row). Of course, that would happen to a civil servant as well... But really, I've never seen no-call-no-shows with civil servants!

I've also seen dirty tricks to cut people from insurance benefits in civil service, just like in the private sector.

Well... in this case you seem to have jumped to people whose jobs have disappeared, not people who deserve firing for violation. They don't get new jobs created out of nowhere. They get first dibs at an open job. Government jobs hire first from the inside. It's a perk they get to compensate for lower pay.
And most private sector jobs will move a person who is laid off to another open position before firing them. I was offered a transfer at the last private sector job I had... and I took the severence pay instead (I was on my way to a new job anyway).
And pension.... Yeah, right. Most of us are on 401k's these days, just like you.
The older ones get the pensions they were promised... but are pressured into buy-outs, just as with your industry.

And keep in mind, that's only federal.
Us in local government... if we move across the country... our benefits and seniority are done. You have a better chance of "keeping your pay and pension" working for a large corporation... which will usually transfer you if a position is available... much like the federal government!


I have not seen that hold true quite frankly.

"Liberals" Believe it's ok to kill an innocent baby, but not a tree!

Ah, that reminds me of the person I saw let go after being accepted because it was retroactively decided that the qualifications were not good enough.

That's part of the reason you see fewer of the obvious offenses that get people fired in private sector jobs at low levels... It's harder to get into a civil service job for the lower positions as well as paying less.
Security is really the only major perk.

It's a bunch of stuff that is a) radical feminists, b) hyperbole.

Radical feminists are not thenorm for feminists. And they are no more harmful than misogynistic reactionaries.
And hyperbole is by definition- exagerrated.

I have no problem with and strongly support equality for women.

By this I mean equal pay for equal work, the right to vote, domestic violence laws, and so on.

However, I strongly feel that women have moved from an oppressed position to one where they feel the need to oppress every member of the gender from which their former tormenters came. Men in America are not encouraged to be masculine. The macho male is often denegrated and the 'average Joe' is pictured as a fat slob with no work ethic, sexual integrity, or mental capacity.

Just look at advertising.

The feminist movement got greedy and it will burn them.

Those people are laughed at by mainstream women who care passionately about equal rights for women (i.e., true feminists). I have yet to see, or hear, any mainstream woman bash men in general - only rants against the obnoxious husband or boyfriend, or the sexist boss.

Trying to pin the rantings of a small group of lunatics on all feminists is like trying to say that all blacks are criminals because a black person commits a crime. I've seen that too.

The feminist movement in this country is doing it's best to undermine the role of men in society... and they have already had several successes. They are a growing cancer in this Country... much like the gay rights movement and the attempts to irradicate God from public institutions.

Who is doing these things? Do you feel pressure to grow female parts?

Why so defensive? Sounds like the whining of a male insecure in his own masculinity.

Nice. So men cannot even comment on this issue without a) being women-haters or b) being insecure whiners.

I'll keep that in mind.
