Is anyone else still working for state government? I suppose all the smart people have left and the others have been laid off by now. I personally work in higher education and I'm getting sick and tired of never getting a raise, worrying about being laid off and seeing all the best programs people have worked on for years getting cut back to nothing. Also tired of stupid Republicans who would rather cut back education than raise taxes on casinos and close tax loopholes. What a joke. How can any state come out of a recession by cutting education? Anyways had to vent hoping to hear from some other annoyed state government workers..
