I've worked with these people in the past and the state has hired thousands more since I last worked there.
And our standard increase is 3% if and only if our company makes a profit and there's enough left over after paying stockholders.
the state needs to be more efficient

you cant accumulate vacation days..you can accru sick days but the max take home from that is $10k which is about 30 days worth for many workers...the rest they loose.
Depends on the times I guess...when I was working at home depot I was getting an average of 10% increases a year + whatever I was making on their stocks(cashed out making 500%)...yes times were good back then, but the 6% contract we have right now was signed some 4 years ago...if times were tough they shouldve negociated harder.
yes they need to be run more efficiently, I agree 100%, every day I feel like im in the movie office space.
