You know someone who SAID vs. I. HAVE. DONE. IT THOUSANDS OF TIMES.

I have reviewed countless proposals. You don't think I know what a Program Manager makes? GTFO here with your nonsense. You can bullshit people who don't know better. I walked the walk for 25 years as a government toxicologist then a project manager and finally program manager.

You are just angry because you didn't get a federal job so you want to punish everyone else.

It is well documented that white collar feds are underpaid vs. their private counterparts.
