Can’t even get a decent standard of living by selling your soul to Satan now huh
Too much avocado toast.
The defenders of capitalism complaining about capitalism? It’s not like the public has been quiet on this issue for the past 20 years. Get creative. Stop eating advocato toast. Starting wages hover at $35/hr. Somehow I don’t hear any sympathy.
Have they ran out of people to qualified immunity? I get that murder is the main draw there but theft by law enforcement is only beaten out by wage theft from corporations. Unless things have gotten so threadbare that they can’t make ends meet with all the state sanctioned profiteering.
Maybe they should consider a different line of work. Learn to code. Go to a trade school. Become a plumber.
Majority of fbi agents spend the majority of their time doing background checks for other agencies. It’s pretty boring desk work most of the time.
Buddy I can guarantee you that they’re just doing their job collecting a check to make ends meet and live a life just like you or I. I’m sure those motivated to get into the FBI probably had something happen to them or inspire them and they think it’s a noble cause.
Not everyone is part of a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
FBI about to start permanently infiltrating homeless encampments.
You know they’d still do the bidding of their masters and get them evicted too.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A survey last year found more than two-thirds of agents who live in these places said it’s difficult to manage on their current salaries.
The Agents Association is pressing for a housing allowance to support those workers who pay steep rent or mortgages because they live in New York, Newark, Honolulu, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
FBI officials have been looking into the problem since 2021, comparing government compensation scales against the poverty line and analyzing how other federal agencies and private sector employers pay their workers.
“There are multiple stressors that folks experience,” said Caroline Otto, assistant director of the FBI’s Resource Planning office.
At the Justice Department, Assistant Attorney General for Administration Jolene Lauria said officials are aware of financial challenges that federal workers face in the field — not just FBI employees, but across other parts of the DOJ as well.
Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican party in the 2024 election, has targeted the FBI workforce with steady criticism for years.
