Simply being a federal or state employee you are granted protections that others don't have. It nearly takes an act of congress to get someone removed from one of those jobs after they have a certain number of years in. Some of the most inept and lazy workers I have ever had to deal with fall into under the umbrella of government employee - protected well beyond what's reasonable. Not all of them make a bunch of money but they have excellent benefits and retirement that isn't something your average Joe has access to. They are also protected no matter how poorly they perform.
I have thought for years that there should be more of a merit system applied to gov't jobs.
My dipshit brother will be able to retire quite young after his time as a state employed prison guard. His salary is public record and he's not pulling in the big bucks but he will have a nice retirement package and has had excellent health care benefits. His wife is the one who pulled in the cash.
