Re: Time to unfreeze Federal pay

At my old company, we hired some guy who came from the gov't. Eventually it came to pass that he had ONE project to work on, while I was asked to do his shit in addition to mine because I could meet deadlines. On days that he was out, I did his shit in one hour - stuff that he'd work on ALL DAMN DAY. Eventually, it pissed me off so much that I went to the owner and said basically - I'm doing this fuckhead's work for him, all of my stuff and he's getting paid more than me. Here's the proof. Is that fair?
He must have thought so because he gave me nothing. I quit 2 months later. The government guy left about a month after that and went back to the government sector. I actually heard stories from someone who knew him in his new job that he would go to the shitter every day and take a nap. What the fuck?
EDIT: I still can remember how I felt when I resigned. It felt great. My boss pleaded with me to stay, saying that I was really valuable and asking what he could do. I told him "in the future, you should probably take employee concerns seriously, especially if you feel that they are valuable to your company. I came to you 2 months ago and laid out my situation. I brought invoices, a list of projects, everything that showed you that I was doing the work of two people and making less than him and you completely dismissed me. As much as I enjoyed it here, I can't work in a place where I feel that I'm being taken advantage of."
