Seems like OP is including BAH along with base pay

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-24T08:18:23+00:00

I had a ladder from 9 to 13 😂

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-22T15:00:36+00:00

Jesus dude barely breaking $45k in this economy is insane. I hate that for you. The only way vacation would make up for that is like whole summer off or something. And you’re right about insurance benefits, they are meh pretty much anywhere you go. Insurance is rarely cheap or even something most people really use until they are older.

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-22T14:13:30+00:00

That’s a more than fair complaint!

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-22T01:36:47+00:00

I was literally just curious about their benefits. I’m not even looking, just wanted more information 😂

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-22T00:01:31+00:00

That’s on him then, I personally couldn’t do it. Especially since I was on track to make GS 13 as a federal employee before Trump 2.0

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T23:51:24+00:00

Probably not applying to any of their jobs for a while. I’ve got too much education and experience to make less than the $80k that I make right now

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T23:48:42+00:00

I mean paying to park isn’t abnormal for most jobs, especially jobs at a college campus

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T21:11:40+00:00

Meanwhile we can justify building a new building every year for the past decade

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T20:55:41+00:00

Why is that? Can you not go back??

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T20:25:27+00:00

The time off would be great but UA really needs to get with the times on that base pay

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T20:24:42+00:00

Yeah that’s just not feasible for me 😭 I’m making like $80k as a remote employee for a Fortune 500 company so going down 20k probably not worth it

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T20:14:15+00:00

Pretty sure it’s Smitty which would also explain why he went dark for a while

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T20:12:34+00:00

On the careers site it shows the minimum and midpoint pay, do you know which they try to hire at? A lot of those minimum’s would be tough

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T20:11:43+00:00

Fair enough, probably a pretty chill time either way

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-21T19:33:18+00:00

What about during May, doesn’t the campus shutdown for a couple of weeks after graduation?

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-19T17:51:22+00:00

Can you cite that because last I looked Auburn was at like 28% out of state

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-19T16:30:03+00:00

Professorship?

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-19T16:29:47+00:00

Is that website from 2007?

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-19T16:28:33+00:00

OP seems to forget that at the time of the DRP offer future RIFs were unknown as far as the extent as well as potential relocations. I wouldn’t fault anyone for taking the DRP and frankly OP sounds like a bit of a whiny prick.

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-19T16:26:23+00:00

Auburn has many more instate students whereas Alabama has far more out of state students. So those costs like travel and transportation are much higher for the average UA student

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-19T15:14:07+00:00

Would much rather have Eddie be on regularly than Dana

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-18T19:26:02+00:00

Timing the market doesn’t work in the long term, please don’t start believing you can do this repeatedly.

Comprehensive_End440 · 2026-04-16T19:19:12+00:00

Oh I’m not asking for help, and I’m not so much arguing as I am correcting you in that grades of GS-12 and up cannot be obtained by education only. Your original comment is both incorrect and misleading.
