My Dream Job

There was a backlog of patent appeals, so Your Federal Government At Work hired dozens of paralegals to work on them. But then they froze hiring for judges to deal with the cases and assign the work to the paralegals. The result: for years, we've been paying those paralegals $60,000 to $80,000 a year to do nothing. Those folks watched TV, did their laundry, surfed the Net, all from home, and got paid for it. Best job ever, and you paid over $4.3 million PLUS $700,000 IN PERFORMANCE BONUSES for it. Performance bonuses? You can get rewarded for sitting around watching TV better? (Washington Post)
