1. Considering that the federal/private sector wage gap is over 10%,...frankly. no.
I'm not outraged.

People working in the public sector may have better job security, but they earn at least 15% less than their private sector colleagues.

2. Are you outraged that their pay increase was so small?
We'd have a revolt at my work if all we got was 2% across the board.
