My wife is in the same position of more work but no increase in pay. Her company has let some people go and yet expects the same amount of work to be done with half the manpower.
Working for a municipality is never done on merit. Most towns around here hire based on the same political back room deals. Sure they advertise the opening to meet the requirements and then hire the one that repays a favor or is a relative of someone. Once in, they have a tendency to homestead the position until retirement time.
It's only going to get worse. If you still have a job be thankful. As bad as it is, I am thankful that with the current market I am disabled and draw disability. I would still like to work rather than to be disabled but at this point in time I have no idea what I am able to do. I still have far too many bad days to be gainfully employed.
Before you start carping over your status remember there is always someone out there that has it worse, much worse.
