I’m writing a little series on Top 5s. I’ll write my top 5s on various topics and I encourage you to write yours.

Millions of federal jobs, thousands of locations…So where are the worst places to be working as a fed?

1 – NYC – The most expensive place in the U.S. to live. Cost of living increases don’t really help. It’s not HQ so grades are still low.

2 – Baltimore – You are the field location HQ always comes to. They always bring the new bigwig by to show off and pay close attention when you are screwing up.

3 – San Francisco. See #1. Plus, all the cool tech companies make your workplace feel even more boring.

4 – Crane, IN or other ridiculously small town in the middle of nowhere that has random big gov’t facility.yes””> Some love it for cost of living.yes””> For those not married, it is a nightmare when driving 3 hours to Indianapolis is the nightlife.

5 – And for 99% of folks…the answer is DC…Too much stress, pressure, no place to live, cost of living is too high
