In my opinion, it is totally absurd to tip a federal employee or a federal contractor. I was a federal employee for 35 years, including 15 years as an Inspector General responsible for uncovering Government waste. No problem doing that! I know first hand that federal employees and contractors are grossly overpaid and underworked, and that includes me. The only complaint that my supervisors had of me was that I worked too fast and made my fellow employees look bad.
