Are there gross examples of abuse? Yah sure, I know of lots of people who get away with murder in private too. Welcome to the world.

I appreciate that there is people who put in their fare share of work and put an honest days effort in.
But just know that the rest of the population doesn't see those people we really only get to see the lazy cunts. It's like when someone has a good experience at an estblaisment they might tell 1 or 2 people, but when that person has a bad experience they tell the whole fucking world. It's the exact same thing here, one bad apple can ruin the reputation of an entire department of the government.
And the reality is that there is so many examples of Mis management, abuse of funds, abuse of power, laziness, etc. That the general public really just generally doesn't have any faith in public service anymore. Obviously unless you work in public service. Lol.
The reality is that in private business there is someone to answer to, owners, shareholders, etc. And those people hold the workers accountable. In government that check doesn't seem to exist.
Anyway I apologize for generalizing and some of what I said, it was definitely harsh, but believe me what I wrote is not far from the sentiments of a vast majority of us private sector workers. The govnermnt needs to understand that without the money making side of this endeavour this countries has embarked on (the private sector), the public sector will cease to exist. Look no further than Detroit as an example. Thats the reality we exist under, the government is a net negative establishment even if they are running at 200% productivity. It's something that people seem to fail to understand, so it's great to say that teachers, healthcare and public service is half our economy, but the reality is that without the energy, forestry, mining, fishing, construction, manufacturing, and tech sectors, the rest of you cease to exist.
Anyway gab said it no need to clutter up this thread further.
