Every time I hear of these government employees referred to or referring to them selves as “civil servants” I gag. I bet they all work hard, have crummy benefits, and bad pensions. Waaaaaaah! Waaaaaaah!
My sister was a state employee ..her co-workers spent a lot of their day in the halls complaining about having to get up and drive to work, on the internet. I think some even ran their ebay business from the office. They always had huge back log and claimed they needed to work overtime on saturdays ..thats when they brought the kid, the tv’s, and crock pot in for the day and socialized while getting paid over time. I know of a couple of times that workers stashed files in their office trying to hide the fact that they were not working...Its a real mess and hard to fire anyone. I dont think it would be much different with Federal workers.
