Please stop calling people who are employed by the government “public servants.”

Here’s a partial list what attracts many people to those jobs.

Generous vacations, sick leave, virtual job security (do they ever fire people?) Layoff people because of recession?

I went to NYC high schools with guys who planned to work 20-25 years with the NYPD and retire in their forties with a generous pension.

“I went to NYC high schools with guys who planned to work 20-25 years with the NYPD and retire in their forties with a generous pension.”

Backloaded pensions, they pile on the overtime in the last few years and retire early with huge payments.
