So, a damning indictment of the Public Sector then.
We agree, a rarity I'm happy with.

She knows, though, that I pull my weight (and often other's) and never expect others to prop me up in any way. I play the cards I've been dealt and take responsibility for how I play them. And so I have no problem criticising others who are just plain lazy, useless and often think the World owes them a living.

If only they gave a monkey's.
You do realise we're just shooting the breeze here don't you?

Well you're wrong. It's a daming indictment not of the public sector, but of human beings as many are just the same in the private sector ... the difference being they lose their job when it all goes **** up.

Hopefully before it all goes **** up, if management are on the ball and they aren't the problem.

That aside, the latitude available to employees who wish to 'play the system' is massive in the Public Sector, absenteeism being the obvious example.

Anyhow, why is it the public are so frustrated by companies making money?
We had the same with Starbucks and others recently, none of them are charities are they?

We're on tanked gas here, I'd be very happy if I was a B.G. customer.

There are plenty of people 'swinging the lead' in the private sector too. I saw plenty of that in my time in 'corproate land'.

Most people are inherently lazy and only interested in looking after number 1 (they do not neatly divide betyween lazy public sector w4nkers and good honest hardworking private sector shining examples however much you like to compartmentalise)... and these days they have no qualms about treading on someone else to get what they want.... look at the number of dodgy scams on the net for an example of this.

It's why socialism can never work sadly as people are greedy selfish ******* in the main and many are blatantly dishonest to boot!!
