[Mary21973]

Having spent three years working in a county hospital and three years working for municipal government, I can’t say I believe government employees are lazy, dumb or rude. Although working in these environments put me in the position of dealing with brutal politics on the part of clerical staff (upper management was pretty clean), people could be dedicated, helpful to the public and perhaps disappointed that they did not go on to higher levels of education.

I saw a lot of sadness in my fellow government employees. A lot of boredom. A lot of people who made career choices based on security rather than interest or talent. However, in general, there are three areas that may influence the way government employees are perceived: 1) I have heard that the less an organization depends on customers, the more politics you will find. 2) Government employees do their work on budgets that are miniscule compared to what you’d find in the private sector. 3) Government employees make an average of half the salary they would in the private sector. Maybe the best and brightest move on?
