I happened to see a government office couple of years back. It was 11:00 AM on a working day. 50% of the seats were empty. People were present in the other 50% but almost ALL of them were reading news papers and magazines !!
I was really appaled to see all these. They didn't see to mind me as this was their routine.
I work for the private sector and I don't want the money I pay as tax go to these people.
If the government shed it's excess baggage, then the remaining can be paid salaries matching the private sector.
Private sector employees get paid more but there is no guarantee that tommorow you have a job. Govt servants can you stomach this ?
