Not everyone...
I work in the public sector and I work extremely hard. I am also paid a reasonable wage, although I started out on the wrong side of fuck all. My job is reasonably secure, but not necessarily safe. We have lost 3 posts through simply not filling them, and there is a meeting next week about how further savings can be made.

Unfortunately, some of my colleagues' attitude to the job makes me pull my hair out. They are the biggest bunch of workshy bastards I have ever had the misfortune to meet. They are the very reason the public sector gets such an appalling reputation - and its basically because we can't sack anyone.
