[quote=harvey][quote=CDMA ENG]There are just as many scumbags in the private sector as there are in the public[/quote]
You are missing the point.
It’s about accountability.
Are there scumbags that work at IBM? Probably. Like you said, there are scumbags everywhere.
What should be done about scumbags at IBM? That’s up to IBM. It’s a private business, how it is run is a private matter between managers, employees, and shareholders. Unless there are actual criminal laws broken, it’s not a matter of public policy.
Public workers are “the government.” They work for the public: you, me, everyone. The taxpayers are the “shareholders” – we have a right, and civic obligation – to demand accountability. We have a right to question whether the managers are meeting their fiduciary obligations and are efficiently and effectively providing services we pay for.
That’s the very definition of the distinction between “public” and “private.”
I understand that this thread is probably not the most meaningful way to seek accountability from the public-sector (it’s even a bit petty.) But it’s informative in a fun way.[/quote]
Please… Plenty of laws have been broken in the private sector as well…
Best way to commit a crime in this country is to be white… white collared… and the bigger the fraud the less likely you will be convicted.
Makes no difference private or public.
As the Human Torch says… Flame on! And the smarter in the group will ignore this thread as it deserves to be…
