I’m not a government employee. But my mom worked for the county for 25 years. My dad, outside of his time in the service during the Korean war, worked in the civilian sector… but he worked for a Defense contractor… So I guess I raised on government money.
Both of my parents worked long hours. My dad *did* take the newspaper to work – to read at lunch. My mom worked through lunch most days.
I have friends who work for the federal government. My observation is that they work long hours – have to do a lot of travel, etc. A neighbor works for the FBI – his hours appear to be quite long based on when I see him leave/return.
Are you equating civilian workers who work for private defense companies (working on DoD projects) with government employees?
Are you lumping all government employees together – federal workers, teachers, county workers, TSA inspectors at airports, FDA researchers… as the same?
There are so many broad generalizations in your statements… but you seem to claim first hand expertise on all government workers. How did you come by this experience… and shouldn’t you get back to work?
