My father is a civil servant. I think the statements being ushered are true of any organization. There are some producers and some lazy farts.
My father struggled when beaurocrats tried to prevent him from doing his job. He already had a pension so he said screw them and went over there heads. Can do that when you are 60 and have climbed to the top of the ladder in one government organization. Net result is he saved the state of New York over a billion dollars. SHould see it in the papers in January 2009.
Not everyone is lazy but the system discourages any sense of entrepreneurialism.
