My career was in the public sector and there are many competent and enthusiast staff, and some that are less so - just as in every walk of life. What pisses the public off is an attitude that public servants right to a job over-rides the responsibility of management to deliver appropriate, quality services at economic cost. <br /><br />But let's not forget that behind nearly every public sector excess lies a politician who, often many years before, decided that public (ie other people's) money would be well spent (ie earn votes) on their latest whizz idea. Fashions change, politicians move on, but too often the spend continues.Horshamitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329300544060491287.post-6663880266491801452010-09-23T21:42:23.875+01:002010-09-23T21:42:23.875+01:00Oh, don't!
