BTW I respect gov't workers for the job they perform.
I suspect gov't workers are almost on par with all workers. Why almost? because it is so hard to fire them. (Like the teachers that set in the rubber room and run their business while getting paid because they can't be fired)
So there are probably more bad apples in gov't.
That said, I think my local city maintenance type workers are very poor.
/rant on/ I just see to many on job sites doing nothing. There was 4" pipe that had a leak, there were 7 guys and 3 trucks there to fix it. A 3ft deep by 4ft x 1 ft hole was dig, one guy fixed the pipe. 6 guys did nothing. Another time, I had a small business on a marina with a pavilion, as an improvement they wrapped the posts with a large rope and secured it. There were 8 posts, the young guy was working diligently getting a post done, I heard the older guy say, hey, slow down we can make this job last until Friday, it was Tuesday. On my walk, there was portion of road that got washed out, there were 2 trucks and a backhoe on site, when I walked by, two men were in the truck using some app on their phone and one was in the backhoe, also
with his phone on an app. I reported a water leak, "ya, we will get to that, we are running three to four weeks behind." We had a good aquaintance, that was a supervisor of a city work crew, his common complaint was, I can't get the guys to do the work, I usually end up doing it myself.
/rant off/
btw, probably not a good idea to piss off your mail carrier, retribution could be costly. (undelivered bills, checks, lottery winnings, jury duty summons)
