I'll be honest, I'm in a bad fuckin mood for a whole other reason but I am nevertheless sick and tired of hearing this crap. I have worked both private and public sector jobs. I am currently employed by a state government agency which I will not name here. It is true there are lazy sacks of shit whom are more than happy to sit back and collect a paycheck. Unfortunately, that is probably attributable more so to the union environment and poor management than anything, however, these same conditions exist elsewhere. I also work with a lot of fine individuals who truly care about the work they do and believe that the concept of stewardship is something we should all aspire to rather than banter about as a token buzzword. As for myself, I bust my ass with a work ethic that would put Sisyphus to shame. In the end, I'll never convince you I'm not the lazy SOB you envision all government workers are but perhaps you should at least consider your words more carefully before deriding an incredibly broad and diverse group that is, in truth, no less reflective of society than any other workforce.



OP: A UPS driver's work day usually ends when all packages aboard their truck are delivered. There is immense pressure to make timely and efficient delivery and the reward for doing so is invariably more packages to deliver, thus a driver must walk a fine line between productivity and sanity. In the best case scenario, your driver probably just wants to make it home at a reasonable hour so while the situation may not be ideal, perhaps you might consider cutting him some slack and to Stephen's point, appreciate the driver's willing to hustle and get the job done.
