Value vs. government jobs

Interesting. Curious how many public workers living off the taxpayer actually know how much of a drain they are to the private sector.

Public servants face pay freeze under government's hard-line plan

Thousands of public servants were offered psychological counselling after they learned last week of the government's plans for their pay and conditions.

The Department of Veterans' Affairs offered counselling to its 2000 mostly Canberra-based staff the day after The Canberra Times revealed the hard line the Abbott government would take to this year's pay talks for the nation's 165,000 federal public servants.

Mental weaklings. Join the real world where your job is based on performance.

The government is expected to begin with a position of 0 per cent pay rises with any upwards movement to be traded off against entitlements and conditions, such as sick and carers' leave.

Some years ago the government was at a surplus budget.

Today, due to various unicorn/fairy dust government dumb ideas, the nation is in serious federal debt.

For every private sector job that goes away--due to dumb government policies--3 public service workers should be axed.

For me, the climate-change battalion would have been the first to go.

Wholesale.

Other areas? ASC would be handed over to the private sector. It currently is not demonstrating value as a leech off of the taxpayer.
