Public sector strikes during the Olympics?

[DodgyAgent]

To be honest you would think that public sector workers would want to give visitors a good impression of Great Britain. Maybe there are not enough people proud to be British these days!

It is a myth that public sector work is considered as a virtuous vocation. They are primarily interested in themselves. They are filled with a sense of entitlement and their way of getting what they want is to exploit their monopolistic privilege. One thing they are not is proud to be British.

Think up some new ones DA, these are getting stale.

Did they cut your benefits?

DA is right though in my previous life as a Civil Serpent I saw this attitude displayed by the majority of the people I worked with and in some ways I myself displayed some of these characteristics till I saw the light and decided I didn't want to be like them.

True but I've also found it true of many employees in big corporations. Not as much these days as jobs-for-life disappears from the private sector.

True, but they are not monopolies so if they go on strike that is their problem not ours.

Ah, I was only talking about the sense of entitlement.

Fair enough. but their sense of entitlement is their own problem whereas in the public sector it becomes everyone else's problem
