It's a good thing that's not what I did then... I said that the bad workers "crowd out those that actually give a shit", which means that there _are_ indeed people that care (albeit fewer than there should be).

I spent 15 years working in government contracting, specifically in defense. I've worked with a _lot_ of civilian DoD employees (many of whom I respect immensely on a professional basis and consider my friends). I also am related to and am friends with a number of former public school teachers that left their field for greener pastures. Institutional rot isn't exactly a secret.

- kodah 5y agoYeah, your corrected statement still seems wrong. I disagreed with your assessment, I didn't "assume bad faith". My personal disagreement is blaming individual people. There should be funding and education resources set up to ensure that people who make calls like this are educated enough to do so. You're in the business of personal accountability and I'm in the business of saying the people are a byproduct of the failing system. I'll bet my next paycheck if you wash out everyone that you deem lackluster and replace them with people you find to be excellent, the same outcome will be had over a matter of time.
