In the private sector, the burden of a shirking employee is borne by owners, investors, shareholders. In the public sector, the weight is borne by our collective dollars, and shirking represents money that could have gone into a playground, better wayfinding infra, curb cuts... We necessarily have a stake in what our governments do, therefore the expectations of the public are different vs. the private sector.
- ausbah 1y agopeople are hugely dependent on private sector companies as well. sure the financial impacts are passed onto the capital owners, but those are passed onto consumers in most cases no? i dont see a huge difference here also the wage differences between tech and a public service worker is laughable. if you underpay in a high pressure environment, of course they won’t care. we get what we pay for with publicly owned utilities
- Ray20 1y ago>i dont see a huge difference here In the case of a company, you can simply refuse to pay them if you feel that the goods and services you receive are not worth the money they are asking for. If you try to stop paying to the government, you will be robbed blind and sent to prison for life. Quite a big of a difference, in my opinion.
- danans 1y ago> the burden of a shirking employee Who says they are shirking? Perhaps they are working really efficiently, and doing their job in 1/4 the time.
