I would guess that you'd be surprised at how many of them perform well in tasks that need doing.
That is a very subjective statement, dweller. Of course knowing where you fall in the political spectrum, I would expect you to say that.
While I'm not an HR specialist, I think you'd be surprised to find many of those workers to be marginal if say, you had private sector HR types do an honest evaluation.
Government workers, like union workers have come to regard their jobs as bullet proof. IOW, the quality of their performance is never an issue. Nobody EVER looses their job.
I think you'll have to agree that human nature, under those auspices, cause folks to do less than their supervisors expect. Mediocracy is the result.
Why not come up with mechanisms that cause government AND union employees to excel, just like their private sector counterparts?
Bottom line results? Waste. The private business sector readily identifies this and, as a result, these areas are increasingly coming under attack.
Much to the detriment, sorry to say, of those government/union employees who fall into your category. |
