"I still say they are less productive. "I have stated about 4 times that it was the system that is the problem "that is what you believe, rather than that the employee is the problem? Do you understand that there is a difference between telling a child that their dad works for an unproductive private business or an unproductive arm of the "system", than telling him that his dad is an unproductive person?are people of unproductive work habits and dubious character. There are people who are unproductive employees. There are people who sleep past the lunch hour, and stagger to their desk late. There are people who exhibit poor character and slovenly work habits--sometimes compounded by drug use, and so forth. So perhaps, if you are not meaning to refer to these people when you refer to "unproductive" employees--you could adopt a more accurate manner of speech. Why should all public sector employees be labeled with your disrespectful label? Are all firemen unproductive? Are all public defenders?
