My wife left the private sector (working for a CPA firm) about 5 years ago and went to work for the state (benefits, retirement etc...). She has promoted past people that have worked in the same job capacity for more than 20 years because they are lazy.
They don't want to work hard, they don't seek further education, and they don't want to test for promotions because it is too much work. These people would rather make less money and work less.
In the time she has been there they were only able to get rid of one person, and it was extremely difficult. The union (SEIU) controls everything, and makes the firing of any employee almost impossible. every employee is forced to pay union dues as well.
This is the type of environment that union controlled government creates. If an employee refuses to work, or can't do the job they should be fired.
