It's been my experience that there is an "old guard" of folks in government service who are truly the poster children for the public's perception of government workers.
Having been in both private and public sectors, I don't see a whole lot of difference in the people these days. Yes, there are probably more slackers in public service, but the nature of the organization simply allows for such behavior. As government becomes more like the private sector, that will go away. Our county government is such that it is customer (taxpayer) driven, and our County Administrator places that value at the top of the list. There's no nasty people at the DMV or horror stories of trying to wade through the bureaucracy to get something done. If this occurs, he's on it in no time and the offenders are out or banished to some distant site in the County to be rehabilitated. County government is much smaller, agile, and far easier to change, I believe. That being said, it's a top-down sort of attitude. Otherwise, the inmates run the asylum.
