What IS it with these people?


It's the jubilation of the workshy that they won't actually have to do
anything.


I don't necessarily regard them as workshy, ISTM for them it's a matter
of principal.

There seems to be an all pervading attitude by individuals in
institutions like the NHS that they will decide what services are
delivered to the patients and when. It is their refuge.


I've always thought that applied to many workers in councils.

There are professional exceptions (e.g. BCOs) but the average worker
seems to be someone who wasn't good enough to get a job elsewhere. They
have a low paid and boring job, and make it bearable by using and abusing
any power they have.
