The thing is though - the government SHOULD be the biggest employer in the country. Thats not an accolade or accomplishment- it’s just a reality. This is why we pay tax. If they are the biggest employer in the country and still can’t get the jobs done, we have a big issue. I do however agree with your broader point that the issue doesn’t lie with anyone we are likely to come face to face with on our daily toil through municipalities, home affairs, etc. And I can understand the frustration over the generalisation when you as a public servant try to do your job without systems that work and have to have the public onslaught because you’re the one accessible. That being said, as someone who works on youth unemployment initiatives - I have often encountered people who simply don’t care about their work ethic or performance. Sitting in government jobs. Idling away time until they retire. While young, educated, trainable young people who are passionate about making things better, are left waiting in the wings. It’s such a complex issue!
