I say "majority" because there is a small segment who are in upper management to begin with in the private sector, so transferring to the public sector is no big thing for them as the perks usually stay the same.G.

She has an Assistant Director and Director above her. They both came into the government system when they were young and are near being put out to pasture. My friend came from the private and then the University system. When she compares the State University system to the government she throws up her hands and says,"I didn't cause it, Ican't control it and I can't fix it"! She said the University system still refuses to see itself as a business and the government people can't seem to understand why you want to work hard, do new things, change something, "Girl, just put in your hours and go home!"<br />She often wonders if she can last six more years until retirement.<br />I tell her to keep on doing her art it will help to keep her sane.<br />:)BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-40737564051662365922014-02-04T08:39:46.948-05:002014-02-04T08:39:46.948-05:00How you would have "had your back" if yo...How you would have "had your back" if you had been the supervisor receiving the complaint.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.com
