Working for the state means you should have to give up the right to unionizing. In a corporate negotiation with a union,there is clear incentives for getting the best deal for your respective side, and to get back to work. A public entity negotiating with a union does not have the same incwntives to protect the bottom line of the tax payer. The result in the long term is that the negotiation is almost always weighted in favor of the union,as the public entity will inevitably shrug off the extra cost and pass it on to the tax payers.

Just Don’t ever work for the state and don’t ever join a Union.

Largely because it allows you to save a ton of energy by avoiding the conversation of the state and Union jobs lol

Unions r exhausting

😎

I’ll take it one step further: working for the state should not be able to provide a living. The founding fathers all had other jobs. Many state and local government jobs are considered “part time”. Texas legislators get paid $7200 a year. My state, Tennessee, pays legislators $24,313. Many states fall in between that range. It is my belief that no employee should be paid more than their boss or the chain of command breaks down. IE: If the employee can bribe the boss… who is really in charge?
