Great employees. Terrible treatment

Public service had been my dream for years. I found a good fit a while ago. It was not easy but it was worth it. I was a public servant at last.

The high caliber of people I met constantly surprised me for a while. Then I got used to it and enjoyed it.

Positive, highly educated people that are easy to talk to. Hard working people with a conscience.

There is of course the odd problem ones but I was impressed.

Many of these people are now being told to commute 2+hrs a day on busses or sit in traffic and pay $20+/day to get to terrible offices, for no reason related to work.

I am one of the many that are thinking of leaving.

I am genuinely disappointed and depressed. but like the boss says, we have to adapt. It is a rupture.

I am wondering if I can ever find a similar group of dedicated people to work with. Any suggestions or thoughts would be more than welcome as I am very pessimistic. Would non profits provide a similar environment? minus the terrible employer?

I hope the unions and politicians are proud of themselves. Building something is difficult. Ruining it is easy.

What they are doing to the public service is in now way beneficial to the public.
