[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a fed and consistently work more than 60+ hrs/week. I do work over the weekends and so does my boss. [/quote]

+1. I also used to work for one of the largest oil companies in the world, and if you don't think there were some lazy moochers hidden away throughout that organization, I've got a bridge to sell you. Every large bureaucracy will have it.

[b]Not to be all "old" about it, but IMHO the bigger problem over the next decade isn't "lazy feds," but it's the genuinely lazy Gen Z'ers. If you work with anyone in their early 20s, you know that they truly do not like to work.[/quote][/b]

They all got pushed though remote school and [b]public schools have no consequences for behaviors or late work and many schools aren’t allowed to give students a zero on assignments.[/b] They aren’t pushed to work early on and it sticks.[/quote]

I'm a HS teacher and I agree with this. Caught a kid cheating recently and the kid started arguing with me in front of the whole class, then went crying to mommy and counselor that my classroom wasn't "safe". Mommy and counselor e-mailed echoing the kid's concerns. 
Have another kid not turning in assignments (for which we do give zeros) and the mom is harrassing me and admin non-stop about extending deadlines, which the kid keeps missing. But it's all my fault.

The schools' relentless lowering of standards is responding in large measure to the non-stop harrassment from parents of perfect children whose perfection is not recognized by those miserable, inadequate schools.[/quote]
