I left a private sector job where I did increasingly evil things for a good amount of money for a public works job where I'm doing something beneficial to society. I have to work a shit-ton of OT to make the same money but the OT is there for the working and I ultimately maybe work a hair more than I used to in my salary position.
Living the ducking dream man, have at it!
I have a public service job.
Can't afford to live, get shouted at by callers irrelevant to my role each day just cos I am at a phone, can't work from home despite the whole organisation doing so, higher paid people throw their workload at me cos they don't want to do it.
Feels no different from when i was in the private sector really.

Federal government spending is not funded by taxes. When the federal government spends, it credits accounts with the press of a keystroke, creating money from nothing. The federal government issues money by spending and destroys money by collecting taxes. https://medium.com/@nicholasadiaz7/on-the-role-of-taxes-mmt-707fb4b3b80b
I've been working at a rich ladies house the last few weeks.
If you used her money to feed an entire town for a month, she wouldn't even know.
Stop it you're starting to tax me π
Hmmm where does public service build wind turbines?
