11. My public sector experience has been the same.

I’ve met people who aren’t great at their jobs but it’s due to a lack of effort.

He wants an environment of fear. Everyone constantly on edge. I worked at such an environment in the private sector. Living in a “Ruggt to work” state means everyone is necessarily aware that they can be fired at any time with no reason needed.

The public sector doesn’t work like that. There are no sales in the public sector. There can be outreach but that’s to let people know what services are available. IRS and Social Security customer service can’t call to see if people need assistance. They receive. In fact, forward calls would freak people out as scams.
