State employees are easy targets for mockery, but we must remember their feelings because they’re no different from us. Except that they, unlike us, are allowed to alienate colleagues, harass women and misspend money without getting fired.
I used to think “parole officer” was the best job in the world, after I learned of a Shawano County worker who got caught surfing Internet pornography at work and ended up getting a raise. Not to mention back pay for work he didn’t do during the year he spent protesting his firing.
