first in, first out is a staple of the private sector too. When I came out of college I worked for a mineral and mining company- i saw older people kept despite incompetence and laziness, while newer workers got let go first.
“ENY, if you don’t know the facts and can only generalize than time to just STFU.”
Good thing you’re taking the high road. Classy as always.
“Most of them are ENY”
Uh huh. I’ve worked in some mid-to-high level positionions for private coporations and even worked directly for at least two CEOs. They are as subjective as anyone else. And you know it.
You’re a pretty good example yourself. Can a professional who spends most of his day posting on a blog, rather than attending to the duties his position requires, be said to hold his job solely based on merit? I think not.

ENY, if you don’t know the facts and can only generalize than time to just STFU. I asked you politely to look at the specific issues but apparently you’re too lazy to do that.
“It’s about bargaining rights with respect to CERTAIN issues, wages NOT being one of them.”
You’re splitting hairs, I think. The argument remains the same. You ignore the central point – the unions there are willing to make concessions. But then again I don’ expect veracity from you anyway.
Most of them are ENY. As are bonuses. Nothing in the public sector is based on merit….99% seniority.

Good thing everyone knows that all coporate jobs are awarded and maintained based solely on merit.
