"It is a union job. Sure the union does benefit us all as employees but at the same time it makes it so that the only way to promote is by time and seniority. It is a secure job as long as you are productive but there is not a lot of incentive to really work hard, although in this department I am fortunate enough to have excellent coworkers it has a negative effect on employee morale in other departments with high turnover rates like the department of social services (DPSS). At DPSS people will work hard until they pass their probation and then magically become lazy because it is nearly impossible to get fired."
