    I’m Belgian. I’m working with and for muncipalities and the regionale government for years now and people trend to think public servants are lady and stubborn.

    I see a lot of enthousiastic, driven, hard working public servants everyday. They often are mangled between political pressure and civilian pressure. There are rotten apples in the basket, for sure, but tge vast majority of public servants work hard en mean well.

      German here, I’ve worked with several areas of our municipalities in the past and can only agree. A lot of public servants are overworked and really try to do a good job. Many work insane ours and you’d actually need at least three people for the job instead of one.
