I would not say nor imply all or most - I think "some" would probably be a good choice.  There are A$$hats in all levels public, private and government who will find ways to defraud the system.  The longer someone is somewhere the better the chance that they have found out ways to fall through the cracks, double dip etc.  I know in Alabama the college system was a place for many politicians to get an office/ double dip payroll without doing much of anything or even being present - but college A could say well such and such works here, err well gets a paycheck and lobbies in Montgomery for us ( or does not actively seak to cut our funding since he "works" here).

I would probably say MOST in government are hardworking people, and commend your sister as well as your coworker for their work ethics.

Sort of like this person, he could easily stay home - but went back to work ( probably before he needed to) and hopefully was not on any meds that might cause him issues driving to/home or any problems dealing with customers.  

Unlike many when I do see something that stands out of the crowd in terms of service or something I do like to make it know to that person or their superiors that they have something to be proud of from that employee.  Funniest one ever was at a local steakhouse, asked for the manager and the waitress came back with him with the "oh God what did I do face" with the manager  was shocked when I told him that she was probably one of the best servers I have ever experienced anywhere and left a nice tip.
