Latest studies on the public sector found that the higher levels of management were actually underpaid relative to those with similar functions in the private sector.

Not everybody in public service has a secured job.

Comments such as "salaries for producing internal reports i.e. meaningless" are meant to convince people of what, exactly? Back it up, or leave it out.

Regarding 'lucky to have a job'- Most of the thread has in fact been trying to determine if one can be considered lucky for the opportunity to work 35 hours a week for €80, while simultaneously having everyone else in society line up to take ill-informed and even iller-considered potshots at you for the privilege.
