I used to work in the private sector (manufacturing) but now work for a govermnetal agency. The work ethics are like night and day between the two.
Me: I have finished all of the projects assigned to me, is there anything I can help with?
Boss: Thats a good question (laughing).....Didn't you use to work in the private sector?
Me: Yes
Boss: I'll get back to you on that. (He never did)
Me: Wait till you hear what the boss said to me. (I then told him about the above)
Coworker: You shouldn't work so hard and really need to tone down the quality of your work, it makes other people look bad.
