Earlier, Public Eye reported the provincial government's public service agency had paid Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Nerd Tod Maffin $7,500 to educate and entertain 300 bureaucrats earlier this week. Today, in a comment posted on Public Eye, an anonymous civil servant argued in favour of that song and dance routine, pointing out, "Good companies do things like this for their employees all the time." The bureaucrat then went onto complain that the public seems to think "all government employees should just shut up, be glad they have a job and sit in their cubicles being as productive as possible."
