For most city jobs, being a civil servant is not something to be proud about. Most people who work for the city dont do it because they want to serve the government- that is like a lie you tell yourself to justify lower pay and worse perks. Most people work for the city because they could not find better jobs or they wanted to coast in life with an easy job. Many of the people you work with aren't great at their jobs and don't really care about their jobs and it's not surprising why given that the salary and perks are so low.

I can just tell you regularly yell at service staff everywhere you go. What a wild generalization about hundreds of thousands of workers who clean up after your ass all day on one way or another.

It is a generalization that is why I said "most city jobs." Certainly not all city workers are lazy. I used to work for the city and I personally hated it. My coworkers openly stated that they preferred working for the city because they wanted an easier job and don't care about money. I used to be praised by my coworkers for how smart I was and how fast I worked- in truth my coworkers were just a lot slower than me and didn't work as hard. It is also harder to fire incompetent employees which is also why city jobs generally have more lazy employees. I didn't feel proud that I was working for the city job and contributed so much when I was getting paid so little and everyone else around me weren't taking their jobs as seriously while getting paid the same.
