I worked a government position, and the overriding sentiment was "keep your head down, don't question any processes, don't get noticed, and retire in 35 years with a full pension." 

I wonder how liquid the government pension system will be when they retire? I'm guessing there's going to be a reckoning as the pension fund is now one of their largest expenditures.
