    Shouldn’t public servants have to serve the public? All of the public?

    If you don’t feel like you can serve the public, do not seek a public service position.

    Others have pointed this out to you already, though. 🤷‍♂️

      Agreed. As I originally stated if it was as simple as signing a bit of paperwork (which in this case seems to be all that required) there’s no excuse.
