MODERATORS
These people have to deal with the public. People suck, so burnout happens pretty quickly.
Most people don’t want to do that job so your criteria for acceptance is relatively low. See post office or other public-facing gov work.
Edit: Huge shoutout to the woman at the DMV the last time I had to go who was the nicest person I’ve ever interacted with in any situatiin as a customer, not just at the DMV.
My local post office workers are super great. I appreciate them because they deserve appreciation.
Your DMV workers deserve appreciation too. Your perspective is broken if you don't think so.
They don't deserve my appreciation because they haven't earned it. They have my respect because I understand the job sucks and I'd never go out of my way to make things difficult for them. Then again when they get pissed off that i happen to exist, I start to resent them, and that's fair.
