No, working for government is no different than working for the Man. It's the same. I never said government bureaucracies were a paragon of virtue. But I haven't made a career claiming private ones were either.
As for worker productivity, it has improved because of technology, because workers feel they have more at stake in an enterprise if they're treated like human beings instead of interchangeable and disposable production units, and because employers have been forced to compete for workers by offering them better conditions due to competition with other employers. (Competition! What a concept!) The virtue of entrepreneurs or corporate bureaucrats had nothing to do with it.
Well, the unions helped, too. But their influence has been declining for decades, and their role today has diminished to practically nothing.
