The benefits of privatisation

When I was a civil servant we worked hard to work as efficiently as possible to save taxpayers' money. The we were privatised. By the time I was six months in working as a private sector employee for a US corp delivering service to a Large Government Department I had participated in a project that pissed £800k up the wall on wasted effort but we all got a bonus because corporate success was not related to what we delivered to out customers. The more public money we wasted, the more profit margin we garnered.
