"Public Servants."

That's what they're called.  But has anyone really thought about the concept?  Someone has.

As a public servant, you have no "right" whatsoever to a particular salary, or to a particular job, etc.  If we decide we must lower your pay or dismiss you altogether, your proper response would be something like; "I understand.  Thank you for the opportunity to have served you."  At that point you are free to go your own way and prove your worth in the marketplace as you see fit.  May you live long and prosper.

If you decide, on the other hand, to get hostile about it and start in with the name-calling and the threats, what can We The People conclude about the relationship we've had with you?  Look at me when I'm talking to you!
