If you thought the public sector in Argentina was raking it in, check out these salaries for local council employees in the UK.
Well, do not forget that you are speaking of the UK, a developed, rich country. I imagine that the employees are also efficient and take care to preserve their jobs.
Here, on the contrary, we have a bunch of ignorants who try to do less and less, anyway they will not be fired, laws protects the employee and punish the employer.
Also the cost of life in UK must be higher than here.
The best deal that a semi-alphabet can do here is having a public job. Of course, we taxpeayers and independent people pay for them.

The managing director of Guildford council received the highest remuneration of any council employee in the country, raking in £607,633 in total remuneration, including a £107,195 salary, £339,158 pension contribution and £5,688 in benefits.
That's just too much by anyone's reckoning.
Those salaries, benefits and pension contributions are off the charts. Are other parts of the UK similarly generous with their public servants, or did the Hereford Council deal themselves a uniquely good hand?
Sadly the 'you slap my back and I'll slap yours' mentality exists in many councils in the UK as well as here.
It's always been a 'closed shop' unless you know the right person.

The same happens here, connections are unavoidable. I was unwilling to receive better attention in the municipal offices where I asked permission to build something because the employee was a former student that was in my classes. But these people made easy the bureaucracy and told me the right way to get the permission, which is never explained.
Therefore, as in UK, "Never explain, never complain"
