Another nice feature of many gubmit jobs is that lots of folks out there hate you (you know who you are), voters are pretty ignorant and it's sexy to float bills and initiative and referendums that do away with your entire office or program. In other words, while I recognize that some gubmit jobs are going to be fairly stable, some offices have to watch, annually or biannually, other people deciding whether you'll keep your job or not. And frankly, sometimes when the answer is "no," it's because you've been doing a good job.
