Kurt,
It not just government jobs that are like that. All over corporate America salary personnel are doing everything but working.
When I retired this year, I called all the HR personnel and left messages with their answering service that I was ready to process out and needed the forms to fill out. By the next day no one had responded, so I walked over to their building. Everyone was clustered in groups gossiping about what some dumb employee had done now, or what color sheets they liked. I approached one group and asked for the forms. One reluctantly went to her desk and got some forms. About half way through the process of getting the different departments to sign off the forms, I was told I had the old forms... I would have to start over with current forms.
That is only one example. When Howard Hughes was asked how many people worked for him, he responded, "About 80%." Today that number would be too optimistic.
