I've worked at a government run healthcare facility, albeit in the
maintenance department, and I was in culture shock after working in
the private sector all my life. I couldn't believe the inefficiency
that was accepted as the norm and thus just winked at when it caused
major problems.

When an employee can sit in the library and read during the majority
of their work day, and critical maintenance that they are personally
responsible for such as cleaning out drip pans under refrigeration
coils in the meat coolers for the kitchen that supplies the meals for
all patients is neglected so long that pans with sides more than an
inch tall were dripping water over the sides of the pan because of
the mass of mold, slime and bacteria filling them, and the
maintenance records report that the work was done faithfully every
month for the past 5 years, while the supervisors laugh about it,
then the existing government run health system is thoroughly broken.


That type of nonsense shouldn't happen anywhere; I certainly
wouldn't tolerate it in any staff that I supervised.

Are you a mid-level bureaucrat?
