    I surmised that the friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating rep took a look around himself one day and said "self, you are the only friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating person in your entire chain of command" and fucked off somewhere he wasn't alone.
this encapsulates why the private sector is soooo much better at doing most things. As someone that has interfaced with govt in the past on a business level, I was appalled at their lack of knowledge, willingness to care about things like.... revenue and profitability. The old adage people that can, do. People that can't teach. Should be, people that can, do. People that can't... work pushing paper in govt jobs

People that can get all the work the government has to outsource when they can't get their shit together for higher pay. At least in Canada, there's just too many departments everything has to go through and it slows things down like mad.
