In this Federal Computer Week magazine blog post, the author laments about the inability to hire talented people into the government borg:

“The supervisors here are sycophants who are only interested in their careers.”

“My experience is (more or less) a third of folks (management and labor) are amazing and functional well beyond pay and expectations. Another third are limited, work-reward clock-punchers. The last third are untrainable and unfireable.”

“I’ve seen one too many occasions of “hiring teams” not hiring the best qualified but hiring friends that don’t meet the job requirements. “

“The federal human resources processes do not necessarily match skills and education with job positions. “

“We have more layers of management and more keep getting added without adding any workers.”

“There are contracting personnel put in jobs who have not a clue about true contracting processes. These individual are put in position because of favoritism.”

“Most middle-level managers want to demonstrate they are in control.”

Of course, the statements above only apply to government bloat-ocracies, no?
