I actually feel bad for government bureaucrats, having to shuffle around papers all day, acting like the most basic procedures are extraordinarily complicated, and are useless at actually helping people or making problems better. It must be a pretty defeated existence.
No-one's forcing them to sit in their crumb-filled chairs.
It's their lack of spirit. Total absence of curiosity, and bewildering lack of adventure that keeps them shuffling around their neon-lit cubicle whilst the cage door is wide open.
Fuck the gvmt suits.
Fuck them. I’ve noticed a lot of people in my life say they feel sorry for people who are choosing to do wrong. Excusing those who are voluntarily doing the wrongs things is not the way.
Hold them accountable for working their entire lives to be part of the thieving, non-productive parasite class. Fuck them.
I can be empathetic and not sympathetic. It must really suck to feel so powerless that your life’s work is bullshit, but you feel too weak and scared to do anything. But maybe they should self-reflect a bit and realize this is the one shot they got and walk away from paper pushing and do what they are really called for. I hope they figure it out, because it’s gonna suck when they get to the end and realize they wasted most of their lives.
i would have hated to read this if i never left my bullshit job
its like if you "see it" and still turn a blind eye because it benefits you -- you're part of the problem. sorry not sorry 🙂↔️
The banality of evil - ruining people’s lives and livelihoods with bureaucratic nonsense.
