Just another day in the public service

Staff at the Rural Payments Agency, part of the British civil service, have clearly not enough work to do.

They have been filling in their busy days by:

• leaping naked from filing cabinets
• having sex in the toilets
• taking drugs
• using foul language
• brawling in the reception area
• holding break dancing contests in working hours
• vomiting in “official” cups and leaving them to fester in cupboards.

What the hell?  When I was in the public service we did this shit every day, and much worse.  Now I’m in the private sector, I’ve now learnt what hard work is, and what bludgers those public servants really are.

Strangely enough, the behaviour began to come under scrutiny when a memo was sent to managers by staff, who were sick of the shenanigans.  What does that say about the so-called management?  Asleep at the wheel?  To date, “disciplinary action and a dismissal have taken place”.  I would have thought whatever managers were overseeing the people behaving that way ought to have the decency to resign and if not, be sacked.
