A former federal worker has come forward with eye-opening insights into the inner workings of government employment, confirming many suspicions about inefficiency, lack of accountability, and workplace culture.
Job Security Beyond Reason
“When I was hired, my boss bragged that it was basically impossible to get fired from the federal government,” the former employee revealed. “She said that in her entire career, she had only seen one person fired.”
Work from Home or Play at Home?
Remote work policies were generous, but oversight was nearly nonexistent. “We were allowed to work 50% in the office and 50% from home, for the most part,” the worker explained. “In some cases, if you had been there for over 10 years, you could work from home three days a week and only come into the office for two.”
But what employees did while “working remotely” was another story. One worker was allegedly running his own farm during work hours. Another employee openly bragged about drunk driving and long lunches with margaritas, all while on the clock. “No one would log into their computers, and you could see it because they weren’t on Teams. And no one ever checked. Ever.”
The 80-20 Rule in Action
The former federal worker confirmed that government inefficiency is real: “There’s something called the 80-20 rule where 80% of the work in government is done by 20% of the people. And this is very, very true.”
The hard workers who actually kept things running weren’t rewarded but instead resented. “Those hard workers are severely punished every time they outwork their colleagues because then the colleagues realize people will see that they’re lazy. They don’t want to have to work more. They’re just buying time until they retire in almost every case.”
Government Vehicles Used for Naps
Perks meant for work were instead used for leisure. “One employee would take the government truck on an almost daily basis to go out to lunch and then take a nap in his favorite park under a shady tree in the government truck.”
A System of Minimal Accountability
The former employee’s revelations paint a troubling picture of waste, laziness, and a complete lack of oversight. “People who get a job in the government often find out that it’s very difficult to fire them, and they take advantage of this,” they said. “Our government is filled with the most incompetent and lazy people, with the occasional hard worker. And those hard workers are often punished for making their coworkers look bad.”
These firsthand accounts confirm what many Americans have long suspected – that the federal government is a bloated system where laziness thrives, accountability is rare, and hard work is not rewarded. With no real checks and balances on employee performance, the taxpayer ultimately foots the bill for this inefficiency.
