This is something I'm coming to grips with. Massive inefficiency is not just the domain of government agencies. There are plenty of firms in the private sector that have teams sitting idle, and the kicker is they are hiring! It is not uncommon for a software developer to be asked to keep a seat warm in an open office seating environment. It feels very unnatural to be expected to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours and be given nothing to do. Some people convince themselves that they are riding the gravy train, others go crazy and leave to find actual work.
