I’ll use my job as a microcosm for this issue:

So we bill the state for clinical hours. We can only bill for time we spend with clients, obviously we can’t bill the state for our time charting afterwards

There also isn’t nearby enough of us to handle the demand of a neverending slew of clients. So rushing through or not taking one’s time accomplishes nothing. We get no “productivity bonus” that other positions like outpatient counselors can get, no nothing

So just about every “veteran” of the agency has learned to “time manage” and stretch as much as possible your time spent with clients. Not in the interest of billing for more money but to prevent from having seen 10 clients in a day and now having 10 charts to do, for which you are given no free time, and each can take up to an hour

Everyone who wants to Be All They Can Be, and be a hero who doesn’t somewhat stretch client time, burns out and quits. The system is simply not set up to support them

The idea of having the state micromanaging every minute of time spent with clients to force us into a burn out situation pisses me off. And I AM a hard worker with a good work ethic
yeah even in private business this is how it works.

The difference is one guy is like, wait what the fuck I can have a yact if I fire half these people and we still do the same work? Ok they're fired.

Then next year they hire that many people because you have to be hiring to get all your taxes and company status etc. And the cycle continues, waste is cleaned, and the company value goes up.

Mass firings are like day to day in the real world, but not in the goverment for some reason.
