I think people here may enjoy John Oliver's report on how bad the situation for air traffic controllers currently is.

Jump to minute 18 for a discussion on floppy disks or, appropriately, to minute 25 for an "honest recruitment ad".

Reminds me a lot of his report on nuclear security.

A lot of times as a citizen I think you feel that something is "off" with different Government jobs but can’t put what exactly.

And then you watch one of those reports and be like "holy duck, how can it be this bad and what are they doing to my people and with my taxes?"

Different country, but a lot of times when dealing with the government I think why are the people working there always grumpy, and then one gave me the "tour" of what they have to deal with that is hidden from the public eye.

Working toilets? Nah, they had to go outside around the building into Porta Potty’s.

He showed me like fifty places in the building with mold. Not the fun white one you get on cheese. I am talking about black fungus out of stranger things eating half the wall. Some offices had signs saying working in a different office today with the date printed to 1998. Inside water was dripping from the ceiling.

He is like that’s why we are grumpy. Ever since I bring a piece of cake and some hot coffee when I have to deal with government employees and thank them for their service. They are allowed to be grumpy working under conditions I would expect from a third world country.
