As a public servant myself, I can tell you that the days of fearless advice and loyal implementation died many many years ago, regardless of portfolio. Public servants get promoted by telling their bosses what the boss wants to hear. I’ve personally been told to “just go get new numbers then” when the impartially collected and analyzed data didn’t support the direction our leaders wanted to take 🤷‍♂️

The system is broken.

Sad as that is to hear it’s not unexpected. You answer to people who were put in their positions because of ideological conformity, not because they are skilled or useful individuals. For people line that ideology will always trump reality hence reality must me made to conform to ideology 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hello fellow disenfranchised public servant! The whole RTO situation is another masterclass in poor policy...

Anyone who proclaims that they care about climate change and the environment MUST support remote work, not RTO. It impossible to support both and not be a hypocrite or a liar

Just a coincidence that they don't want to do any actual work, either...

What's really messed up, we the public should be who they consider their boss. 

But they are all criminals and hate each and every one of us
