Government is very hierarchical. Everyone basically makes the same amount of money, so status is the only differentiation between people.
I worked for a government agency for a long time. At one point of my career, bigshots at the director level would not acknowledge my presence in a room. Later, they were my best buddies, because I was high enough on the ladder to be a minor "player" to potentially influence one of their peers.
- randomdata 15y agoI have never actually worked for government directly, but I was referring more to things like passports, where they are very interested in what I do for a living. I don't even know what I do for a living, I just work on what needs to be done or feels right at any given time. My job is to solve problems and create value for others, just like everyone else. You can't be more specific than that.
