The comment you replied to said that some inefficiency is inherent in just being an organization made of humans. We’re not robots. The examples you gave seem serious but don’t suggest the public sector is that much less efficient than the private sector, if at all. Bureaucracy is a reality of most sufficiently sized companies. As another data point, the team events I’ve experienced were dramatically different between sectors. In government, we reserved a local park and had a pot luck. Nominal public cost if any. At another company, they bought $50 baseball tickets for 200 people. Certainly within our rights as a company but it came at the cost of our customers. Not “efficient”.
