> Being forced to sit in a chair the entire day with nothing to do is torture; if they are picking that instead of doing their work there's a real problem somewhere.

I don’t know what you’re arguing at this point. I’m not talk about people sitting in a chair doing nothing.

> - I really doubt the people in question actually face "no consequences" and are not threatened all the time. That almost never happens in practice.

Are you just rejecting the existence of this situation because you don’t believe it?

I really don’t understand what you’re trying to even imply. I have anecdotes about different offices that accomplish the same exact task, but one was run very well and the other was not the slightest bit interested in running well. If you’re just choosing not to believe that a DMV office could be run poorly then I don’t know what to say, other than this conversation is going nowhere.



> I’m not talk about people sitting in a chair doing nothing.

Aren't you taking about public attendants at a DMV?

> If you’re just choosing not to believe that a DMV office could be run poorly

I suggest you read my post again. Or... by "run poorly" you mean "the management not constantly punishing people"?
