The bureaucratic bullshit (BBS) is roughly proportional to the size and the age of the organization. There's nothing special about govt work that makes it more susceptible to BBS... except that the govt is much bigger and older than most companies.

Shit, imagine working for the Vatican. They're a worldwide operation, and they've been at it for 2000 years. When St. Peter was doing all the hiring personally, it was a lot easier to get your foot in the door.
