Look harder. There’s GOT to be drugs and rock and roll in there, too! ;)
I worked the 2000 census on third shift. I came away with the absolute belief that the regional organization was run on local political networking.
The first interview made it perfectly clear that preferential hiring would hold jobs open for Veterans (no problem), women (?), disabled, and "people of color". I got a call back about a month later. Apparently they ran out of people who were willing to work...
I wound up teaching seminars on IT subjects to the management level types who were supposed to already know the subject. The regional manager was a "big gun" Realtor. He sat in his office and diddled away eight hours and then went home.
