Government “workers” will always find a reason to leave the office early...
************
There was an old joke that the most dangerous place to be was in front of the exit doors at a federal building at 5:00 pm.
Now they’re all working remotely and probably “leave the office” hours earlier.
Back in my working days, I once had an appointment with the FAA at 2:30 PM on a Friday.
I got there at 2:00 PM. The office appeared deserted (this was downtown DC in one of those giant office buildings.)
I called out, and a lone voice called out from a distance, “Back here.”
“Where is everyone,” I asked.
“It’s Friday, and everyone likes to get an early start on the weekend.”
It was 1995.
“ most dangerous place to be was in front of the exit doors at a federal building at 5:00 pm.”
4:00 pm. What planet is your government on?
