There's like one person per department that kills themselves working hard and then like 20 people that do nothing.

[sh3l8y]

I legit tell people all the time that many elements of P&R are accurate to my experience in local gov lol

A friend of mine works for our local Parks and Rec department and he's told me before, "It's exactly like the show, except not funny."

As someone who works for the local government, I can confirm this.

I worked for the state a LONG ass time ago and I will never forget my first day, they made everybody help the mail processing department and they gave me a stack of letters to stuff into envelopes and they gave me MAYBE like 40 of them, so it took me all of like 25 minutes and I brought them back to them and when I tell you they were gobsmacked because "that was supposed to last you all day".

Also the woman who was literally assigned to train me at 3 pm started reading a people and said "oh I just stop working at 3"... we were both working til 5.
