This DOGE Operative Got a Huge Surprise Once He Was Actually Inside the Government

Lavignia was met not with bored bureaucrats lazily collecting cushy government paychecks, but with mission-driven workers who "love their jobs."

"In a sense, that makes the DOGE agenda a little bit more complicated, because if half the government took [the agency's buyout offers], then we wouldn’t have to do much more," the tech founder said. "We’d just basically use software to plug holes. But that’s not what’s happening."
"I would say the culture shock is mostly a lot of meetings, not a lot of decisions," he remarked. "But honestly, it’s kind of fine — because the government works. It’s not as inefficient as I was expecting, to be honest. I was hoping for more easy wins."

Who'd have thunk civil servants actually put in effort? (I think for most of us having a job that is mostly slack time is really hard to tolerate; I've been in that situation a few times and couldn't stand it)
