[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a friend whose husband got a job in city government there. He said it was [b]weirdly formal - like way more formal and hierarchical than similar jobs in DC[/b]. He was in the central office and when the administrator of the agency (I don't remember the exact titles) came into the room everyone stood up. Just very formal business manners. I also had some friends who worked for the Pew Charitable trusts before the DC office opened (so many years ago? More than a decade?) and they also said Pew was very very formal and hierarchical. (but the head of the org was kinda a weirdo and like that so not sure if it was Philly or her). But for all their wiz wit and wooder and iggles, there's an old school formality to the upper crust. [/quote] I worked for the City Law Dept in the 90's and it wasn't this way for me at all. I later moved to the federal govt and found that to be exceptionally formal and hierarchical. [/quote]
