Re: Wearily
I once knew a bunch of GDS staff who moved together en-masse to a new project in the private sector. They were the most arrogant, clueless and downright fucking stupid clique of people I’ve ever worked with, and in 30 years I’ve worked with all types! I laughed my ass off when they were all summarily told to leave.
It reminded me of being a big thing at school, and then going to Uni to discover you’re just not that special. They left the comfort of central government where the baseline competence level is pumping out gold-plated turds, and discovered that a high-pressure cost-sensitive environment requires some actual knowledge and experience.
