As somebody who worked in local government for five years
I can totally sympathise, the levels of bureaucracy and red tape in any government organisation is soul-destroying.

The bureaucracy in my current job
is even worse because I'm dishing out European funding. The difference is, I actually enjoy the job because it's reasonably varied and interesting. The Job Centre was the same shit day in day ot.

I took the Job Centre post because it was a promotion, but mostly because it was more money. I'll never do a job purely for the money again; it nearly cost me my sanity.
