We’ll bet there are a lot of feds out there who have experienced the same sort of thing at their agency: That is, being assigned a totally different and new task that they've never been trained to do.
But we’re also wondering whether it’s a phenomenon that spikes shortly after a new crew (Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, etc.) comes in and decides to “reinvent” government.
Any good stories out there?
