Welcome to the Seven Deadly Sins of Bureaucracy, where the only thing more plentiful than paperwork is your frustration. I'm Old Tim, your guide through this treacherous landscape.
Whereby the system is so slow, you'll forget why you started.
Example: Filing for a new parking ticket takes 6.3 years.
Where the system eats its own tail, leaving you lost and confused.
Example: You need to fill out Form 27-B, but it's been renamed to Form 27-A.
Where the love of bureaucracy is so strong, it's a cult.
Example: They're still using punch cards in the accounting department.
Where the system is so redundant, you'll need a map to navigate.
Example: Three separate forms for the same thing, because why not?
Where the system is so soul-sucking, you'll lose your mind.
Example: 37 pages of forms, and still, they ask for more information.
Where the system is so broken, you wonder how it's still standing.
Example: They lost your application, again.
Where the system is so confusing, you'll need a PhD just to participate.
Example: The fine print is smaller than the font.
