Claims for excessive delay in processing the building permit

I thought so...
Exactly this attitude is the reason for the described reaction.
Zero identification with what you do. Zero motivation. Zero drive to achieve something in your profession. Zero love for the job.
That's exactly what comes out of it... Snappy answers, zero desire attitude, frustration, indifference, etc...

I am obviously lucky that I don't HAVE to go to work, but want to! The activity challenges me, brings me joy, has ups and downs. But the process is what brings fun.
If I imagine sitting in an office every day to "do" something just to finance my life outside these 8 hours, then I would probably be just as annoying as most civil servants.

It's sad... Such a long life... So much time at work... And then this "just sitting it out" to finance the oh-so-exciting life outside the job...

Bitter... And somehow sad...
I feel for you!

I don't believe you are right. Most civil servants I know chose their profession out of interest. And unlike what someone with only a limited horizon might assume, administration is very varied in many areas, especially in specialized administration. I hardly know any "typical civil servant," but on the contrary very many dedicated people in this field. The problem is actually as described above. Staff was cut back until it no longer worked. The individual civil servant can no longer do much against the deficits that have arisen as a result. Even with 150% effort, he cannot manage to work through the pile. He really has no choice but to shrug his shoulders when someone complains that everything takes too long.

No normal person takes legal action against administrations unless they have the necessary money.

This is more of a theoretical case

Come on, either you have the necessary money or you can get legal aid. Because everyone has the right and the possibility to take this path.

As a civil servant, I just want to briefly point out that the equation "works in the office" = civil servant no longer automatically holds true. Depending on the office, the proportion of employees is very high.

Just for the sake of accuracy... now you can go back to "complaining about all the civil servants"... ;-)

That really makes you want to join in on some teacher-bashing, anyone? :)

That is quite presumptuous and rather arrogant, to badmouth someone you don’t know or an entire "professional sector" that badly. Where do you get the right to generally devalue civil servants like that?

You can distribute insults at your home if you want. It certainly doesn’t belong here. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

If I had positive experiences or friends/family had reported about them, I would have included that in the post. But that is not the case.
One reason why that is so, we already established earlier.

Congratulations to those who encounter the few good civil servants.

As long as no dismissal threatens with poor performance, that will simply be the case. You can get artificially upset about it here as much as you want...

I’m glad that I nowadays have very, very little to do with offices/civil servants.

The few good civil servants know exactly that they are not meant by this. They themselves are annoyed by the do-nothings, because because of them more work has to be done.

So I occasionally deal with "officials" (or employees). I have to say, at first I was really pissed off about the incompetence. But when I went there to personally resolve the problem, I realized that 95% are just as much victims of the system. Some processes have been established that have made things worse instead of better. Cuts were made to the point that people are almost burned out and lunch breaks have been canceled. Just look at the courts, those poor devils working through the piles of files... they work for five people.

So yes, shitty office, but no shitty official.
