Management structure is horrible. It is filled with folks who won't "rock the boat" and agree with anything coming from above. There are few new and good ideas that can breed in that kind of environment. Combine that with the top heavy, nepotism filled upper tier of management in Washington DC that has no practical experience with whatever they are in charge of and it's no wonder the biggest enemy is our selves.

Ridiculous internal procedures make getting the actual mission accomplished really difficult and as a result morale in the ranks is pitiful in my Department (and many other departments as well from all I've heard).

I've said it before. I never thought I'd experience anything more FUBAR than the military, but it runs like a Swiss made watch compared to the Federal Government. :wtf:
I have to agree that a lot of appointments to head federal agencies are put there because those who put them there know they will fuck it up and they will cover for them. That's what they want so they can keep saying it needs to be gutted. Gutting it needs, but not the way those bastards want to gut it. Cut the waste at the top and middle management levels with the appointee fuck ups is the first place to start.
