Another factor infecting taxpayer-funded public services is the Toyota Production Method (called Lean in North America).
It's predicated on minimalism in everything. Flat management. Limits on staffing. "Just in Time" Processes. Employee training replaced by manuals. Making the staff do the janitorial work.
Unpaid overtime to make up for inadequate staffing during vacations season, flu or hurricane season, or other "unexpected" events like pandemics.

It's another example of an exploitive fraud just like that ideology "trickle down economics".
