I spent 7 years working for Florida state government in the US. I learned a lot about the bureaucratic, "job for life", mentality. When I left in 1995 to go back to the private sector, it was a breath of fresh air.
Fast forward to 2019, and now even medium-sized businesses I have experience with or knowledge of in the US are exhibiting the same mindless, irrational, processes and mindset I found in government.
I sure wish I had managed my money better in earlier decades so I could run my own business (again) and only deal with customers and technology.

I think I really need the "Variable Naming" book!

I just sent a mail to my boss. If we have any of these books, he will know where they are.
