I worked in commercial power generation for my entire career. One of my friends who traveled around the industry as a consultant once took a job for a year working at a DOE facility. He was astonished at the low productivity expectations there. He told me they gave him at least a month to get a task done that facilities in the private sector would have expected him to complete in a day or two. He also said that when he finished a task and turned it in, it would take weeks before he would be given more work unless he went to ask for it.
