What I'm talking about is orgs like the CDC, FCC, DMV, IRS, etc. They grow more than they re-org and cut the workforce, moreover, they seldom redefine positions to take on more responsibility at the staff level. Obviously they don't have the same outsourcing threat due to some limitations --which is good, but it's also true that public companies can outsource more readily. Goverment workers rarely get fired for under-performance outside of budget-induced cuts.
