Is This Governmental Bureaucratic Satire Possible?

Let’s say for the purpose of this dissertation that you live in a city that owns a cemetery which has recently become the victim of vandalism.  Because of budgetary considerations the Public Safety Division has reduced the number of police offiers so there is no one available to patrol the cemetery at night to prevent vandals from carrying out their outrage.  Consequently, the city council has decided to hire a night watchman to patrol the cemetery to prevent desecration of gravesites.  Human Resources posts the obligatory notice on the bulletin board at city hall and, after two weeks no one in-house wishes to apply for the “graveyard” position (get it?  I hate it when my pun is overlooked.) an ad is placed and a person is hired to watch over the cemetery during darkness hours.

Here’s where the problem begins.  The council meets agiain and asks, how can the watchman do his job without proper instruction?  So, a planning department is created.  Two people are hired…one to write instructions and one to do time studies.

Next week, a council woman suggested the night watchman might not be doing his task correctly so they created a Quality Control department and hired two more people…one to study and one to write reports.  Well,  goodness sakes, how do we pay for them?  So they created a time keeper and a payroll officer.

Next meeting, someone suggested  that there  needed to be some accountability so they created an adiministrative section and hired three people…an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer and a Legal Secretary. 

At the end of the year the City Manager reported the cemetery was $18,000.00 over budget so they laid off the night watchman.
