Heard a story recently from the private sector where an employee had been secretly sleeping on the job. One day, his scheme was disrupted, not because he was found out, but because someone else was already sleeping in the secret room he'd been using and he had to find somewhere else.

Another time, they discovered someone sleeping on the job in a large bin of soft rags, covered in towels. I find this sort of thing absolutely incredible. Good luck sleeping on the job in small business - you would not last a day.

I think in any large organisation though (public sector included), waste is somewhat inevitable.
