Well, it is a FEDERAL holiday. It has nothing to do with one's work ethic. Lots of industry people get a week or two of paid time off at Christmas that Gov't employees don't get. Think how frustrating it is for them, trying to reach private industry people at that time.

You make a lot of sweeping statements about the work ethics of government employees based on a few contacts. As you are always pointing out, it is a big government and there are a lot of people. I know for a fact that there are people in private industry who have bad work ethics too. But I don't damn the entire industry based on those few contacts. Some people are jerks no matter where they are.

When someone is not returning your calls, I would likely assume that their office is understaffed. Or maybe you act like an arrogant $$%# and you just moved down their "to-do" list. I think they likely sense your lack of respect for them and what they do.
