Living in a bubble environment

The civil servant enters and lives in an introverted closed world, even those who have regular contact with "customers". They live an orderly life that runs in fairly slow motion, any attempts to accelerate or change that way of working being strenuously resisted. Poor work, idleness, inneficiency and acceptance of mistakes is just shrugged off, the job being safe as the procedures for firing a civil servant are ridiculously long winded and difficult and without guaranteed success.
The civil service should recruit to fill at least 50% of vacancies at ALL levels from outside the service, thus bringing new life and freshness and a whole new outlook to work in the civil service.
