#2 Restrictions on Personal Relationships
When one joins a government agency, they can expect a major shift in their personal life. From the way they approach their daily routine to the company they keep, everything changes with the acquisition of a government badge. This is especially evident in the restrictions placed on personal relationships.
An individual shared that their father, who worked for a government agency, was not allowed to interact with people of non-American descent without first reporting it. This regulation covered any form of meaningful interaction, including a simple hello or a shared meal. Such restrictions can greatly impact an individual's personal life and freedom. These are the realities that come with being a government worker.
