The premeir model for this behavior is the US Postal Service. "Going
Postal" is common slang for going beserk with multi-homicidal intent. And
the irony here is that the US Postal Service is a job one takes to keep from
working too hard, and a good pension too. But these employees are
scrupulously watched by hidden cameras and manned perches that all employees
know are overhead. CONTROL (and lots of ineptitude) is the price these
folks pay for their job "security.
