Necessities Not Met: New Digital Ministry Recently Had a Coffee Maker Shortage
- ~1 min read
Initially, the inception of the digital ministry appeared devoid of strategic vision. - Initially, the newly established Digital Ministry lacked certain cups from the closet.
Welcome to the nation's latest and greatest endeavor for "Digitalization and State Modernization," aka the "Everything Will Be Better" Ministry. It's quite the challenge, but hundreds of officials are ready to dive headfirst into this digital deep end with Minister Karsten Wildberger (CDU).
But before we can get started, the ministry needs a functional workspace. For now, it's sharing a home with the Federal Ministry of the Interior, but basic necessities were also somewhat lacking at first. It's not about old-school fax machines; it's the more mundane yet still useful items like dishes.
State Secretary Markus Richter shared, "On the eve of the minister moving into the building, we scrambled around flea markets to pick up some dishes..." Employees who usually focus on controlling budgets showed off their thrift-store prowess in this unusual situation.
A ministry spokesperson added that they were also in need of coffee makers, to which some employees brought their own from home, demonstrating their "let's get things done" attitude.
It's clear the enthusiastic team is up for the job, now let's hope this "roll-up-our-sleeves" mentality extends to tackling the challenges mentioned in their ministry's name.
