I think this is the natural destination of bureaucracies, because the entire point of a bureaucracy is to reduce risk by creating a documented process for anything you could imagine wanting to do, leaving employees with no opportunities to think for themselves or be creative. So they just get to work, watch the clock, mindlessly follow the rules, and then go home. I suspect the lack of imagination required to work such a job draws people who prioritise stability and predictability over creativity.
