Speaking as a new dad currently looking for a "lower key" job due to the extreme stress of raising my toddler, I completely get that. I mean, that's the whole stereotype of "government work". But it also smacks of... a lack of initiative.

People should be able to live/have a job even if they 'lack initiative'. Not everyone is a silicon valley perfect work unit. And not every job (especially not bureaucratic ones) require that.
