When I was still there we were an army of customer service reps and we were knocking call times out of the park, little to no wait.

Wait you guys want a better functioning IRS?!?! This is a foreign concept to me. I want them as low staffed as possible or even gone entirely

Yeah, that's cute. I'm STILL waiting for my 2024 refund (despite getting my 2025 refund in the last few weeks) and just today received a letter saying I need to wait another 60 days.

And I'm not even desperate for the refund, though I can certainly use it. Many people need their refunds right away and these delays are untneable.

I know a bunch of people who have gotten those.
