Wasn't Keith Laumer's Retief series about a star-spanning diplomatic troubleshooter (where the Terran Diplomatic Corps bureaucrats were the staunchest allies and enablers of Earth's sworn enemy the Groacci) based on Laumer's own experience as a low-level diplomatic type in the State Department?

I believe you're correct about Laumer's experiences percolating through the Retief stories (as well as several others).
