Being
a devotee of quality I used to hate ending any note with the two words
mentioned in subject above. More than two sincere years of Government Service
and consequent health related problems have turned me into an atheist.
2. It was okay when I was allotted the
maximum workload. It was good to be the fire brigade of the Section. It was, ummmm,
kind of a compliment. I managed when I was directed to attend Election related
meeting, in spite of my (bad) health. Again, a compliment.
3. Everything said and done. But those
virtues of mine – team work, sincerity, etc – proved to be vices for me. And
when “barely born” ADRs are now managing perpetual leave for examinations of
regular courses, I am cursing myself for dropping my first year of LL.B.
evening classes, for which I was granted permission from office.
4. Coming back to the topic, “submitted
please”. I realized it very late nobody is concerned about equal distribution
of work. Take this – 160 employees with all service matters, except leave, LTC
and medical. Plus fire brigade job. Now take this – 90 employees with equal
service matters, 60 employees with equal service matter. The “barely borns” were
handling – whatever data entry operators/ LDCs were also handling. Idiotic
reasons, corporate jargons / sentences only infuriated me. Result- BP level
shooting up, diabetes.
5. So why should I be bothered for
quality? If showing numbers is all what
matters, then let it be. I am not a prophet of quality. Shall not bother anymore.
Shall not get bothered anymore. If Government service is all about passing the
buck and saving the job, then let it be.
