Submitted Please

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.
