There is a history in the State when the only jobs planned were in the
Civil Service.The educational system was designed = towards employment
in State administration:
Primary Cert: Clerical Assistant
Intermediate Cert: Clerical Officer
Leaving Cert: Executative Officer
University Degree: Administrative Officer
There were more applicants than posts available so you had guys with
Phd's getting jobs as clerical assistants and everything else. Pause
for a while to think what happened......
They got bored and to ease their boredom they made procedures even
more complicated.
I think I should be Chairman of NAMA and so do you.
PS. I'm looking at the funny lettering below which is viste. I could
design a better system in my sleep, which, with a bit of luck is,
coming shortly...Well it wasn't viste and I'm now looking at angst -
if this works, I bid you all Goodnight..
Special Care
Some had a strict, authoritarian boss, so that everbody had their
heads down, tea and biscuits brought to their desk by a typist as they
struggled on with their workload.... toilet breaks quietly noticed and
timed, so that if you spent too much time in the privy chamber, the
big boss man would have a firm chat with you....
...while in some little compartments of the "public service," it was
largely non-jobs and the office was a social club most of the
time....a party atmosphere.....
The EU has developed this concept to a fine art.

In organizational psychology it used to called 'County Club'.
I don't know about the (self indulgent?) bosses but I guess it is true
- the Irish Constitution makes it very difficult to sack a Civil
Servant (with some good reasons). I was never in the Civil Service but
here is how to deal with bully bosses (just take my word for it as I
can't spell all those big words - bully bosses are very bad at their
job):
There is an army saying that an army is at its weakest on landing -
taking up a new job is the very opposite; you will never be as strong
as your first day in office.
I used to make a habit, when taking up a new job of starting the day
by reading the newspaper - that is; present a target. Personal bullies
are people with problems relating to others; see them as cowards. A
bully boss will come down and try to intimidate you. If you wish such
a relationship (you like being bullied) then put the paper away and
show the back of your neck. If you don't wish yp be bullied, have a
chat with him about something in the paper. What is he going to do?
Sack you? He will like fuck.
I got a job on the factory floor once: Started at 8AM and tea break at
10. I lingered over the tea and the foreman shouted something abusive
at me from about 30 metres. Nobody, just nobody, shouts abuse at me
from a distance, to my face maybe, but not from a distance. I ignored
him and he lost his temper and came running towards me, tripprd over
someting and hit his head. He had to be helped back to his office. I
was promoted an hour later to a more demanding job. Am I rabbiting on?
Probably.
barkedge, it says. If so, bye bye.
No it's middism - no noiddism
