Whats ailing Sri Lanka ? Why we are what we are!

slstock wrote:WORK ETHICS

In Sri Lanka have you seen people at their jobs

a) not smiling or be courteous
b) delaying purposefully their task
c) they do their job as it if they are doing a favor to us
d) wasting time on Phone/Tablet / Facebook while not attending to customers
e) not doing their job, until a bribe is indicated


In many so called developed nations

a) People take their job as a National duty
b) many will smile and be courteous to you
c) they will do their job efficiently
d) if they fail to do their job, calling a Manager or a supervisor will freak them out*
e) If the job doesnt' get done, their co worker will pressure them or say customers are waiting.

* in SL many  Managers and Supervisor seems to be part of the same gang. I read recently about a Senior Executive at Sathosa , selling Ganja to school students . Fantastic) . I read an article connecting  Drug dealers and Under world gangs to
Politicians , who protects them  


So what are your "General" " experiences in Sri Lanka at

a) Government offices
b) Banks
c) Supermarkets
d) or any place to that matter

Someone told me SL Passport office is now starting to be very efficient? Is it true ?

• He was the pet of many well-known smugglers in the country one time,
  

• They fell off, when he became too demanding,
  

• That led to him was given death threats & customs decided to issue him a revolver to protect himself
  

• He was involved in human trafficking that leads to his own wife losing her job and his own brother ended in police custody
  

• The list is long and he is a crook and he is a nut case not to be trusted
  

• He was brought in by MR and entered the fray on  their looted money, with the intention of splitting the middle class educate Colombian votes usually go against MR clan.

Well, even if it was 5 people , it is more feedback than here right?

Sometimes I really wonder  what I am doing here writing all this stuff for little feedback , Even for a National Cause (  while I am neglecting my personal issues.)  

Day by Day, I am starting to reaffirm  the fact spending 10 hours with 3 like minded is
much gratifying and more effective  than  spending 10 hours with 30 who DO NOT CARE.

Engineers union in the CEB forced all the governments so far with success. They were successful in -

a) making the Government pay their payee taxes out of CEB funds when CEB is running at a loss and when all other government servants pay payee taxes,
b) forcing the management to approve high salaries and allowances over all other employees,
c) scuttling the moves to restructure the CEB for better management,
d) dictating terms over future power generation plans of the government,
e) stopping many disciplinary actions against their union leaders,
f) stopping the recovery of losses highlighted in audit reports.

(list is endless and new ones are added regularly)

?Can a country prosper with such idiots all around covering all segments of the economy.

Since there is no war situation, the military can be deployed to run such places (than deploying them to decorate shrines).
All we need is one strong national minded leader.
Sadly, none in the horizon yet.
