We are the largest employer in the world, yet have minimal concern for HR!
We talk about doing big things, yet end up not doing even small things!
We talk about clean stations and clean trains, yet maintain dirty offices!
We want the field staff not to drink on duty, yet fail to ensure it in our offices, right under our noses!
We criticize the police for rape in the cities, yet do nothing about sexual harassment in our offices!
We talk about staff shortages at work, yet unfailingly misutilize official staff at residences!
We talk about shabby treatment by seniors, yet unfailingly misbehave with our subordinates almost always!
We talk about loading, revenue, world class stations, mega projects, postings and transfers, yet have no time to discuss the welfare of our men or value systems that need to be a part of the organization's culture!
We want everyone else to be honest, hard working and committed, yet do not apply the same principles on ourselves!
We talk about the rampant corruption in the nation, yet do nothing about corruption right under our noses, in our own domain!
We blame the politicos for the mess, yet leave no stone unturned in complicating matters ad-infinitum!
We blame the unions for the mess, yet have no concern for staff welfare ourselves!
We want the organization and the nation to improve and have plenty of ideas for others, yet do nothing about it ourselves!
No wonder, our downhill speed is growing faster by the day!
Amen!

Respected Sir
ReplyDeleteThe most known reason of a failure is IGNORANCE.
The good thing is that at least we KNOW where we are going wrong. Hence the Dream of "Corruption free nation" is Achievable. Nothing is Impossible
because we have seen it several time in our history. Change is Inevitable.
