Working for government has brought me to this..."these old mutha fawkers need to gwaan sih dung" somewhere (yahtzee, anyone? ). Give that space to someone capable of innovation and abreast of technology. Give that chance for a stable income and some benefits to your "grandchild". Because he/she is about to hit thirty and doesn't need you to keep their seat warm anymore.
I have worked in three different units under two different departments, because I refuse to be complacent. Some people however are prone to fester. It seems by the time a worker hits retirement age they ride the clock way past their expiration point, no longer challenged by the work or cable of innovation. Why?!..Leave al-fucking-ready! I feel like I'm working within the confines of an organizational anachronism. Outdated technology, outdated methods, obstinate to change and thus obstinate to improvement, worse yet outdated staff.
I don't dislike older people, in fact I love my current boss because she makes a conscious effort to learn things and adapt. Most people however struggle with this...adaptation. And once you're in government.... well it takes dedication to get you out so all this old blood taking up space for the new is running these agencies into the ground. Im using technology from the late 80s...windows office has had 3 revisions since 2003...yet guess what im using, servers crash daily, paper for everything,...I could go on.
Once all these old biddies leave, the old dilapidated shit they leave over is going to be a mess to fix! But I guess that's not their problem...and that's the point of all this at the end of the day...its not their problem. They will collect those checks and leave someone else to clean up the mess.
