They
say you cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs and that’s true; but also,
we need to overstand that anticipating a privilege can change one’s spending
pattern, even one’s lifestyle, much less an age-long benefit. In view of that,
grinding privileges like SSHFC's to a halt, even if it were the right thing to
do, will rub many a beneficiary the wrong way, naturally.
So,
even if the Social Security staff weren’t wronged as such, knowing how
occasionally messy the process of managing change in a changing environment is,
diffusing this situation requires that the authorities are sensitive in the way
they handle matters.
For
my part, I believe the staff would have made a better case if they stopped at
exposing the alleged excesses of their MD and let the right authorities deal
with the rot. But as it is, what the outsider sees are entitled members of
staff and an outburst of unreasonable anger, which is an extra bullet for the
MD.
Now,
even if he were at fault, but smart and narcissistic, he can go anywhere and
say: ‘you know what. If I have to, I will do it again. I cannot allow
contributions that poor workers make into the system (in anticipation of
benefits later on) be someone else’s osusu.”
Doing
so, he’s going to get the support of the public and incidentally have his own
sins absolved like it evidently is happening, because the show of uprightness
that he parades is what we want to see in all heads of public institutions.
P.S.
If you want to survive the cannibalism of this our crocodile age and you got no
principles to safeguard, you gotta be a croc yourself: be ruthless, be
acquisitive, be competitive, and look out for your own interest. Otherwise, use
your intelligence, know your cannibal, work your plan, and avoid the fleas;
good luck!
