Worker earns R15K for doing nothing

And they would be one of the first in front when a strike is called for wage increase.
 
I don't know what the big hype is about this story. There is absolutely nothing new to this, absolutely not shocking or anything! Local municipal workers are doing squat, they get salaries. Local governments are doing absolutely nothing, yet they get more. National governments sits the whole day and only think out useless sh** to tell the media, yet they get millions. WTF!?
 
I know someone contracting at a Government department earning R600 an hour and has no work to do. Said person plays angry birds all day and has been there for a year and will be extended for another year. Government wastage FTW
 
Rejoice Marota arrives at the municipality offices in Brakpan at 8.30am every day and then reads, drinks tea, has lunch and goes home at 4.30pm, the Sowetan newspaper reported.

“It has been frustrating to sit around the whole day doing nothing. But I am not complaining about getting paid for sitting around,”

The least she could do then is to make tea for everyone else instead of doing nothing.
 
Brother went to a gov dept the other day to give a quote, every single person in the office was playing solitare. They say hello and carry on playing!
 
I heard about a guy like this at the SABC, he used to come in every day and go straight to the canteen and have a beer, apparently it was because some one tried to fire him once without a good enough reason and he called the union. Now they are too scared to fire him and leave him to do his own thing.

We all know a lot of people that are useless and don't do much... but this story of just being paid to do nothing is really sad. I can't think of anything more depressing.

Any government run agency have this, in fact alot of poorly managed private companies have this alot too. If you put unqualified people in management positions OR don't fill those positions (for whatever BEE reason) , this is what you get. I won't be surprised if 80% of all people, given the chance to work "unsupervised" , will pretty much do exactly this. And since govt. is renowned to be poorly managed and not even doing any kind of performance measurement, there is a high likelyhood this is not an isolated case.
 
So what's so different between her and a "regular" guavamint worker who also earns 15K, thinks he/she does work "a lot" but actually doesn't ?

Quote from article: "She has also received annual increases and bonuses since 2007." - According to them she is performing exceptionally well since 2007...

Organisations with no structure or line of communication = Disaster... And this is government...
