Public servants have lost its dignity, with social media playing a key role in exposing the decline. Can this be turned around?
Public servants, once admired, now face harsh judgment on social media. How did pride in service turn into a struggle for reputation?I remember a time when most of us wanted to be public servants. Maybe we didn’t have options or those who did the work did it with such passion that the work seemed to have a sense of dignity.
I remember a time when many of us wanted to be teachers, nurses, police officers or even join the army. But there was a time when being a public servant required one to possess a quality that today is missing – you had to have a sense of pride. To go anywhere and the person who is tasked with helping you is on a mission to test the longevity of their chewing gum or the security guard has upgraded their own employment status to become the chief admin clerk.We all begin to wish we could apply for marriage licences and driving licences online, just to avoid the human interaction.
