I went to my first seminar last week as a government servant. Now for someone who came from private organisation, I would've thought it will all be talk,talk,talk from 9 to 5. No such thing. It was more to eat,eat,eat. I mean, it's not that I'm complaining about the eating. It's just that, I've come to understand why government servant are so prone to having their precious tea break every 5 minutes.
You see, during these seminars, participants are provided with the best of what a good 5 star hotel could offer. Reason being, this will probably be the only time that you can enjoy all that services usually enjoyed by people with money. I mean the government are generous enough to provide allocation for these seminars right, so why not take advantage of it? Now being Malaysia, we all love our food. And what better way then to enjoy it for free. We ate every 2 hours. Breakfast,lunch & dinner consist of all you can eat buffet. Brunch & tea break consist of fried chicken, cheese cake & samosa. Oh yea, there was supper too which normally consist of bubur caca & fruit cake. And when you trained your stomach to consumed food every two hours, it tend to get used to it. I mean, I used to skip breakfast & brunch & sometimes lunch, & I would still be ok. Now, I get hungry the moment I stop stuffing food into my mouth. (Hance the frequent tea break).
So, don't blame the employees for their attitute. Blame the freakin' system for making them that way
