Bob Jones: Clerical Corpses


Almost 20 years back a Finnish Government office-worker sat undisturbed for 2 full days amid his colleagues, despite being dead.

Commenting on this recent revelation Britain’s Daily Telegraph noted that his absence of activity had no effect on the Department’s output and was testimony to modern day growth in office non-jobs. Bear in mind also, that Finland is held up as the example of efficiency and fresh thinking in so many activities and specially education.

Is this possible in New Zealand Government offices? The answer is yes, at least in respect of nonsense jobs of which there are vast numbers.
