first of all, we're officers of
the town hall, and not of the State: this means more controls, harder job
and consequently fewer possibilities to hide oneself behind the shield
of "many responsibles, no responsible";our salary is one of the lowest
in Italy: I've the responsibility for 10 people and an activity whose
budget is about about 520.000 euro in a yoear and my salary, taxes paid,
is 1100 euro in a month.... :-(That's why our job has been quite despised for a long time: now, due to the high unemployment rate in Italy, young people are less fussy. But what about the people who chose this job, just like me, and are considered guilty because of something they didn't do?
nobody can be define an idler just
because of one's job; moreover, a national law in 1993 compelled town halls
to control their staff, and the private agencies for personnel management,
which took charge for the control, found that in many cases the personnel
in town halls is not sufficient, because the job has changed and the services
to citizen are largely increased;we must take possession of our dignity
as officials, notwithstanding the muddled laws, the low esteem, the difficulties
created by the politicians who want the officials to be faithful to
them and not to public administration: that is also due to laws which
distinguish politics from management only nominally, but are voted by legislators
who seem to be out of the context of local government.
