Incompetence

[Sabre]

I'm not talking about the book, rather real life examples.

"No one can be prejudiced from employment for reason of age, race, creed or incompitence."

See, yesterday I was at the station seeing some friends. However, the place had recently been refurbished and rather then having conductors on the trains, they have those automated systems staffed by a man much like sub ways. So far so reasonable.

The problem is the station was never designed for this kind of system, meaning that the facilities which are spread across the platforms. This means that if you, lets say, want to use the toilet, you have to be traveling from platform 3, and a long line of people doing the weewee dance pleading with the staff to let them use the bog. Of course they said no.

I don't know whos at fault, the designers when they refurbished, the managers for setting the polacy or the station staff for being uncaring gits.

We have that same problem here in America, especially Los Angeles.  It's in all the job sectors here.  How the hell do these stupid rude assholes get employed, when there are so many more competent, hardworking people who deserve those same jobs more?  "It's all about 'Who You know'...".

Things like facilities access are almost always an afterthought in projects like that. Such oversight is so common, I would hesitate to call it incompetence as it seems to be the norm.

Perhaps.

In the words of the great and wise Bill Watterson, "...in today's world, doing something 75% well is outstanding!  If government and industry were 75% competent, we'd be ecstatic!"
