Post turtles in our govt. departments
DEAR EDITOR,
The previous government had hired a great many post turtles during its time of trying to govern this country, most likely due to the turtles’ contribution to the party. Thankfully, the biggest post turtles are now back where they are most comfortable, but the smaller ones are still around, placed as ‘supervisors’, ‘foremen’, ‘managers’, ‘directors’, etc.
I hope that these post turtles are identified soonest and removed and placed where they are hopefully able to make some contribution to our nation’s development.
The present government also has to be careful when it makes its selections for top posts that it doesn’t put post turtles too, even though they may have contributed to the campaign which led to victory.
Post turtles show their inability to cope early, displaying arrogant and aggressive behaviour to hide their shortcomings, and are excessively loud and loquacious.
What are post turtles?
When you are on a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle. You know he didn’t get there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there. He doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there. He’s elevated beyond his ability to function, and you wonder what kind of fool put him (or her) there in the first place.
