More than $1000 to get a Government POsition....

Tweet

I just had a few chitchat with my landlady while I was doing laundry at home.. She told me about her husband job which is working in a government to be specific it's in BIR ( Bureau of Internal Revenue). I really don't know about the detail much but according to her, her husband got a job because they paid the position for more than $1000 dollars I was really shocked because she was so proud of telling me that. She also mentioned that her husband had a friend and he was also manage to get a position in the same establishment is it fair to every individual who is working too hard and had high scholastic records which I believe deserve the position compare to them? And her husband also told her that they can actually manipulate the tax of some individual if they can give something in return but not to the extent that someone will notice it..just a little portion of it..but even though it's a small amount it's still their obligation to pay the whole amount that they should be paying. Am i right? And you know what the sad part of it? her husband told me that it's nice working because you work late and you can also go home early...and doing nothing..OHh I can't believe that there are really lazy people who instead work fairly and with honesty because they are paid to work..but they are just wasting the money that the government paid for them. Well actually we came up to that discussion because I told my landlady that I want to work in a government agency...that's how it's started. So my question is, Why can't the government trace all their activities and why not implement the time in and time out using finger scan every time they come to work just to make sure that they are really working 8 hours a day. And do you think it's really fair?Then why not start eradicate those people who's not doing their job then.
