You guys have ever been laid off? Not fired immediataly but given advance notice? I was.
And I remember my last days on the job very well.
This helps me to understand the position of the Health Minister, his deputies and associates on the COVID-19 front.
Zero motivation, zero planning, zero initiative. And don't blame humans for being human.
They have scheduled the elections for the worse possible time.
The election had to be held, by law before the end of the current presidential term to allow a new president to take over in August.
So it was held in time for that.
CV19 is going to be around for years. It will take years for either herd immunity or a vaccine if either is even possible.
So when would a better time be? A year or two from now?
I asked to be laid off as part of my retirement plan. So yes, I did have the experience of being on a job that would end soon.
There is no civil service in the DR. So all of the government workers face being replaced after August 16 after their party was
in power for 16 years straight. Think of all the other disruptions in the EDEs, CORRA's, and MIP, and every other Ministry as well.
Being bottellas, these jobs had little motivation to be worked at during the best of times.
