This Quango City services a relatively large population - in simplistic terms... 'giving away' money, no interest, no pay back - great huh! Of course the 'clients' must use the money in an agreed way, to pursue agreed objectives, etc. Aren't people usually grateful for getting money to pursue their goals? In this Quango City, all those inspirational, appreciative people don't exist (such a shame!)! Where have they gone??!? The clients instead make their mark in life by being HUGE complainers, never happy with what they get, always wanting more, no appreciation whatsoever. Just grief and complaints. Okay, some of the complaints are substantiated, but still, come on people you're getting something for nothing.
So basically there's this huge black hole called a blame culture... the clients blame the quango for beaurocracy, adminstration requirements, short deadlines and lack of knowledge in their 'field'. The Quango blames the clients for limited performance, poor operations, lack of knowledge, etc, etc. Its kinda crazy. In terms of who is right and who is wrong, its like the chicken and egg debate (was that ever solved, lol)!
Here's what I think, firstly, organisations should lead by example. Start internally before making demands externally. Get your own house in order before creating chaos in the home of others. Isn't it kind of hilarious that we make demands on others that we can't fulfill ourselves...hmmm. That's what this Quango does (not always, but too many occasions); clients aren't stupid, they know they are getting a raw deal. They know they are asked to do things the Quango doesn't do itself! On the other hand, the clients, focus on problems, when they could be focusing on solutions. They work agaisnt rather than with, they become insular in their thinking and limit the potential impact thaty could have on society.
You'd think this Quango was run by women (i.e. random demands and heated flashes of irrational thinking!)! That was a joke by the way - women aren't EVER like that!
