I have been carrying in my mind one specific incidence. Infact it had confuced me a lot It is like this
I was serving in a big establishment with more than 4000 civilian staff apart from more than 500 army men. One day I get a promotion order stating that a particular Office Superintendent of my establishment is promotted as 'Officer' and posted in citu. But none of us could place him. So, I called him in my office to see. I have seen him but had never come across on any issue,not even to diccuss a case. He has been working or not working so silently that neither his presence or absence never felt by any of us. He had never approached me for anything. I was even surprised to see that one of his Annual Confidence report was written by me. What happens when you have to write lot of confidential reports and you may not be knowing them well enough ? Naturally a normal report with absolutely nothing adverse and a recomendation for further promotion follows. Thoughout his service such was his state of reports. When his report reached before Departmental Promotion Committee when persons of his seniority considered for promotion they found him to be perfect with no adverse comments from anyone and everyone recomending him for further promotion. My question is that, do we want such officers or those who say a spade not only a spade but a dirty showel ? Those accept all responsibilities which some time keep pending work and their absence foreven an hour is feltby his superiors.
