The civil civil-servant

I was talking to a Gentleman who was a government employee sometime back and now works for the same organization where I am employed.

This esteemed ex-civil-servant was ruing the day he decided to quit the govt. job to join a private entity and how humiliating it has been for him to work since then.

He continued in the same breath, that when he was with the govt. how he could make people wait or not meet them at all for no rhyme or reason. Also either those guys followed (rather obeyed) what he said else they were just thrown.

The first thought that came to my mind was “Good For You”.

But not really, he has only changed the job, not the attitude.

Some people the more they change, the more they remain the same.
