Excess Redundant Manpower
The University of Poona, where I am working on an assignment, employs this one person whose only function is to go around the University and cleaning the phones.
Every two weeks he makes a visit to each and every office / department. He pulls out a cloth and wipes the telephone instrument with some liquid detergent. He also applies a solution from a little bottle on the mouthpiece of the instrument which leaves behind a floral smell. This is in addition to at least one peon in each department who cleans all of the office infrastructure but the telephones.
Can anything you have seen beat this example of how ridiculously redundant and completely wasted some of the resources are in the offices of most government agencies?
As an addendum consider this. The Maharashtra Governments wage bill is more than 50% of its annual budgeted expenditure!
