The waiting flunkey, the rubbish and characterless librarians, and their rubbish motive

The ways how few librarians cheat and misuse.

Eg:- Cardinal Domenico Passionei  the appointed  director of the vatican library would lock himself in the library, pleading important researchses to be carried out undisturbed and he would select the rarest volumes, and throw them out of the window to a waiting flunkey.[1]

 

Nowadays, few rubbish and characterless librarians are working in our field for a rubbish motive to earn better money.

 

Such librarians do not care for better library services but are always engrossed in their self interest.

 

Appointing the internal candidates those waiting, by fixing them in advance, with all evil recommendations and then advertising the post.

 

Manipulating records (Cooking the Books) like MIS Report, Accession Register etc,

teaching others how to cook the books, and cheating the top level management, by maintaining their honesty and fairness in action.

 

Taking away hard earned money from support staffs/temporary staffs and engaging them to do business in network marketing by selling the products etc.

 

Finally, for a rubbish motive these librarians spoil the entire services of the library department/division, also the career of LIS professional.

 

Will those librarians change their attitudes?

 

Share your comments.

Thank You

I agree with you Neeraj . It is very inaccurate thinking  for us really it's out of tolerance. Mr. Wanted can not write this type of worlds on professional site 

I agree with Mr. Neeraj . Mr. Wanted can not write this type of worlds on the site . I am also female but i am doing all the things by my own. and we also have to face politics in our office.
sorry Neeraj.I dont know about you.

Dear all,

First and foremost, the malice is not limited to Library profession alone.  Name any field, you will find the so called "rubbish and characterless professionals".

Second

"Will those librarians change their attitudes?"

They may or they may not.  The burden lies on other library professionals to cleanse the system. System and professional bodies have to been strong enough to identify the rotten apples and separate the same before the rot spreads to other apples.
