Is it really worth it ? The extremes you get pushed into, to hold on to a job?

Everyone in my native place are very familiar with the idea of paying / bargaining with the highest amount for a Government paid job in any institution under any private Corporate or single Management . Its quite common that the job usually goes to the highest bidder usually also the person with the most influence. Private Managements make loads of money by way of appointments which is hardly spent on the said Institution for which the person is hired. That too is a fact, to which you hardly find any reactions or active protestations for fear of endangering one's cosy position. 

Like I'd said in my blog on self-reliance , in which I wrote of how I got my regular job, paying money is not unheard of to get one, but it is unusual and quite new that the state of things have so deteriorated that, you will be made to pay through your teeth if you need to safeguard it too. I have been availing long leave,which is allowed to the Government employees. For the short period of leave I applied a couple of year's back I have been asked to pay in order to get a permission to avail it. I did do it the first time. I was told to pay the salary for a guest who would work in my place, (remember, I am on leave without pay, not working abroad either).With a heavy heart and pinching my pockets I did pay last time. The recent leave I applied for was not allowed me as I was incapable of coughing out the huge sum of ten lakhs for the four years I wanted to avail. Which by the way the Management knew I would never be able to put forth. I was asked to my face by the Secretary , "If you pay, you keep your job , otherwise resign it".He also added, "Your people's colleges only employ your people, so why should I care about you who don't belong here?" Meaning your community/religion/&coconuts.Yeah there is the rub. How can you, who don't belong work in my community college?(veiled query of course)

The harassment I faced and the insults that were showered every time I went to personally request to be allowed an NOC is a totally different story. I hear my friends telling me I should have taped and got evidence and taken these people to court. I am not that kind of a person I tell them. It hurts , yes it does, the injustice of it all. Why only I have been subjected to such a treatment right? There were others who were allowed leave with a fair amount of money paid up. Why me being pushed out? The only answer that comes to mind is , the coast was much easier to clear in my case ,and it is being done, the way paved for a more fresh means of money-making found.

Now, I am being literally pushed out. As I see it, it is all a play of  Money, Corruption,Caste, Religion, Prejudice and Whatnot. Evert rogue element has played and is playing a part in shaping our future world , everything other than all that really matters like value, worthiness, capability or quality that really matters and do work. No use riling against a corrupt system, that I know, one can do zilch about all this injustice as the rich is got the power, be it political or otherwise .As long as Money holds precedence over man and Values, we will always be witnesses to these wild, uncontrolled frenzy and cavorting of the rich and the powerful around us. So, my God-given job is been snatched away by very much material minded and earth bound people. I am here waiting to see if there is going to be  a Divine interference after all, as it was all a blessing in the first place. Silly of me right? Grow up girl!
