Good to be in the civil service


A FRIEND of mine couldn’t wait to move on to greener pastures. He left his government job where he’d served for more than 20 years in order to start a business jointly with his close friend.

The business was fine in the beginning but it went downhill the following year due to keen competition. Differences and misunderstandings ensued soon after between these two good friends and the business bit the dust within two years of its inception. In the end, my friend not only lost all his hard-earned savings but also a valued friendship.
