"Notice at 8 o'clock and hand in at 9 o'clock, the material report is irritating; check the file first for inspection and observation, no picture or no text is not good; visitors need to leave marks, notes and selfies are indispensable; the total amount of materials printed is large, and three machines work in shifts; The cadres of the 'two committees' are too busy, and external personnel fill in the forms..."
Recently, the reporter found during the visit that in some places, the chronic disease of formalism is difficult to eliminate, and grass-roots personnel are still trapped in it.
Many "superficial skills" made the insiders miserable and made onlookers laugh and laugh.
Documented reports.
A certain village in the north is engaged in a village-level creation activity, requiring villages to report conflicts and disputes that have been mediated every day.
If not, also report a related matter.
But there is a deep mountain village in the area, and the number of permanent residents is only single digits.
There are only a few people left, where is the conflict?
In order to meet the reporting requirements, the village party secretary racked his brains, but he had no choice but to upload pictures of the scenery and add a paragraph to fool the past.
Photographs are everywhere.
In some places, the inspection does not look at the actual effect of learning, but only if the materials are available and the documents are thick or not.
Not thick is not good, not even better.
After observing and evaluating the advanced level, he came up and asked, "Have the materials been put on the wall? Are the meeting minutes recorded?" That's alright, instead of asking for photos to leave marks, it will make people feel that you are showing off, and people will be disgusted."
Piece-by-piece index assessment.
A young cadre said that in the first year of work, he received assignments from his superiors.
Each of the three government affairs apps must have an 80% download and registration rate based on the household registration population. "Excluding migrant workers, the elderly and children, how can there be so many smartphones in the village?" Besides, "Apps are homogeneous and repetitive, and there is no What the actual content. Even if you bite the bullet and complete the task, the people will not use it at all, nor will it need it.”
Add assessment requirements to local governance, and grass-roots staff also understand the "original intention" of the policy - if you don't take pictures, your superiors are afraid that you will cheat.
If there are no indicators, the superiors are afraid that you will not do practical work at all.
The problem is, if three or five village cadres are already overwhelmed by the more than a dozen departments at the higher level, they are also burdened by the formalism of "doing hard work, playing hard work, and wasting effort", the work is difficult to advance, and the masses are troubled and bored. What is the purpose of the unflattering "show flower" kung fu?
In this regard, there is a clear-eyed person to answer the question - the account shows its skills, leaves a mark, and reports the results. This is the cause of formalism.
The root cause is the misplaced view of political achievements, too utilitarian, and lack of sense of responsibility.
When some superiors make decisions, some of the deployment arrangements are too utilitarian, the goals are too high, and they are blindly seeking speed. Some executors know that they cannot complete the task, so they can only use opportunistic forms to make achievements.
When transferring in the middle, some cadres "have good things from the top, but must do more from the bottom." Glossy packaging hides empty content.
In fact, there is too much falsehood and too little, and deceive the upper and the lower.
When the grass-roots level is implemented, it is the superiors who look up and hold the accountability behind them. They know that nothing can be done, but they are soft-spoken.
In the end, the formalism comes in sets.
Time is spent on the ledger, energy is spent on reporting, the apportionment of false work has to be done, and the development of practical affairs has no time to take into account.
A village cadre said: "Every department needs so much materials, and some materials are reported repeatedly. I wonder where these things are sent? Who should I show them? Who has the time to read them?"
Formalism is not acceptable, seek truth from facts and see the truth.
"Don't report fake data, don't write fake materials, and don't want fake honors." An old party secretary said, just thinking about satisfying the leaders, not seeking truth from facts, ultimately trapped himself and the people who suffered.
More village cadres reported that they hoped that there would be less thankless "show flower kung fu" and more pragmatic and effective "embroidery kung fu", so that they could be productive and work with peace of mind.
