A few days ago, the meeting of the special working mechanism for rectifying formalism for the grassroots emphasized that it is necessary to take the rectification of formalism as an important part of the education of the theme education of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era as an important part of the study and Xi implementation of the theme education of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and highlight the effectiveness of the theme education with the results of rectification. This important deployment of deepening and expanding the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots and caring for the grassroots cadres has aroused widespread attention. "To reduce the burden on the grassroots, ** shot again!"The grassroots cadres are very excited.
Continuous hard work, long work. Over the past few years, we have continued to focus on the work of reducing the burden at the grassroots level, solved a number of outstanding problems, and stopped some unhealthy trends. However, it should also be noted that the drawbacks of formalism are not a one-day problem, nor is it a one-day effort to reduce the burden on the grassroots. During the investigation, the grassroots cadres reflected that some old problems of formalism still exist, and the new manifestations of the makeover are hidden and diverse, and it is necessary to persevere and unslacken the work to effectively reduce the burden on the grassroots.
The "Wenshan" variant "Huihai" is refurbished, and the old wine is bottled in new bottles
The survey found that "Wenshan Huihai" is still the focus of grassroots cadres' complaints. Many cadres frankly admit that the phenomenon of "meeting the sea of literature" has not been fundamentally solved, and there is still a trend of "resurgence" from time to time.
Wenshan's makeover is still towering. There are fewer documents with a document number, and there are more communications without a document number, and some places have compressed the communications with a document number in order to meet the requirements of the text briefing, but they have deployed tasks in the form of ** notices, oral instructions, and "sticky notes" without a document number, and the actual total amount of documents received at the grassroots level has increased instead of decreasing, "The documents of various departments are piled up to me, and it takes a lot of effort to deal with these documents every day." A township cadre said. For example, a document that should have been issued in the name of a higher-level department was changed to a joint document issued by several departments at the same level due to insufficient issuance indicators. In some cases, because classified documents are not included in the statistics, documents that are not classified are classified as classified documents and are issued, creating the false impression of reducing the number of documents issued.
The form of "Huihai" has changed, and it is still unfathomable. There are many meetings, and it is required to control the number of meetings, and the small meetings of the conference are tied together, and the irrelevant meetings are tied together and opened, which is jokingly called the "nesting doll meeting";Accompany the meeting frequently, some leaders like to "put on a show", feel that the more people participate in the meeting, the more face, so some irrelevant cadres are also required to participate in the meeting, the field of the meeting has to accompany other departments to hold a meeting, business work is idle;Repeatedly, in some places, the same content of the meeting, especially the first meeting, the participants have been inserted to the end, but the top is open and the bottom is opened, and even a small meeting is about to be held to discuss layer by layer, resulting in grassroots cadres repeatedly rushing to the scene, so that the stage is read according to the script, and the audience yawns for days.
The style of writing will be heavy on form over content, and it is also an issue that the grassroots have strongly resented. In some places, "text flattery" is quietly popular, and it is easy to pursue rhyme and ornate words, and things that can be clearly explained in three or five hundred words must also be injected to two or three thousand words, and the number of documents is reduced, the thickness is increased, and the time taken to handle documents is longer. In some localities, "holding meetings" is regarded as "attaching importance to" and "conveying" as "implementation," and grassroots cadres are required to attend meetings regardless of the actual situation. A cadre in a county in the west expressed his helplessness. In some localities, the phenomenon of village-level organizations becoming institutionalized, and village cadres are busy sitting on duty to cope with various meetings and inspections, and even require village cadres to attend meetings "in suits and leather shoes." This not only increases the burden on the grassroots units, but also appears to be out of place and out of place, thus aggravating the risk of detachment from the masses.
There are too many inspections and assessments, and the actual results are worrying
Supervision, inspection and assessment are important means to promote the implementation of policies. However, in reality, some supervision, inspection and assessment have fallen into the trap of formalism and bureaucracy, resulting in "formalism on tiptoes", which not only brings heavy pressure to the grassroots level, but also makes the work worry of falling into vain.
I just held a meeting to issue a document to deploy the work, and within a few days, I was going to carry out various supervision and inspection ......"Grassroots cadres reflect that multiple inspections are still overwhelming. Some departments use supervision and inspection as the only way to promote the implementation of the work, and there are still many inspections of all kinds at all levels, and the grassroots level is often tired of meeting all kinds of inspections. There are also those who do not allow the inspector to conduct research, rush up, concentrate on the pile, and carry out the actual supervision and inspection assessment in the name of investigation and research. A cadre of a certain township and town in eastern China said that some supervision and inspection teams have changed their names to "supervision groups" and "investigation groups" instead of "horse vests," forcing the grassroots units to "either accompany the inspection or be on the way to meet the inspection," and they have no intention or ability to do their own work well.
The assessment indicators are cumbersome and generally rough up and down. In some localities, the higher-ups lack a grasp to promote the work, and in order to show the "implementation of the work", the assessment standards are increased year by year out of reality, and the terms are numerous and difficult to understand, and the grassroots cadres are tired of running around in order to complete the high assessment indicators. In some localities, they copy the requirements of the higher authorities and "dump" the implementation to the grass-roots units, often without making overall plans and designing, and without taking into account the actual conditions of the grass-roots units, but are eager to produce results and achieve results. For example, the Federation of Trade Unions of Benxi City, Liaoning Province, formulated a document that deviated from reality and increased layer by layer, refining the target tasks that should have been completed by the end of December 2023 to 80% of the target tasks by June 30, 2021, which greatly shortened the time limit for the grassroots to complete the tasks and greatly increased the burden of grassroots work.
Some supervision and inspection one-sided pursuit of the number of inspections, the number of problems and other data are good-looking, insufficient preparation in advance, not much understanding of the business, supervision and deformation, so that the supervision and rectification are superficial. Some grassroots cadres mentioned that the supervision, inspection and assessment in some places are still "the same as the old", looking around, listening to reports, and pairing, not only the problems found are superficial, but also cannot provide a basis for decision-making;In some places, there have been repeated rectifications and repeated rectifications, and "today this department has been asked to be rectified in this way, and tomorrow another inspection group will come to demand that kind of rectification." Grassroots cadres are caught in the middle and are in a dilemmaIn some places, formalism has been used to rectify the problem of formalism, and formalism has been rectified only by setting up leading groups, formulating and issuing documents, filling in forms for self-examination, and so on, which is merely a formality and has caused a new burden on the grassroots level, which is ridiculous and ironic.
Digital "empowerment" becomes digital "performance", and the show is out of shape
Dozens of work platform work groups, afraid of missing important news, have to 'swipe the screen' at any time, tired and dry eyes." In the interview, many grassroots cadres talked about the emergence of "formalism on the fingertips" and the new performance of "electronic yamen", which has made "digital empowerment" a "digital burden".
Emphasizing platform construction over operation and maintenance is an important manifestation of digital formalism. Some places are keen to engage in digital face projects, regardless of the actual development of various digital platforms and government affairs APP, due to the lack of overall design and the failure to effectively integrate the best functions, the problem of duplicate construction and decentralized construction of digital platforms is prominentIn addition, there is a lack of continuous attention and necessary technical, manpower, and financial investment in operation and maintenance after completion, resulting in the "zombification" and "hollowing" of a large number of digital platforms, and the "water army" of soliciting opinions, which is not worthy of the name and is difficult to really play a role.
Another manifestation of the deformation of e-government is the heavy tree "chimney" and light connection. In some places, data collection is departmentalized, and all levels and functional departments have their own sets of operating government affairs platforms and data collection systems, and the collected data is fragmented, the application integration is insufficient, the value of data is not fully explored, and the convenience and benefit of the people have become glamorous empty slogansSome government software interface is not friendly, cumbersome operation, many grassroots cadres are more "difficult" to use, and the information between the platforms is not interconnected, such as the same information at the grassroots level needs to be repeatedly entered on different apps and applications, and the grassroots have greater opinions on this.
The management orientation of emphasizing numbers and leaving traces over results has increased the burden of grassroots work. Some places leave traces beyond the work content itself, digital technology is more convenient for this kind of trace behavior, some require the work to take photos and upload punch cards, such as the Bijie City Agricultural Ecological Environment and Resource Protection Station in Guizhou Province requires the grassroots to fill in the questionnaire at the same time, upload the household toilet before and after the rectificationToo many and too many government apps, WeChat groups forced promotion, abuse of points ranking is also a problem that is strongly reflected at the grassroots level, some in order to show that they are close to the people for the people, and even do not hesitate to invite "gunmen" to brush comments on the government affairs platform and engage in interaction, such as the outdoor advertising setting management office of the Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau of Macheng City, Hubei Province, in violation of regulations in the online selection of each community to vote, and the voting situation is linked to the usual work assessment, resulting in adverse effects;Others use "digital ledgers" to replace on-the-spot investigations, and sometimes even do not hesitate to fabricate data, fabricate materials, and submit invalid data, and the shift in the focus of work has caused the grassroots to fall into the quagmire of formalism.
All kinds of new manifestations of formalism that increase the burden on the grassroots not only cause serious internal friction, so that the grassroots cadres fall into the "strange circle" of coping with various meetings, documents, and the first generation, have no time and energy to do practical things for the masses, damage the relationship between the party and the masses, and also dampen the enthusiasm of the grassroots cadres, seriously affect the implementation of the decision-making and deployment, waste a lot of manpower, financial resources, material resources and precious time, and delay the development of the cause of the party and the country.
Why did grassroots cadres fall into an ineffective "involution".
The work of reducing the burden on the grassroots has been constantly promoting rectification, but why are some problems that increase the burden on the grassroots still repeatedly prohibited, and new situations and new trends continue to emerge?
It is manifested at the grassroots level, and the roots are still above. Formalism and bureaucracy in higher-level units are the fundamental reasons for the excessive burden and pressure on grassroots party members and cadres. Some people have a deviation in their outlook on political achievements, and they are eager to make "outstanding achievements" and make achievements, and they try to attract the attention of the leaders by putting on a show, making superficial statements, resulting in useless work for grassroots cadresSome of them are too far away from the masses, lack affection for the grassroots cadres and masses, and are high above the masses, Xi are accustomed to making demands and giving instructions from a distance, so that the grassroots units are exhaustedSome are lazy and slack, lack of practical experience, have a fixed thinking, and rely on the path, except for filling out forms and making records, taking pictures and leaving traces, they don't know how to deploy and promote the work, and they will only frequently toss cadres;There are also those who dare not take responsibility, can push and push, and are keen to sign a "letter of responsibility" with the grassroots in order to become their own "exemption list" in the future.
There are too many requirements from the superiors, and there is little specific support, so that the grassroots cannot afford to bear the burden is another type of reason. Some higher-level leaders pat their heads on the assignment of tasks regardless of priority, and put all the work on the grass-roots level, not only the task is heavy, but also the requirements are high, and the time is tight; after the task is deployed, they ignore the actual difficulties of the grass-roots level, stand by and watch, lack the sense of service to reach out to help a gang and pull a pull, and are not even willing to use their brains and come up with an idea;Some leading cadres only stress principled requirements and do not give specific guidance, leaving the grassroots units with no idea where to start.
The fight between the political departments and the grassroots has also made the grassroots at a loss. Some of them only start from their own departments when formulating policies, and lack policy coordination, which leads to policy conflicts between different departments from time to time, leaving the grassroots at a lossSome lack overall planning and coordination, each blows its own trumpet, sings its own tune, and asks for materials from the grassroots level, so that the grassroots cadres can fill in the same material and the same data multiple times;Some departments are Xi of proceeding from their basic positions and are keen to set up institutions and signs at the grass-roots level to highlight the intensity of their implementation work, while they themselves perfunctorily take responsibility, throw off their responsibilities, and transfer some tasks that should have been undertaken by the departments to the grass-roots level.
In addition to the reasons of the superiors, some grass-roots departments are not highly efficient, so they have to deal with them perfunctorily with formalism. Some grassroots cadres are on the older side, have low educational qualifications, and lack ability, and feel that they have no hope of being promoted and begin to slack off in their work, resulting in low work efficiencyIn the process of promoting the work in some places, there has been a phenomenon of "pressure layer by layer transmission" alienation into "pressure layer by layer increase", which makes the grassroots cadres at the end of the policy implementation feel "great pressure", so they have to use formalism to deal with the formalism and bureaucracy of the superiors, and rely on showing off traces to complete various indicators;The setting of some assessment indicators does not pay attention to actual results, but measures the quality of work by whether the meeting is held, whether the document is issued, and the quality of the ledger is set, resulting in the hard work not being evaluated as advanced, and those who are accustomed to doing superficial articles are not only not subject to the board but also praised, which further boosts the unhealthy trend of formalism.
In addition, the current situation of some leading cadres who "only fight and do not love and ignore their subordinates" has made grassroots cadres prefer to lie down rather than make mistakes in their work. Some of them have not adhered to "benevolence" while exercising "strict management" over cadres, and there are phenomena such as exerting too much pressure, caring for and helping too little, criticizing too much, and encouraging and encouraging too little, and solving the difficulties and worries in work and life for cadres, and lacking due revolutionary friendship among colleagues, which makes grassroots cadres lack enthusiasm and initiativeSome rewards and punishments are not clear, doing more and doing less of the same, doing good and doing bad things, and in the long run, the enthusiasm of cadres is reduced and they are content with the status quoThere are also those who are prone to pursue responsibility and accountability, and use simple and crude methods to promote the implementation of the work at the grass-roots level, and even put their achievements in their own names, and shift the responsibility for problems to the lower levels; for such leaders, how can the impression of the grass-roots cadres be good, and how can they be willing to work under their command.
Earnestly "loosen the bonds" on the grassroots level, so that cadres can have more energy to serve the people
To shake off the "burden" of formalism and unload unnecessary burdens on the grassroots, it is necessary to hit the nail on the head, take multiple measures at the same time, make bold moves to "do subtraction," strictly adhere to the "hard bars," and meticulously play a "combination punch," so that cadres can go into battle lightly and concentrate on doing practical things.
Words must be done, so that the fine text will be hard to rule. It is necessary to approve and propose, and no department can issue a document, let alone issue a document arbitrarily, and will not issue any official document that has insufficient basis and can be issued or not. To narrow the scope, the scope of the meeting can be reduced, the distribution of documents should be reasonably determined according to the needs of the work and can not be a document all sent once, at the end of the year of the departments issued by the meeting to announce the situation, regardless of the actual meeting for the sake of the meeting, in order to blame the department for the sake of the interview, reduce the change of the meeting, documents. It is necessary to take the blame at every turn, investigate and deal with those who violate the regulations and engage in "meeting the sea of documents" one by one, and investigate and deal with them together, and the board must never be raised high or gently put down, but must be really managed, investigated, and dealt with, and play the role of "investigating and dealing with one and warning one."
Take multiple measures at the same time to suppress the number of inspections and assessments. If it can not be assessed, it will not be assessed, and resolutely revoke the formalism and vain supervision, inspection and assessment matters, and the daily research and guidance work cannot be arbitrarily named supervision, inspection, supervision, etc. If it can be combined, the implementation of "group" and "packaged" supervision and inspection, the supervision and inspection objects are similar, the scope is similar, and the time is similar to the integration and merger, and the joint supervision and inspection team is formed to reduce the frequency of supervision and inspection, reduce the scale, and reduce the scope. For example, Yantai City, Shandong Province, has established a list of town and street directories involving 33 departments and more than 200 high-frequency data, so as to realize the integration of grassroots data and fill in one network, and effectively solve the problem of grassroots cadres repeatedly filling in various reports.
Improve quality and efficiency, and improve the efficiency of digital applications. Carry out physical examinations, clean up and integrate the reduction and control of mobile Internet applications that are "zombies", "empty shells", and "duplicate functions", and strive to investigate and deal with problems such as forcible promotion and use, abuse of notification rankings, etc., and effectively loosen the restrictions on "fingertips". Break through data barriers, build a data sharing platform from the county level, realize the exchange and sharing of all kinds of basic data, as long as it is entered from a port, other apps and applications can be automatically captured to achieve data updates, such as the Political and Legal Committee of Kecheng District, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, relying on the "Zhejiang Zhengding" editing function, to achieve the "one table" update of 1030 grid staff changes in the whole district. Raise the entry threshold, and the expert review panel will conduct a comprehensive review of the planned government affairs applications, and existing applications with similar functions can no longer be developed, and those that are not suitable for the actual situation at the grassroots level are prohibited.
Make up for the shortcomings and promote cadres to take responsibility and become stronger. Ideological education should keep up, combined with thematic education, and give prominence to education and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres to fully understand that the purpose of reducing the burden on the grassroots is to stimulate the enthusiasm and vitality of the grassroots cadres. For example, in terms of how to better serve the people, we must increase instead of decreasing. Commendation and encouragement to keep up, while strict management, we should pay attention to discovering the good cadres around them who are immersed in hard work and dare to fight, summarize and promote their deeds, establish a correct orientation, and let the majority of party members and cadres understand that achievements are made and honor is spelled out, and honest people must not be allowed to suffer, and create a good political atmosphere and political ecology. Humanistic care to keep up, leadership is service, not only to lead subordinates and grassroots cadres and officials to start a business, but also to care about them in life, in politics to care for them, so that everyone can truly appreciate the warmth of the organization, and stimulate the endogenous power to take responsibility as a first-class competition. We must severely punish those who "lie flat" and keep up; we must not obstruct the situation with regard to some people who have repeatedly taught and refuse to "lie flat" and "old officials" who have a strong "Xi atmosphere in the Yamen." We must do a real job and strictly enforce discipline and law enforcement.
Sailing against the current, you can't slow down;A drop of water pierces through a stone, and a drop cannot be discarded. Reducing the burden on the grassroots is a tough battle and a protracted battle, and we must continue to exert efforts and make long-term contributions. Only by continuing to solve the outstanding problems of formalism, deepening and expanding the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots, and freeing the grassroots cadres from some meaningless affairs and jumping out of some wasteful and idling involution, can they take on the role without distraction, do solid work, burst out more vitality and creativity in a relaxed atmosphere, and do practical, good, and contributional things for the party and the people.
