In the age of digitalization and social networking, any nuanced topic about civil servants seems to be able to quickly spark public attention and discussion. Recently, the controversy over the 2 yuan meal in the civil servant canteen has once again become the focus of the first place. Many voices accuse this of being a manifestation of privilege corruption and corruption, but what is the truth?
First of all, we have to mention the essence of the profession of civil servant. Civil servants are public servants who serve the country and the people, and their work is directly related to the stability of the country, the harmony of society and the well-being of the people. They are burdened with heavy administrative tasks and require long hours to work, often even overtime. In such a working environment, the canteens of township offices provide a simple and quick way for civil servants to eat, ensuring that they can receive adequate nutrition and rest between intense work breaks.
However, some people regard the $2 meal in the civil servants' canteen as a privilege and consider it unfair to taxpayers. But in reality, such meals are often subsidized by the unit, in order to solve the problem of civil servants' meals and ensure that they can maintain their physical strength and energy during intense work. In addition, the salaries of civil servants are generally not high, especially those at the grassroots level, whose income is often difficult to support family expenses, let alone pay high taxes.
Moreover, the canteens of the township offices are not as luxurious as people think. Taking my county as an example, the canteen of the township organ only provides ordinary two dishes and one soup, which is between 2-5 yuan. Such a standard of food is not only far lower than the catering on the market, but it is even difficult to meet the taste needs of some civil servants. But even so, they still choose to eat in the cafeteria because it is already a convenience and benefit for them.
For those who keep saying that the canteen has everything for chicken, duck, meat, eggs and milk, I suggest they go to the field to find out the situation. You might as well go to the township grassroots canteen to have a look and see how rich the 2 yuan meal eaten by the township cadres in the canteen is. When they see the simple, modest meals with their own eyes, they may reflect on their own words.
In addition, we should not ignore the original intention of setting up the township canteen. Due to the remote geographical location of townships and towns, there is not enough time for cadres to go home for dinner at noon, and the working hours of township and town cadres are not fixed, and overtime is commonplace. Therefore, the township canteen is set up to solve their meal problems and ensure that they can receive timely nutritional supplements during their intense work. Such a welfare setting is not only a support and guarantee for the work of civil servants, but also a recognition of their hard work.
Of course, we do not deny that there may be some corruption in the civil service. This does not mean, however, that all civil servants are privileged and corrupt. We should look at the problem objectively and not make generalized accusations against the whole group because of individual phenomena.
To sum up, the 2 yuan meal in the civil servant canteen is not a symbol of privilege and corruption, but a kind of support and guarantee for the work of civil servants. We should look at this issue rationally and not over-interpret and exaggerate. At the same time, we should also pay more attention to the work and dedication of civil servants, and give them more understanding and support. After all, they are public servants who serve the country and the people, and their hard work deserves the respect and gratitude of each and every one of us.
