- Guy to push the button of an 'AUTOMATIC PARKING TICKET' dispenser machine: I mean how difficult is it for a person to drive up close enough to one of these machines put their glass down and push a button. we don't need someone to do this for us. trust me..
- Lift Guy: unless you'r in a building with more than 50 floors i don't think anyone needs another person to press the button of the lift for them. if there are more than 50 floors then yeah maybe incase you are a visitor and don't know which floor what office is. Actually you ought to have read that information before you got on the lift. so no guy pushing the lift button
- Guy sitting outside lift pushing the button: I've only seen this job in a couple of places, they have a guy who looks at people approaching the lift and pushes a button so that the lift is on the way by the time people arrive near it. it sounds convenient but i don't think it's needed
- 'Cleaner" travelling in the bus: i've seen this only in kerala, they have a person who is supposed to clean the bus, travel in it and just ring the bell so that the bus driver can start moving just before you've gotten on or gotten off the bus.
- Security Guard at ATM Machine: Why do we need this guy? have a place that's got a CCTV, a card open-able door that works and you don't need a security guard. they sleep through the night anyway.
- The guy to Stamps your bill as you leave a supermarket: i mean you've paid for the things, they put it in a bag and now you need someone to stamp the bill? for what joy?
- Person handing over tissues in the bathroom in 5 star hotels: again why do you need these things?? people don't need anyone handing them tissues!!!

Disguised Employment
Most people will know what disguised employment is. when u travel around in india you see the most retarded jobs. here are a few of them that i've noticed
These are a few jobs i remember that make no sense to me. these are jobs that people who probably have no qualifications end up doing. i have a whole list of useless jobs being done by well educated highly paid people. i think i'll save that for later

"Cleaner" of the bus. We had this in our school bus in Bombay too- except that he called himself the conductor and got offended if you called him the cleaner. Poor guy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you forgot the guy /woman who sits next to the vending machine, who gives you change, puts the coin in and hands you the Lays, Dairy Milk or whatever other rubbish you get in Indian vending machines.
