Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

Wang Hongtao was thinking hard, and suddenly an idea came to him: why not take advantage of the situation and start the reform of public institutions in Yunnan Province?

The reform of administrative agencies in various provinces has been completed, and the general framework has been established. However, the institutions of public institutions affiliated to administrative units are still very bloated, and many units are overstaffed. It is a common phenomenon to eat idle food and support idle people, and do not work for wages. In some public institutions, more than a dozen people do the same job, and they all do "trip work", "monthly work", and "quarterly work". They may finish all the work for the whole year in one or two months, and the remaining time is spent on "getting fat". ”, which made the masses very disgusted and increased the burden of financial support.

The difficulty in the reform of public institutions is the placement of leaders. As for cadres, they are basically the same wherever they go to work. The difference is whether they are busy or idle.

Since there are so many corrupt cadres to be investigated and punished this time, and the vacancies are all leadership positions, wouldn't it be a God-given opportunity to simply take advantage of the situation and carry out institutional reforms in public institutions, so as not to deal with a group of people, but also to promote a group of people and recruit another group of people? Batch people. When public institutions were reformed a few years later, personnel pressure returned.

As for how to reform, this is not a problem at all. It can be said that we are familiar with the road. After all, I have experienced it personally and the impression is quite deep.

Wang Hongtao worked vigorously and resolutely. After thinking about this, he immediately took action and personally began to write the "Plan for Institutional Reform of Public Institutions in Yunnan Province". Combining the plan in his memory and the accumulation of work experience over the years, the new plan will be more scientific and operational. .

For two whole days, except for necessary work, Wang Hongtao locked himself in the office and clicked on the keyboard.

Secretary Bai Chengzhi saw it and said: "Secretary, you are busy with official duties, leave it to me!"

Wang Hongtao smiled and said: "This cannot be left to others. It is about the institutional reform of public institutions. Some ideas can only be typed out by me. Please contact the Discipline Inspection Commission and keep an eye on the progress of the task force."

"Okay, secretary!"

Two days later, the first draft of the plan was formed! Wang Hongtao stretched out, called his secretary Bai Chengzhi in, and asked him to notify the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the executive vice governor, the top leaders of the Organization Department, the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Department of Human Resources and Social Security, the Department of Finance, and the Provincial Organization Office to come to the office to discuss work, and asked him to come to the office to discuss work. I made several copies of the "Plan".

Executive Vice Governor Qiu Yamin was the first to arrive. After entering, he said: "Secretary, I just have something to ask for instructions about the office space exceeding the standard."

Wang Hongtao asked: "Is my office exceeding the standard?"

Qiu Yamin smiled and said: "The entire provincial party committee and provincial government compound does not exceed the standard. It is mainly the units outside the compound. The problem of exceeding the standard in the office buildings they built themselves is more serious, and it is still at the city and county levels."

Wang Hongtao said: "Then we will make rectifications according to the national standards. We must not be careless about this problem."

Qiu Yamin said: "All regions and departments are determined to make rectifications. The problem is that many leaders' offices need to be changed, renovated, and reduced in size, which is another expense."

Wang Hongtao immediately objected: "What nonsense! Rectifying the oversized office space is an objective requirement to maintain the government's clean image. If we spend more money during the rectification process, what is the point? It will make the people say that we 'take off our pants and fart'," Just be fancy! Let me set a principle for you. If the leadership office exceeds the standard, it can be replaced. The office that exceeds the standard can be used as a collective office. In the process of rectification, scientific and overall planning and reasonable arrangements must be made. Duplication of construction and waste of funds is not allowed. !”

Just then, deputy secretary Li Gang came in. Hearing the end of the conversation, he interjected: "The secretary's reminder is very timely. I read a report yesterday that there is a city office building in Gansu Province that was completely renovated and cost millions. The 'crooked monk' chants the 'crooked sutra', which is repeated and wasted, completely contrary to the original intention of the central government's rectification!"

Wang Hongtao nodded and said: "In recent years, the construction of a frugal government has gradually entered the horizons of the Chinese people. The central government has proposed the 'eight regulations' to reduce the waste of 'three public affairs' and strictly control administrative expenses such as reception standards. Government expenditures have been significantly reduced." .

In the next step, we must focus on key areas such as expenditures, office buildings, official vehicles, and energy conservation in public institutions, promote the creation of conservation-oriented institutions, resolutely implement the requirements of "living tight days", and promote the introduction of institutional standards. The individual quota standard for public funds of provincial departments will be reduced by 10%. Clean up one-time projects and expired projects, reduce non-basic livelihood projects directly by the province by 10%, based on 50% of the annual balance, 10% of the one-time balance, 5% of the carry-over funds and 10% of the actual allocated account funds. % Verification and reduction of departmental expenditure control numbers.

Protecting wages, maintaining operations, and protecting basic people's livelihoods are naturally the top priority, but fiscal expenditures that can be reduced are still in meetings, "three public affairs" and other aspects. Among them, conference fees have the most room for compression. The cost of a province-wide conference of about 100 people varies greatly depending on where it is held. If you open it in a hotel, you need to pay for local accommodation, the conference team needs a room, and the conference room costs money. If it is held in the largest conference room in the unit, it only costs the accommodation fee of out-of-town conference participants. However, some meetings of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference require accommodation, even if your home is only a hundred meters away. Therefore, conservation-oriented organs should include conservation-oriented party committees, conservation-oriented disciplinary inspection commissions, conservation-oriented People’s Congresses, conservation-oriented CPPCC, conservation-oriented universities, etc. "

Although it was just a casual chat, several people quickly took out their notebooks and carefully recorded Wang Hongtao's speech.

After everyone arrived, Wang Hongtao smiled and said: "An office building that exceeds the standard reminds me of this, but it really needs to be grasped. I called you here today to discuss a piece of work. You all know about the anti-corruption matter, and it will definitely happen. A considerable number of leaders have been removed from their posts or even held criminally responsible. A large number of leadership positions have been vacant, and we have to find a way to solve them. At this year's central meeting, the central government has proposed institutional reforms in public institutions and is planning to introduce policies. I would like to take this opportunity. , taking the lead in implementing the institutional reform of public institutions in Yunnan Province, this should be a good opportunity with minimal personnel pressure! This is my result in the past two days, everyone can take a look first."

Yang Guoqiang, director of the Department of Human Resources and Social Security, stood up quickly and distributed materials to everyone. Then everyone concentrated on studying the "Organizational Reform Plan for Public Institutions in Yunnan Province".

They are all veterans, and soon everyone saw that the "reform plan" drafted by the secretary was unprecedentedly powerful and would indeed enable the province's public institutions to achieve the maximum "downsizing" effect.

When everyone had finished reading, Wang Hongtao said: "When I was doing research in the county, I went to an agricultural bureau, which has 15 secondary public institutions. Some units have eight or nine people, and they only do one job throughout the year. The work is easy. This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon. The government spends a lot of money every year, not to support idle people, but to make them serve the people! Moreover, at the grassroots level, there are a large number of people who are busy to death and idle people who can die of idleness. The situation is that some senior cadres are enshrined like "uncle" and cannot be said or used, but many units are clamoring that no one can use them. If there is no reform, the common people will curse their mothers, and they have already begun to curse their mothers. The impact is quite bad and seriously corrupted. It affects the image of the party and the government.”

Li Gang said: "The secretary is right. Some units have names so unfamiliar that I have never heard of them. They only do one job a year and can be completed in just one month. Some units have completely overlapping functions, and each does its own thing and spends its own money. funds, resulting in a huge waste of funds and resources. In some units, the work has ended, but the institutions are still retained. The government spends money to support idle people, but some units do not have enough manpower. All kinds of chaos continue to emerge, and the people There are so many complaints, I think reform is imperative!”

Qiu Yamin said: "Yes, including our provincial agencies, there is a large number of overstaffed people. Some young cadres start to lie down as soon as they start work, not to mention those veteran cadres who extremely lack a sense of responsibility. They only do the big tasks at hand and do not follow the leaders' arrangements. I try to shirk other jobs in every possible way, and just saying 'I can't' will push me away. It's very dangerous to continue like this!"

Wang Hongtao said: "Everyone has read the plan. It mainly targets the unclear functional positioning of some public institutions, the lack of separation between politics and business, and the lack of flexible mechanisms. The total supply of public welfare services is insufficient, the supply method is single, the resource allocation is unreasonable, and the quality is poor. and low efficiency, and promote the reform of public institutions by category.

It is necessary to clean up and standardize existing public institutions. Those that are not established in accordance with regulations or that have completed the specific tasks originally undertaken will be cancelled. If the layout structure is unreasonable, the settings are too scattered, the work tasks are seriously insufficient, or the responsibilities are the same, they should be integrated.

If it involves the adjustment of institutional staffing, the quotas and total staffing of government agencies must not be exceeded. The responsibilities and categories of public institutions must be re-clarified. If the work tasks are insufficient, they shall be canceled or merged into other public institutions. For public institutions that fully assume administrative functions, they can be adjusted to be internal agencies of relevant administrative agencies. If it is really necessary to set up a separate administrative agency, it must be set up in accordance with the principle of streamlining and efficiency, and the establishment of public institutions can only be reduced but not increased.

Promote enterprise transformation and restructuring. Transformed units must cancel the legal person status of public institutions in accordance with regulations, write off the establishment of public institutions, conduct state-owned asset property rights registration and industrial and commercial registration, sign labor contracts with current employees in accordance with the law, and establish or continue social insurance relationships. After public institutions are converted into enterprises and restructured, they must be gradually decoupled from the original administrative departments in accordance with the principles of separation of government from enterprises and separation of government assets, and the institutions that perform the duties of state-owned asset investors shall be responsible.

Improve transition policies. In order to smoothly promote the transformation work, a transition period can be given, usually 5 years. During the restructuring process, "new methods for new employees and old methods for old people" will be implemented. The original levels will not be reduced and the benefits will remain unchanged. It is allowed for the merged unit to have more than a dozen leaders and overstaffing of dozens or hundreds of people. However, the establishment and approval must be scientific and reasonable. From now on, the unit will be "only out but not in". It will take to years to naturally digest the existing personnel. Only when the unit is vacant can we recruit people. Public institutions implement quota control, and public institutions implement total management. "
