He defended himself. According to him, management had sought the means to turn it. A new bag service was set up, with other performance criteria. He did not enter the ranks, so it had to be eliminated. And we had found this reason: a training in which he was not present. He denounced an “exclusively dependent” investigation carried out with “real relentlessness” to “put it outside”.

In fact, the survey was painting a portrait of an official paid 3,000 euros net per month … to do what? She made the account: 7 files processed in one year, not one more. The investigation concluded: “We are clearly in front of an agent who performs few missions. He puts on his actions behind pseudo-missions. He blurs the tracks and tries to conceal his lack of action by fulfilling his planning table with off-peak hours”.
Over the past two months, “it is not possible to know what he really did for 25 half-days. […] The interested party has a full day to fulfill a task which, in the best of cases, requires an hour of work “.
And it was, it seems, recurring. Specialized judicial police officer, the civil servant had already had to be cropped in the past.
Two years earlier, the management had reproached its “lack of zeal”, the “lack of efficiency”, “its little speed”.
The authority had set objectives to be achieved, quotas to be achieved: he was asked to carry out “at least 10 establishment inspections per month” and to “increase” the controls of offenses.

“An example to follow“
According to the survey always, “tasks of giving a simple phone call are sometimes executed after fifteen days”.
Managed asked him to provide a daily report from his services? He remained “without answering”.
She demanded, on Friday, that he provided the detailed report of the past week: no answer.
And yet, the round of the bag service was known, in time, to “devote himself to his job” which was, for him, “a source of development.”
Recruited in the 2000s, his colleagues saw him as “an example to follow”.
And then came the covid and, with the health crisis in the early 2020s, the first slippages.

An investigation was open, already for “lack of zeal”. It led to a first sanction: 20 percent of salary deduction for two months, which he did not seek to challenge.
This time, however, he was going to defend himself and denounce the “working atmosphere” since it was a question, in Charleroi, to dismantle the SOS pollution service. This service had existed for twenty years to react 7 days a week to the complaints of the public and to pollution of all kinds, of the kind of filth and plant waste deposits, capture and sterilization of pigeons, deratization, etc.
Since it was a question of deleting it, the staff denounced a heavy atmosphere. “We were the subject, he said, of significant psychological pressures in terms of yield and processing of files”.
He understood that he was part of the heads to be cut. He paid the price for the new policy.
From 3,000 to 1,650 euros per month

Strongly resigned, he who earned 3,000 euros found himself, as the fifties approach, with 1,650 euros per month paid by the CPAS.
