Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The weather has turned out to be absolutely beautiful!
It looks like it's going to get hotter and hotter from here on out.
In a way, that's kind of tough, lol.
Let's be careful to avoid heatstroke.
But that's beside the point.
Communication with Government Agencies
Party A and Party B are on equal footing.
That's what it says in the terms and conditions.
But that’s not usually the case, is it?
I heard this today: apparently, during a site inspection conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the government official in charge of the site arrived nearly an hour late.
Work at the site has come to a halt due to the inspection, so the workers are stuck waiting because they can't move on to the next step.
The site representative said, sounding a little annoyed,
"Don't you feel bad about being an hour late? You could at least have made a phone call!" he reportedly said.
Then, the government official got angry, left without even staying for the inspection, and
I heard that a few hours later, a representative from the government office called to apologize.
I think I was still pretty decent as a person (lol)
Well, that's only to be expected.
It can't be helped if things run late. After all, delays happen for all sorts of reasons.
However, if you're going to be late, you should always give them a quick call—even if it's a government office.
In particular, the site supervisor will keep you informed of every development as it happens.
However, the reverse is almost never the case.
I really think government offices rarely notify people when there are delays.
So that means the government doesn't consider us equals, right? (lol)
Government agencies usually play "rock-paper-scissors" after the fact, but if the situation were reversed, would people get furious, or would it affect their scores?
In reality, there are actually a lot of cases where communication with government officials just isn't happening.
Although this involves work at companies and government offices, it ultimately comes down to people working together to get things done, so,
When there's not much communication between the people in charge, problems tend to pile up, don't they?
A competent government office, even when running late, will say, “We apologize for the delay. We expect to arrive at [time].”
They'll tell you the schedule using numbers, sort of like that.
This gives the person waiting a sense of when things will be done, so they end up thinking, “Well, I guess I’ll go do something else!”
It's not a matter of which one is "above" or "below," but rather,Carry out the construction while respecting each other's perspectivesIn that regard
No matter how challenging the job site is, things always seem to go surprisingly smoothly.
However, there are also government officials and supervisors at general contractors who are unable to do so.
Of course, there are craftsmen, too.
We should set aside those feelings and attitudes and, above all, keep an open mind as we work toward a single goal: carrying out the project on-site.
See you later.
