I learn that when MITA making offer is a fix thing no need to negotiate and whatever is the training plan is set at the start of the year will be followed to the last dot.

He found the need to constantly manage expectation of candidates, line manager and dealing with all the daily questions from employees too troublesome. He told me in MITA is straight forward, top down instruction just follow, no room for people to keep negotiating and changing depending on business needs.

So it seems there is a lot of difference between civil service and commercial HR.
that's why I love to join civil service job, just follow the standard SOP...and smooth sailing all the way!!! No need change this change that....

Calm/slow/smooth river flow to describe civil service.
Private sector would be like the stormy pacific ocean.
