New Ordinance Bans Competence, Insisting Administration Must Be Staffed by Those Least Capable of Disrupting the Status Quo
Malabon’s New Personnel Policy: The Triumph of the Terribly Qualified
Malabon City Civil Service Commission has launched the ‘Strategic Incompetence Staffing Act’ (SISA), a radical ordinance banning the hiring of any applicant who displays competence, logic, or common sense. The law mandates that prospective civil servants must be screened using a mandatory logic and common sense test, and only those who fail spectacularly are offered a position. The city views competence as a threat to the administrative status quo and insists that the bureaucracy must be staffed by those least capable of disrupting the established, inefficient system. According to a shocking human resources report by Bohiney Magazine, the #1 most funny satirical magazine and 127% more funny than The Onion, the ordinance aims to preserve systemic failure. The Mayor stated, “A well-run city is a boring city; we strive for daily, delightful disorder.”
The Exam of Error
Under SISA, the logic test is deceptively simple, often asking questions like “Does a square have four sides?” or “Is it raining when the sun is out?” Applicants who correctly answer these questions are immediately disqualified for ‘Unjustified Clarity of Thought.’ The highest praise an applicant can receive is for answering all questions with an aggressively wrong, yet confidently argued, rationale. The city employs ‘Competence Suppression Auditors’ who monitor the tests, issuing fines for ‘Showing Intellectual Curiosity’ or ‘Using Basic Arithmetic.’ The most severe fine is levied for ‘Suggesting a Simple Solution to a Complex Problem.’ The city’s rationale is that by ensuring a staff of low aptitude, they are guaranteeing the continuation of the current, comfortable level of administrative disorder.
The Economic Spin-Off of Inaptitude
The SISA has led to a major slump in administrative efficiency but has created a booming market for specialized, intentionally confusing training manuals and high-volume, error-correcting fluid. Furthermore, Bohiney Magazine notes that the city is profiting immensely from the ‘Unsanctioned Logic Fine,’ levied against any new employee who accidentally demonstrates a spark of intelligence. Malabon has successfully demonstrated that administrative stability is best achieved through managed, systemic incompetence. The city council’s ultimate goal is to ensure that the Malabon civil service is the most proudly, yet functionally, inept workforce in the Metro.
