Hypocricy in Profession

A week a go my friend called for a chat. We finally met in a mosque. Unlike before, he came with a very serious face and his usual smile almost totally lost.
"What's up man?"

"I never understand people can stay away from his psychological situation where faith has become part of his job."
"What do you mean? "
"How can a religious man, a pious man in a mosque, graduate from an Islamic university, considered as ustaz, but when he works, as if no value is needed to achieve his goals. He will do anything at all cost, including cheating and decieving."
"Well... normally this people has specific goal in his work, especially position. If his performance is not good he will create image as if it is as good as expected. Or, he will claim other people's work."
"Do you think an ustaz can do that?"
"Well... ustaz is also human being. They eat and drink like us, so they may have similar passion"
"....."
(He falls silent  and speechless)

After Two and Half Years

It has been 30 months after the execution of big choice. The choice itself is already taken 360 days before the execution, during which all of us, who are in the secondment program, suffer most from being "outsider" mistreatment. No out-of-office assignment, no structural position, no invitation for gathering. We are like "Sudra-class people" after marking "return to old institution" choice, which will be implemented one year afterwards. 350 people out of one thousand seconded employees chose to go back to their initial employer and do not want to be lured by temptation of promises, like promotion and salary increase.
