Follow these simple rules to be a good bureaucrat and enjoy countless benefits for you, your friends and family.

-. If your subordinates suggest or request a delay, or if you are forced by your supervisor to set a deadline, always request that it be extended
- When your staff give you a proposal officially presented shamelessly nit-pick and criticism. Everything is fair game: the color of the background, font style and size. Twelve key points? No, it can not be five. Cut in Sept. We must reflect Pancasila after all.
- Showboat depreciate your subordinates and your limited knowledge of the subject at hand. Be more concerned with the quality of gorengan snack or what time lunch will be served at the end of the presentation.
- When one of your subordinate comes and privately gives you a very good suggestion, immediately call a meeting of all of your staff and to present this great idea as your own, tell a story about how the idea came to you suddenly in a dream or while you have your morning mandi .
- Do not communicate. Not even close with your subordinates, more reliable. Keep everyone in the dark. Keep them guessing. Enjoy the freedom.

- travel as much as possible. In fact, traveling more than possible.
- Do not publish your travel plans, or even share them with your subordinates. The less they know best for their own protection, of course. You never want to put them in a position where they would have to lie.
