Assembly "set" small meeting! Be wary of seven types of variation and resurgence at the grassroots level, with "red heads" turning into "white heads"
Wenshan Huihai is deeply detested by grassroots cadres. Grassroots cadres in many places have reported that there is a phenomenon of rebound and resurgence in some areas, and the forms of expression are constantly changing, which makes grassroots cadres complain incessantly.
One of the ways is to set up meetings and make up for the quantity with time.
Some places and departments are still accustomed to implementing meetings through meetings, believing that as long as the meeting is arranged, it is equivalent to the work being implemented. When problems arise, the meetings that have been held become a shield. If it is required to control the number of meetings, then make an article on the duration of the meeting - "set up" small meetings in the conference, even unrelated meetings are "tied up" to make up for the reduction in the number of meetings with the extension of meeting time. Some places are enthusiastic about this, and meetings that could have ended in an hour can last for half a day or even longer. "Everyone knows that there are meetings held by superiors, so let's put a few candies in our pockets first." A county party secretary in East China said, "After a few meetings, I understand. It won't even end until dinner.".
Secondly, the "companionship meeting" is not enough, and the main business is unfamiliar.
Gathering the number of people and holding a meeting is just to wait for the meeting to end. Nowadays, the trend of "accompanying meetings" is prevalent in some places to demonstrate the importance attached to superiors. A county mayor in southern China revealed that the meeting took up two-thirds of his working time, and grassroots cadres were submerged in the sea of meetings. According to officials from grassroots departments in multiple regions, as cadres who are not directly involved in meetings and are not related to daily business, they are often required to attend meetings. Even if they are unwilling, they can only idle their business work and gather a small number of attendees. Some grassroots cadres jokingly refer to their work status as "working hours with meetings, working overtime during rest time", and a large amount of work can only be carried out after the meetings are over.

Thirdly, consider the conference as a "treatment" and expand the scope and scale of participation at will.
Many grassroots cadres have revealed that some higher-level unit leaders like to "put on a show", arbitrarily raise meeting standards, expand the scope of attendees, and turn the venue into a "runway" that reflects their power and treatment. Several officials from a certain county in the western region have stated that some meetings, regardless of whether the content is important or not, require township party committees or government officials to attend on site. They believe that the more people come to attend, especially township officials, the more they demonstrate their credibility, face, and vanity. "Some leading cadres have an obsession with the meeting. If the meeting is not held, it seems that my department is not important and there is no sense of existence, so it must be held, regardless of whether the meeting itself is necessary," said a county party secretary in North China.
Fourthly, "sticking one stick to the end" has evolved into "repeating one stick to the end", with the "key few" exhausted from running to the meeting and "trapped" in the meeting room.
A county-level official from a certain county in the western region introduced that video conferencing, which could have greatly improved efficiency, has now mutated. Some video conferences are held layer by layer from top to bottom, and the same content is held layer by layer in cities, counties, and villages, repeating it to the end, resulting in some grassroots cadres having to attend four or five times. The Minister of Organization of a county-level coastal city party committee stated that the current city and county leaders have many meetings every day, and many video conferences have little to do with business, but they also have to attend and are "trapped" in the conference room.
Fifth, change your appearance and use the "cloud" to rebound.
A department level cadre in the north introduced that although the higher-level units have reduced the distribution of paper documents, electronic platforms, app push notifications, and mass WeChat have become new channels for publishing, making people dizzy and exhausted. Township cadres generally have multiple work apps and WeChat official account on their mobile phones, and they need to spend a lot of time every day to complete the task of leaving traces on their apps. Some places have strict requirements for registering, logging in, checking in, and providing feedback on various government apps, which are linked to the assessment of grassroots cadres, resulting in a high level of pressure on everyone.
Sixth, indulging in making changes, the "red head" of documents becomes "white head".
Several grassroots cadres in a central province have reported that some units have fewer "red headed" documents and more "white headed" documents, although they are not numbered, their effectiveness is the same. A municipal party secretary revealed that many documents lack guidance and accuracy, with a large amount of simplified content flooding them. The most important part of the entire article is the final part - serious accountability should be held for any problems, and grassroots officials dare not neglect these "white headed" documents. At the same time, some places have replaced the issuance of documents with internal notices, verbal instructions, telephone notifications, work notes, and other forms, further increasing the arbitrariness of document issuance.
7. Enthusiasm in statistical fraud and the practice of reducing the burden of statistics.
Some grassroots cadres have reported that because classified documents are not included in the statistical scope, some places classify documents with no confidential information as classified documents and issue them, creating a false impression of a decrease in the number of documents issued; In some places, the documents originally issued by the county party committee and government have been changed to be issued by relevant departments, but they are not included in the statistics due to the lack of document numbers. On the surface, the number of meetings or documents may seem to have decreased, but in reality, there is nothing missing, and work always moves on paper.

In recent years, the central government has continued to make efforts in the reduction of refined documents, and the situation of frequent meetings and document issuance has been greatly improved. However, there is still room for improvement in institutional design. The interviewed cadres believe that meeting the sea with mountains of literature is not only a prominent manifestation of formalism and bureaucracy, but also a long-standing problem that troubles the grassroots. The root cause of some places adapting and discounting the governance of Wenshan Huihai is the misplaced view of political achievements.
We need to continuously improve the scientific oriented evaluation system. The interviewed cadres stated that work performance and public satisfaction should be used as the "hard indicators" to evaluate the work of cadres, in order to establish a correct employment orientation that advocates performance and encourages practical work, reduce the burden on grassroots, and enhance practicality. Guide party members and cadres to correct their views on political achievements, prioritize actual achievements over traces, and break the thinking inertia that "meetings are about implementation, and speeches are about valuing".
We need to further strengthen the system of meeting and document management, and clarify the main responsibilities. Several grassroots cadres have expressed that leaders at all levels in various regions should have a clear understanding of the authority and seriousness of meetings, firmly control the quantity and scale of documents and meetings in their work, reduce unnecessary meetings, and not arbitrarily expand meeting specifications without the approval of higher-level leaders. Efforts should be made to improve work efficiency, and feasible measures should be taken to reduce the burden on grassroots, solve specific problems, and respond to grassroots expectations.
