There are no vacancies and haven’t ever been. They had hired private computer operators. Three were on contract basis. What they had said was that if an operator was overburdened, then he would be told to get another person – a brother or relative, anyone who could do the work – on board to help out and the department would pay for them. No, there was no training given to us.

Operators are hired on the basis of personal familiarity. If someone knows an individual personally, that person can be hired.
