Your description fits the US as well as Africa. I was a state employee for sixteen years. There are numerous staff (mostly those with substantial tenure) who perform to the minimalist expectations. I recall two who spent a huge portion of their workday reading novels (example 1) and the newspaper/crossword puzzles (example 2). When this performance was brought to the office manager's attention, she in turn raised the concerns with the employees' respective managers. Both managers responded with (they (the employees) get their work done and left it at that). It was obvious to me and others that the performance expectations for these staff is unreasonably low. Both of these employees retired with full pensions.
I do not begrudge pensions. I think more jobs should incorporate them into their business plan. The state jobs typically paid lower (I took a 40% pay reduction when I joined state employment) but the lower salary is offset by the future pension.
IN short, Africa seems to have adopted the colonialist mindset as has the US. The majority of the African and US populations suffer.
