It's not that their incompetent with holidays and diaries, it's just that as such things are the only thing that have any control over, they use their power to make their minions' lives miserable.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Middle managers, sorry, muddle managers aren't there to manage anything; they are there to give you the blame when they fail to manage things.
Learn it, accept it and send an invoice. Oh sorry, forgot you're permie there.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Unsurprisingly I have been with firms that run much more efficiently when they get rid of managers. Management in the UK, managers tend to be turned into administrative assistants rather than real managers."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThanks for linky. Interesting what it says about contractors. I am currently working alongside permies. who are 3 NHS grades lower than I would be if still a permie. The grading of the job is in practice (but not in theory) based on position in the management structure rather than skills required, so if the job needs doing properly it needs a contractor."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is?
