Goat Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Just under £2m of top line crap this week alone, exc bonuses, pensions and expenses. What interests me is the quality of the applicants for the jobs. My picture of the applicants is over-promoted social workers of limited intellect who would struggle to hold down a job in the real world. Probably worth about £30,000 tops for most of them. Am I being unfair or is a "director of policy and liason" really worth £78,000 P/A? I can't even imagine what this job could entail and judging from the description neither does the employer.

You would get plenty of quality applicants for 30k. I also wonder what the hiring criteria are - does it include being known to those who make the decisions?

BuyingBear Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) What interests me is the quality of the applicants for the jobs. My picture of the applicants is over-promoted social workers of limited intellect who would struggle to hold down a job in the real world. Probably worth about £30,000 tops for most of them. That's about spot on, there was one on TV a couple of weeks back talking about some momentus £80m public arts folly they've built (typical Will Alsop telly tubby box), the whole building of this 'thing' was deemed as her own personal sucess, in fact the whole gist of the package was more about her than 'it'. Apparently way back when she told her school teacher that she'd like to work in an embassy when she grew up and the teacher retorted "what are you going to do, scrub the steps?", this had a lasting impression on her but everything is ok now because she has a well paid public job and drives a new MINI Cooper. Much like an Estate Agent made good, in fact the border line between a parasitic EA and pointless public job seems very thin, both contribute little and involve copious amounts of lying and self-delusion.
