GLASGOWOODS Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 ... making it impossible for people to do their job properly, tell everyone the public sector's not working, outsource to different private companies, total chaos ensues So why do the public sector bring in outside consultants to do some jobs they are paid to do?

Mecky Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Workplaces are only as disfunctional as society in which they operate. In the UK that means watching your own back whilst jumping on the heads of others. It's about passing blame onto others when things go wrong and taking credit for other peoples' hard work if something goes right. It's about exploiting others without being exploited yourself.

Obelix Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Figure it out. Translation: "I'm going to look stupid so I'll come back with a response of the same calibre as 'Jog on' " As your logic makes no sense that's tricky. Perhaps you could enlighten us? ---------- Post added 04-10-2013 at 15:01 ---------- Because it makes for more profits for the bosses at the expense of the workforce Except that it doesn't. If you get rid of your most valuable asset and annoy the remainder you will get less profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Maybe I'm just imagining it but it seems that no one is happy at their work; and it also seems that everyone has basically the same gripes - not enough staff, managers/supervisors not being able to do a rota for toffee, managers and supervisors being generally amateurish and not getting their jobs on merit but by brown nosing, etc etc.These are not symptoms of dysfunctionality, just an extraordinarily-broad brushed stereotype of any public/private working environment, with a good dose of job envy laddled on top.

Hairyloon Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Except that it doesn't. If you get rid of your most valuable asset and annoy the remainder you will get less profit. Which is so blindingly obvious that it takes special management training to be able to not see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anywebsite Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Why on earth would that be a capitalists dream? If it was a public sector monopoly place they wanted to run into the ground & then buy below it's true value (or sell to their friend for a bribe). Otherwise it makes no sense.

Zamo Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Do you have to be bitter and twisted or can anyone join in? It's Friday, it's beer o'clock and the pub beckons... a few pints and all will be well with the world again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
