That’s the most servantful civilian I’ve ever seen! I don’t even do the one job I have
Not mentioned yet - I’m sure it varies, but I always got the impression that government jobs tend to require a lot more background checks. So let’s talk about how they managed to get not one or two but four other jobs and no flags were seen.
They had to have used different national insurance numbers… hmrc doesn’t fuck about.
Would HMRC care, as long as you paid the correct amount of tax?
If one guy can do 5 jobs, yall could prolly trim the fat a lil
It seems like he was given a lot of leeway due to family illness and was off on medical leave for months at a time. Additionally his bosses noted poor preformance. It seems like he took advantage of a system built to give people the benefit of the doubt and of people’s desire to extend empathy. In 99% of cases we would want an employer to be understanding if an employee has extended health issues. It’s unfortunate that this happened, and I’m sure that maybe some fat can be trimmed somewhere, but I don’t know that those are necessarily related facts.
Bruh you have NO idea: simultaneously having an abundance of management but then dozens of hyper-specific departments with 2-3 people who have a 6 year backlog of work.
Office Space wasn’t fictional, it was a documentary.
“What would you say… you do here?”
Most public sector workers outside the emergency services spend the majority of their working week doing fuck all, browsing social media and chatting with their colleagues. It’s why this guy was able to get away with it for so long because he was still hitting his performance targets just doing what the public sector think a week’s work is in the one day it would take someone in the private sector to do it.
I don’t think that it’s fair to be honest. He will have been under regular performance reviews. Clearly he was doing the job to an acceptable level.
It’s not his fault that they gave him so little work for a week that he could do it in a day. TBH I think it says more about the levels of productivity the public sector thinks qualifies as a day’s work.
Very appropriate for a comment talking about other people being lazy to comment without reading the article.
Not just the public sector. The big difference tends to be that the private sector tends to have “managers” to prevent employees from doing anything with the free time they have or should realistically have.
Get that bag
