theres a lot of #######4 in this life. i dont know why people believe it they must be more stupid than me.we spend stupid amounts of money on military hardware that is less and less needed yet we cut and cut spending on hospitals.the people in charge,the government never take a pay cut to help,they make sure that they are ok and they have some good waffle to answer the questions with.hospital services are contracted out to companies who then cut corners to sneak a bit more cash out of the nhs. we all know these services are poor to say the least but we just accept it.if they are questioned the corperate companies always have a #######4 to shirt round the questions and if they get caught out they have a few middle managers they can blame and sack. when it gets towards the end of the contract and someone else is going to get it then they spend the least possible,what have they to loose.its the same in a lot of vital services, the idea of first off giving a good service turns out to be waffle, its how cheap can we run it now we have the contract regardless of what we promised and how can we justify it.my gum clinic is going to be put to contract to virgin,so i guess it will become absolute minimum attendances and cost cutting. theres nothing wrong with making things run better but if its done by just not doing things then thats criminal. the people making the decisions arnt in the same position as the people who rely on the services its a them and us situation.
i worked in a government contract and after the first year all the dick head young middle managers started trying to save money. we were supposed to be a non profit service provider with a level of service pre agreed and paid for but they wanted to look good for their cv`s so started to save money that the company pocketed and didnt spend improving the service.by the time i left it was a joke. it was just a lie and cheat but make sure you cant be blamed. i was refusing to put my name to things as id worked out we were being set up as fall guys if it went pear shaped.of course then your not a team player. team player means do as your told and dont argue.i didnt and hated the managers and they knew i was wise to them. i hated my depot manager with a vengeance,he was a vindictive nasty man and a useless manager. if he was clinging on to a cliff id stamp on his hands and smile as he fell then spit on his dead body.
