No, not me this time, but this piece of work in Southern Health.

The ineptitude, lack of accountability, self preservation, and utter contempt for the public appears to know no bounds.
I can't see either Percy or the Chairman surviving this if there is a decent investigation into the actions of the Board.
Giving untendered contracts to mates' companies is bad enough, but resigning into a new job at the same pay without the same responsibility or even advertising it for others to apply smacks of the very worst of corporate governance.
This stuff makes my piss boil - am I missing something here or is it as bad as it appears? |

On the face of it, it ranges from questionable and unadvised, through cronyism, to fraudulent. I'm sure you could make a case for each and all of them.

I'm sure it goes on everywhere. Public or private, family businesses can be quite bad. With people only employed because they share a surname.
As to the original post, gross stupidity, what did they think the reaction was going to be?

Difference is, I don't care what a private business does in terms of recruiting family members - people trying to turn publicly funded services in to family/crony domains is an entirely different matter.

I think it's a human nature thing, who ever is paying the bills. I don't think you'll ever stamp it out.

A private family owned company can do what it wants in terms of employment of staff. Many such companies employ family members with health, education or social skill issues which in the big bad world would mean they are almost on the streets. It is a kind of charity. But using public money for similar purposes is totally unethical and this situation will not last long; they will all be gone within the week.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37588815And then the fish's head goes. Bit sad she gets a year's salary for a non-job no-one else was interviewed for and which suddenly came into existence after she resigned as CE.
