You need to see through the obfuscation of one blaming the other in all these things. They rely on Joe Public believing them...and not looking into the details. ETA: Numerous LA'S need to merge and downsize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 There is another thread about 'Rates Reform', if we had 4 + 1 LAs, would they have more power to resist these Govt transfers? Would the other 4 have said, ' NO ', don't spend 30mil quid on Dlas prom? Perhaps why reform is rather slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I abhor waste and incompetence...and being made to pay more and more towards it each and every year...and daft people that collectively can't be arsed to change things.

I do disagree with the transfer of traditional Central Govt costs onto LAs. Particularly when taxpayers are still paying Central Govt as well.

Rushen Spy Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 No, they don't matter, but unfortunately people who *think* qualifications matter call the shots and have pushed these minimum requirements both in government and the private sector. With large institutions it's all got to be done in a uniform way so although corruption is rife everywhere (government and private sector) they still have to tick these boxes with no room for much logical discretion.

PmJ Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 2 hours ago, Supamanx said: I left school at 14, worked in an accountants office until I got bored and joined the RAF at 19, I served 22 years and reached a high level as a senior nco, when I retired and returned to the Island there was a job advertised in the tourist board, the post required 4 ‘o’ levels, despite my service history and being Manx born I wasn’t considered as I only had 2 O levels ! The rank I attained required more than any O levels but the rules said 4 O levels. My wife was employed as a temp with the government for over two years. When a job came vacant that she had been doing for over two years came up, she was ignored because she didn’t have the “required 4 O levels”. Remember, it’s not what you know but who you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
