MrNemo posted:The basic reason public departments (but also somewhat large corporates too) are semi-staffed by contractors costing 3x as much is simply down to how budgeting works for these orgs and laziness on the part of managers. Permanent staff require pensions, expected longer term costs as well as all the relevant job protections and thus senior management require a fair amount of justification for why they need to increase headcount. The basic 'perfect sphere in a vacuum' reasoning is many tasks in these orgs are project based and require somewhat specialised knowledge/experience, therefore you want permanent staff to do continual tasks but contractors to work projects - thereby achieving the ideal balance of minimising costs to hire and get rid of staff you need for specific stuff and minimising running costs of staff to do the actual work. It also makes sense for specific projects because your regular staff have day jobs and, from my experience, it is a lot easier to get budget to hire a consulting team who are 100% focused on a change project than overloading existing staff. I'll allow this needs to be managed well or you end up with a bunch of consultants coming in, setting up some fancy new system/tools and then disappearing without anyone really noticing and then a year later you have to explain why this new fancy system isn't being used by anyone. That is a failure of the consulting team and the client's management though rather than necessarily some vampiric conspiracy run by McKinsey (further caveat that if this is happening consistently enough there might not be a functional difference) A a consultant I think this is fairly accurate, though a lot of contracts we bid on are scored on both quality and price, usually 30-50% quality versus 70-50% price, depending on how much budget the client has. This is in environment/infrastructure consultancy though so we are expected to actually do work and deliver something tangible.

Wachter posted:Just want to chime in on conferencechat and say that business awards are basically the same scam: you're a CEO and you have a mate who sits on the board of an award body. Your company gets recognised for some spurious achievement (preferably something unquantifiable where you don't need to or can't show your working, like "Most Influential Female CEO") , your company pays an attendance fee, your execs get a nice expenses paid champagne dinner, you get to put a little jpeg in your company's email signature, everybody's happy. Chances are that mate is also consulting for you, or works for a company that coincidentally wins a procurement contract with your company. I think it was Dave Gorman who did an episode on awards - 'voted best in class for cat food flavour duck & osprey' (awarded to only firm doing duck & osprey flavoured cat food). (NB I made that example up it isn't one Gorman did but I can't remember specifics). Essentially they make such narrow categories that only 1 or 2 firms satisfy that just about any product can win a 'voted best' award.

If you believe that Starmer is in place to permanently wreck the Labour Party, then it logically follows that he's not acting like the leader of the opposition because before Labour, under a Tory government the LOTO would have been a Liberal.

Hard tacos are naturally flawed because it's impossible to stop it from cracking as soon as you bite into it.

Trying to divvie up £37bn (or even £27bn) as if that has been spent on trace is not really right. It is allocated funding covering a two year period. The vast majority is allocated towards testing and only a small amount has actually been spent. thanks for this, please keep posting

Abstaining on a bill that legalises rape, torture, and murder by undercover police, and then responding to a Special Branch officer killing a woman by calling for the government to hire more police. Incredible politicking. Absolutely incredible.

I really like fajitas, except the only flavour sachets the local shops sell are those bbq flavour abominations, plus they're a right faff to cook and you can't get good salsa in the UK.

You eat hard tacos over a bowl of rice which you then eat along with all the tacos bits that fell in it. (for maximum flavour cook the rice with a cube of veg stock and add a tiny bit of lime juice)
