Diet Crack posted:When the mouthbreathers figure out that Brexit actually won't deliver on anything they wanted, all while simultaneously becoming poorer and worse off - maybe, just MAYBE they'll stop being such subservient idiots. But this is Britain so chances are slim on Bootlicker Isle. I feel like you don't understand how deep "Brexit can't fail, Brexit can only be failed" runs. A sizeable amount of the British public are absolutely convinced with the force of divine truth that if we just did Brexit right, we wouldn't be in this mess, and the way out is through.

Only people that went to the right universities deserve that salary  Sounds more qualified than the people that gave him the job without checking anything.

It's pretty much the opposite of Walter Mitty. All he did was imagine himself out of his drudgery, and don't we all? I know I play my guitar to sellout stadiums in my mind, but in truth my dog slinks out the room when I even reach in its general direction.

It's a shame she did it by knackering so many local communities. She could have used all that North Sea money to do a mass nuclear and geothermal building program involving existing shipyards, steelworks, brickworks, mine engineers etc. and sold it more as building their own lasting monuments than digging their own graves.

Lying about ones competence in order to get a job is illegal? This is very disturbing. 'The court heard he had made "significant progress" at the hospice but had "not actively done any damage" during his time in the roles.' Really trying to avoid saying "yeah, he did a good job despite not belonging to the old boys network we usually recruit from"

sinky posted:Lying about ones competence in order to get a job is illegal? This is very disturbing. What actual book learning do you need to be a chief exec though? It's not like a professional job where you can objectively gently caress up like a doctor giving the wrong meds or an architect making the walls the wrong height. Always seems to me like these positions are more about knowing how to manage people and having enough "common sense" to let institutional inertia and the mass of actually qualified individuals working for you push things through. Skills which some people seem to be born with and don't need to attend hours of management theory sessions to learn.

big scary monsters posted:Either this guy is an incredible mind who can turn his hand to anything, or top exec jobs that we have to pay hundreds of thousands for in order to "attract the best talent" are not actually that hard or important. It's more do you have the gift of the gab and (for NHS Trusts) your local connections to get things done. So say a Trust wants to build a new children's hospice and the local landowner doesn't want to sell. A CEO might be someone who went to school with them and could persuade them to let it go. Or someone who knows how to send a few friends and a horse over to make the fella an offer he can't refuse.

I don't even think it's that. The CEO of an NHS Trust is usually someone who's worked as an NHS professional for years (clinician or manager) and made their way up the ladder. They're not necessarily the same as the CEO of a corporation (no matter how much all govts since Blair have wanted them to be), and they certainly wouldn't financially benefit from being able to influence people on property (and lol that an NHS Trust or hospice could afford to buy land). Having local connections is helpful, but hardly essential to the role. This guy got done because he lied about his qualifications and presumably his references. Would he have got the jobs without lying? Probably not, but even if he did a decent job, the whole point of having those things in place is that it provides some sort of security that you're not just hiring someone who's going to start selling off assets to a company registered in the Caymans. I'd normally say "Hopefully HR at those Trusts have been given some training on how to spot bullshit references", but if their HR is anything like the norm, they've probably gone through at least a hundred staff since.

notaspy posted:Are Mick Lynch, Eddie Dempsey, and the RMT tankies/Putin apologists? Who cares? A trade union isn't deciding our foreign policy. No, really, it's an irrelevant question, a pure distraction to discredit the strongest trade union in this country since probably the end of the 70s. As far as I can tell Lynch is, like many on the left, deeply sceptical of western foreign policy, which is all it actually takes to be called a tankie by liberal interventionists. But it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is this: is he doing the best job he can for his members? And the answer is yes.
