They happen in private companies as well. I saw it many times working for a major U.K. employer. The problem seemed to be that every new manager had to change things around, not because they needed changing, but to show he was actually doing something. So I don't see that Lord Sainsbury is in any position to throw stones.microdavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-24138999457711026082009-07-18T17:56:36.701+01:002009-07-18T17:56:36.701+01:00"'It’s an absurdity that a minister who’s..."'It’s an absurdity that a minister who’s been in the department for three months is held responsible if the department loses all the high-security files. He’s probably never run any big organisation,' he says."<br /><br />And therein lies the problem.

Army pay isn't that great and many rely on their pension as a backup in later life.<br /><br />All part of keeping the military in their place of course.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-42885069368464542142009-07-18T14:46:11.552+01:002009-07-18T14:46:11.552+01:00Because now, he's got nothing to lose, and eve...Because now, he's got nothing to lose, and everything to win...JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.com
