Whilst councils are cutting services they are still recruiting more and more managers.

This one for a "Performance Improvement manager" is absolutely typical. In fact I would be ashamed to advertise it. Anybody who has worked in services in the private sector learned a long time ago that you cannot use a 'manager' like this to improve. It is a total cop-out. You have idle and incompetent line managers who have no idea whatsoever how to 'improve' and even less enthusiasm to do anything different from yesterday.

Yes, to some extent, higher managers should train, cojole, and motivate the line managers to 'change' but with a short rope. If they don't react, get rid of them. The actual worse thing you can do is leave the line managers in place and install some "Performance Improvement Manager" to try to 'go in' and do the improvements. That simply doesn't work!

Irritating in the extreme to see this massive waste and incompetence - probably at the cost of 12 proper care assistants....
