He was in this job for about seven years, and then moved sideways at the same level into another department when he disagreed with someone senior on a matter of principle.<br />Once SES level is reached, and contracts signed, merit and morals go out the window, and influence, power, and favours owned become the currency of choice.<br />It has destroyed the culture of what used to be a frank and fearless public service.1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203110337754630589.post-76432059113555991292010-06-15T10:00:15.430+10:002010-06-15T10:00:15.430+10:00I blame the whizzkids.
You know, those profession...I blame the whizzkids.<br /><br />You know, those professionals who are credentialed but not experienced and think they know everything<br /><br />They are stuffing it up everywhere.<br /><br />In NSW the top Education boss used to be a principal. If principals were dissatisfied with something they'd ring him up - he was well known and respected.<br /><br />The top guy in Education is a convicted drug dealer! Nobody else could get a job anywhere in the organisation with a background like that!<br /><br />Today we have managers who are put there by govts to do their beckoning. In the process the culture of the organsiation gets stuffed.<br /><br />It happens in Health, Police and most govt departments. No experienced people at the top.<br /><br />I saw on TV that some guy from BP wanted to keep production going even tough all advice was of a safety nature to shut down because it was too dangerous.. I wonder if he still has his job or have they given him the golden handshake of a few million to go off and wreak havoc somewhere else.<br /><br />Money talks. The rest of us can only listencavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338928424789193611noreply@blogger.com
