But this is typical of One Barnet ventures: a failure to create a credible business case, and a refusal to address the risks that will be presented by such a cock eyed scheme. And as usual the taxpayer picks up the bill for their incompetence.<br /><br />And as you rightly point out, the treatment of the workforce is simply disgraceful: staff undertaking a very difficult and sensitive role on very poor pay now expected to take a cut in salary and work a seven day week? <br /><br />This is what happens when you attempt to introduce a market economy into an area where it is grossly inappropriate, seeking to make profit out of the needs of our most vulnerable and dependent residents. The whole business is an absolute scandal.Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-51222901048863279072013-03-04T09:34:07.237+00:002013-03-04T09:34:07.237+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-82665773555388883192013-03-03T18:17:50.104+00:002013-03-03T18:17:50.104+00:00when they presented the first "so called"...when they presented the first "so called" business case, i submitted a question to the cabinet meeting if they conducted a business feasibility study to verify their assumption. "nay" they said. "we know the market, there's no need for a study". just to make it more convincingly for the idiots, the authors changed the revenue assumption of first year from break even to a surplus of £56000. it cost us £1 million, + sadistic treatment of the work force (see the rate of absentee of the workers during last year), and even more, the unbelievable stress and agonies the clients and their carers were put under.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650599998897942111noreply@blogger.com
