When IT was outsourced to Fujitsu, large numbers of HMRC IT staff were transferred to that company. They immediately received massive pay rises for carrying on doing exactly the same work they were doing before, with the expense being billed to HMRC! Now civil servants are on a pay freeze and these numpties want more money?
ReplyDeleteFudgeITsu Bosses got nice fat bonuses for meeting or exceeding targets. WTF, by that did they screw more money out of HMRC or more likely targets were set low enough so that they couldnt possibly fail to meet them.
