What the hell do they want *them* for?
ReplyDeleteWe're already over-run with smartarses brought in not to actually do the job of a tax-administering organisation, but to 'manage'. And not to manage people either, but to manage 'processes'.
HMRC is already top heavy with Bands O, HO and SO and Grades 7 and 6 who know absolutely nothing about taxes, but everything about the latest MBA bollocks.
Meanwhile, we are trying to do our jobs with fewer and fewer people to do them and more and more oppressive conditions being attached - unless you've got kids, for example, it is now practically impossible for anyone in 'Customer Operations' to take even a day's leave in July and August.
Just what we need: *more* bloody chiefs...
Err, but this is a programme to train people in tax, not management.
DeleteWhy don't you apply?

There are hundreds of people in the department of appropriate grade - people who, as I said, don't at present seem to have any job which remotely involves taxation - who could be trained to fill these positions rather than pull in yet more people on no-doubt 'competitive salaries'.
DeleteFair point. I too worry about the apparent rise of "strategy" people. Some of them don't seem to be able to explain what they do in two sentences or less - that worries me.
DeleteThey'd still need to recruit externally for tax-technical trainees, though. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the demographic timebomb is exploding. There seem to be two retirements of experienced case-workers a week in my office.
