White smoke has been seen coming out of the chimney at ESCC HQ quarters Q to indicate a new chief executive has been annointed.
The person deemed suitable for the position of head of ESCC clusterfuck is ta da !! Becky Shaw.
Thats right Becky Shaw has been chosen because of her outstanding performance in leading bollocky change in a multi discipline diverse public service environment. More likely she has been selected because a) she is a woman or b)common purpose graduate.Neither of these things should have any relevance for a job as head honcho of a crappy County council but sadly it does.
There is no mention of competence or suitability for the job and Ms Shaw seems pretty smug with herself having climbed the slippery career pole from Director of Policy and Communications to Chief executive.
Can you imagine a large Private sector employer promoting the twat with the stupid glasses that updates the firms adverts and web site to a position of Chief executive in some sort of dodgy backroom deal that communist China would be proud of.
It looks like someone else being promoted beyond their capability and being bunged over £100 grand a year.The justification will be "we have to pay the best money to get the best person".All I can say is if shes the best the other candidates must have been pretty useless.
I have it on good authority that Ms Shaws old job is going to be filled by Mrs Chlamydia O Reilly the toilet cleaner at County Hall because she is an expert in shite and is therefore the best person for the job.
The obvious question is why do we need a chief executive for a County Council and why do we need to pay patently unsuitable people loads of wonga to do it.
Sorry my mistake Ms Shaw was on over £100 grand in her old job as communications bullshitter so you can bet she is on over £150 grand as CE.
ReplyDeleteTo put that in perspective the Prime Minister of the UK only gets a basic of £160 grand and he has the responsibilty of fucking up the whole country.Ms Shaws remit only extends to fucking up only a small part of the UK yet pockets nearly as much.
