I work in the NHS (despeartely trying to leave) and have had a decent boss replaced by a power mad egomaniac. Our old boss left (without a job to go to) because he was too decent a bloke to put up with our crap management any longer. One member of our team saw his opportunity and started sucking up to the head of dept. while the rest of us where doing our job. Before you know it he is "acting " manager and inevitabely got the position when applied for.
He is now making decisions he hasn't got authority to make and generally mucking about anybody who stands up to him, such as refusing to sign mileage claim forms for silly reasons. We used to be an effective and happy team but have had morale sapped to a minimum. He is protected in his decisions by his boss who basically doesn't care what goes on as long as his afternoon sleep isn't disturbed. By the way they also engage with each other socially, which is very strange as there is a thirty year age gap and they are both male!
This is just to let you taxpayers know what you are paying for, I don't know how much work they do as most of their time is spent with personal politics but I'd be surprised if their combined salary is less than £100, 000.
Yes I do have a grudge and yes I detest these individuals as people, but it doesn't make it less true.
