This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Yep, sounds fair.
There was an advert for a new chief exec at the local ambulance trust recently, with an advertised salary of "circa £120k (see text)".

I was intrigued to see what the text said - more money was available for an exceptional applicant, apparently.

Given that the Prime Minister earns a bit more than £140K
That would seem a tad excessive.

For £120k,
I'll bet they have to do some serious delegation.

I could have done that, I'm good at delegating.
I seriously considered offering them myself for £40k a year and employing an assistant for another £30k. We'd have muddled through together, we'd both have been earning good money and they'd have saved £50k... what's not to like?
