Pointless jobs

Inclusion and Diversity Manager's, made up jobs to satisfy the woke generation.

Those Counsellors on the "Helping Hands" adverts (£350 a month btw), doing a remote session to tell a lily-livered bloke "you've done a good job today give yourself some credit". Absolute made up jobs to massage the ego of the feeble.

Is Viz, still a thing? If so I'm imagining a strip called "Hammo The Alternative Therapist" ;-)

People who 'work' in I.T.

Button pushing slacker cunts who couldn't do a proper manual job if their life depended on it. All the social skills of Fred West at a prostitutes convention. What did you do today? Oh, I made a little icon that sits on the screen that nobody will see using something that's far to complicated to explain.

Cunts.

Even worse if you work for a large company.
I remember I had a problem with my laptop when working from home.
I went to the office to see IT to fix it.

Have you raised a ticket?
Nope
You need to phone the IT help desk (in india) to raise a ticket then we will look at it for you.
You're standing 3 feet away from me and my laptop is in my hand.
Yeah but you need to raise a ticket first.

Knew the loonies would be out after I posted that, all the usual suspects will be on it, you've got your opinion I have mine. I have no doubt some counsellors such as Bereavement ones play an important part but those on the TV adverts, give me a break.

As for the Diversity and Inclusion shit, what would happen if they weren't there? Workers actually getting jobs, being rewarded for their work because they deserved it regardless of ethnicity or sexuality, now be a good boy and return to your woke utopia.

Mate, some of the jobs in the NHS would make your head spin. I know the Lefties think it needs more and more money, but my life the waste in management jobs that aren't needed is eye watering. Don't even start me on doctors contracts - the general public have no idea.

However, the upper levels of management and numbers of people involved in diversity, inclusion and the numbers with 'operational director/manager' in their job titles.

I once worked for a guy who did nothing but buy in plastic syringes, store them in a warehouse in Broadheath, collate them and flog them to the NHS, he did very nicely thank you. I think he told me that the NHS employed more people than the Chinese army and when it is spending someone elses money, yours and mine, it is a licence to pring money if you're on the supply list. I would imagine the MOD is similar.
 
Consultants. We all know that the word 'consultant' is just the long form of "See You Next Tuesday".

Especially the young whipper snappers who attempt to consult on stuff they know nothing about, have no experience of the thing they're supposed to be an expert in, and then expect to be paid stupid money for the privilege.

Oh and influencers - who's only skill is to whip the influencible into a frenzy over jack shit!

And for those who said IT. Which is my line of business. You really have no f**king idea what it takes to keep the country's lights on (and I'm not talking lightbulb management here). The little 'internet is down' incident from a Friday a few weeks ago should have told you that!
 
IT workers aren't usually the problem, it's all of the systems put in place by upper management, often under the guise of security, but actually mainly to measure performance. That's how you end up with situations like I had, where the IT guy in your own office doesn't have permission to install a printer until you first go through some bullshit ticketing system. Because of course, we couldn't have anyone just actually do their job without having some measurement of it happening.

I work in procurement (private) and my wife works for the NHS - the stories she's told me about their "Procurement process" and money wasted give me sleepless night.
