Didn’t know which Forum to put this in, there isn’t one for employment/jobs or similar, so I put it in Other Tech talk.?
There’s a project in the wind for child protection whereby all the relevant agencies achieve IT inter-connectivity and transparency. Basically for them all to co-ordinate with each other timely and effectively. Obviously it’s Government run.
My son was in the running for a job as a Project Manager/Scrum Master. He’s no longer in the running, despite howls of disbelief from the Agency and first level client, because he worked for ( in actual fact to, because he was Agency staff, ) the BBC. Apparently if you’ve worked for or associated with, the BBC, the Government doesn’t like you!!
This is hugely ironic because when he started work with the BBC, to bring a project that was overspent, over-staffed and way, way behind, back on target, he was taken to one side and told not to rock too many boats, because if a BBC employee was disciplined/sacked or whatever, there could be a complete walk-out. This frustrated the hell out of him, as did some of the staff whose idea of doing something meant going away for 4 or 5 days to take a home study course and come back to execute the function. He was so frustrated throughout his time there, he was glad to be gone.
It’s amazing that has come back to haunt him in this fashion.
