Back in July it was announced that the public sector organisation I work at was to be abolished. It was created less than two years ago, but its short life coincided with a period when the parent department was conducting a review of all its bodies, with a view to making some cost savings. Where is the efficiency, not to say competence, in spending millions to create an organisation and then abolishing it? So much for joined-up, coherent government.
From a personal point of view, the biggest fear now is of redundancy. When an organisation is abolished- along with many others- redundancies are inevitable. There may well be opportunities when the functions are transferred to other bodies, but the competition for them will be intense. Then there’s no guarantee that these will be based in Birmingham or within commuting distance. The wisest course is to keep my options open.
