Is there anything to be said for another manager?
How deep does it go? How many layers of managers do we get until we reach someone doing actual work?
The manager infinity loop
I see the union has already announced industrial action and will not stop until everyone in Ireland is a manager in the HSE
meet the rise in karens
But now the HSE needs a manager to manage the manager who manages the managers managing management /s
Too many chiefs and not enough indians, I suppose someone will say that phrase is racist but hey ho
Maybe they need more management consultants or consulting managers or my favourite is self managing teams. They all have worked so well in my industry.
They need to urgently hire a team of consultants from one of the Big 4 firms for an open ended engagement, billing by the hour, to tell them how to manage with so few Managers.
Whatever the cost its worth it.
Full review, map out everything that needs to be done.
Hire clinicians fornall the clinical stuff, ban clinicians from doing anything administrative. Anyone managing staff is a manager, anyone doing administrative stuff is an administrator.
Eliminate word job titles. Have one common scale for all non clinical staff, adm1-9 mgr 1-9, based on a common agreed matrix of skills and responsibilities.
That’s about 20,000 managers to 80,000 staff. Outrageous
Working hard to do nothing or produce nothing at your expense.
It’s curious to not even allow recruitment of replacements. It is a tacit admission they are surplus to requirements. My personal experience within the HSE is that whilst some are ill suited to their position, none are surplus or nothing at all. The HSE constantly go on about having senior clinical decision makers on site to improve patient flow, yet here they are saying we won’t replace senior non clinical decision makers as if this will have no effect on how a hospital runs. It will inevitably delay decision making and result in more inefficiency.
