Pissed Off

Dear Ming (Executive Head)

After our discussion yesterday, I conclude the following:

1 there is to be no Sustainability Officer (ie Andy Pandy’s post) as it was unfunded. Therefore there will be no walking/cycling/sustainable transport promotion/monitoring except 4 and 5 below

2 Concessionary Fares (1/2 post) is going upstairs to Looby Loo;

3 School Travel Plans are funded for a further 12 months (1/2 post) but there is no one in our employ to do it further once Big Ears leaves (although he may be willing to stay)

4 Bikeability Cycle training goes to Looby Loo as it is self funding (we are interviewing the instructors tomorrow, Thursday)

5 The Cycle Scheme (currently operated by Little Weed (temp) is going to Looby Loo? It will need a handover to someone

6 Captain Scarlet is underpaid (if he can do a presentation to the Directors of Evil, he doesn’t need to be paid so little)

7 Captain Black will not be back until April earliest

8 You agree that our main contribution to Local Transport Plan 3 currently is lending Captain Blue to The Evil Empire in lieu of cash

9 We are losing 3 admin staff in March, all of whom have detailed professional/technical knowledge and skills which I and Larry the Lamb employ. See 10.

10 You expect me to negotiate with The Flower Pot Man for replacement Admin staff who may well be required to have technical ability see 9 above.

11 I am not paid as a manager but I am expected to bear management responsibility

12 I do not have a manager, as this post has been deleted



I am sorely tempted to be very bitter about all of the above. Your support and advice would be welcome

Regards

Lord Hutton

Good. About time too. Keeping your head down is only effective on rare occasions.

Kicking arse works!
