Sloppy Work (24/01/15)
One of the shocking things about the formerly 'secret' North Lanarkshire Council Corporate Management Team report is that some people on really fancy salaries seem unable to punctuate their sentences properly.
Here are a few examples to illustrate what I mean:
Paragraph 2.3
"....., the Corporate Management Team at it's meeting on 24 May 2005 agreed that the preferred pay model for North Lanarkshire Council would be NLC5C."
Paragraph 2.5
"An option of five year's cash conservation for 'red circles' has been included in the costings."
Paragraph 2.8
"In the opinion of the Corporate Management Team at it's last discussion, pay model NLC5C was more attractive.............."
And that's only in the first two pages!
But what does it say about senior officials who are paid salaries worth tens of thousands of pounds a year when they don't even know how to use an apostrophe.
The reference on the report, by the way, is 'IW/LD" so I'm assuming that Iris Wylie, who is now the council's head of human resources, signed the document off.
How embarrassing.
