how the HSE (doesn't) works

Another day anothe rshit load of grief i know im venting, but the job of a nurse in modern ireland is a whole crock of shit. Maybe the new boy in the big house will do something for the better.

The problem though is that our minister for health mary harney hasn't a clue how to listen to real people. She only listens to people far removed from the front line her advisers are saying to her yes yes everythingin the garden is rosy, and it isnt. And these same people are saying to everyone below them "make everything in the garden rosy" and the people below are saying yes yes everything in the garden is rosy and saying to the people below them:
"make everything in the garden rosy" and the people below are saying yes yes everything in the garden is rosy and saying to the people below them:
"make everything in the garden rosy" and the people below are saying yes yes everything in the garden is rosy and saying to the people below them:
"make everything in the garden rosy" and the people below are saying yes yes everything in the garden is rosy and saying to the people below them:

until...

wait a fucking minute there is no-one below us. Things in the garden ain't rosy and it bounces back up the line, however because it conflicts with the everything in the garden is rosy mantra it gets drowned out in the sound of smiling nodding heads, each layer filtering out more and more of the truth. until the everything is rosy lie reaches Ms. H. If you believe something and say it loud enough and long enough with enough conviction then some of the people who don't know any better will begin to believe it, but that doesn't make it right.

Management mind it easier to bully the people below them to conform to a set of sub standard standards, than to stand up for the people below them and tell those above that things ain't rosy.

And show some guts and they'll make your life hell. By the way i work in the ID sector, and although i imagine there are worse managed places in Ireland, not by much.
