The age of desperation

It's coming perilously close to Mary's retirement date and her team are none the wiser as to what, if any, arrangements are being made for their line management after then. Fair do's to Mary: she's got no idea either, but it's pretty unnerving for the troops.

"Don't worry too much about it. You do OK when the whole of Policy Team is on leave at the same time," she tells them.

Which is well-meant but wrong on so many levels...

Policy Team are truly like some unnecessary branch of the Security Services: always making your life more difficult yet not really providing any form of "security".

Inquiring moo!
