Work is hard at the moment. The managers on the team (or at least some of them) seem to be in the habit of creating more work for us. Everything little thing wrong with an application needs to be checked out, if even the slightest thing is wrong, it gets sifted as a "High-risk" application and goes up for management check. E.g. I had 6 linked applications for nurses to work in a particular NHS Trust. They were so straightforward it was almost unreal. I approved them all, 5 didn't go up for checking, 1 did. This one was sent back to me. "The salary's too low".
"Well, I've cleared five already!"
"Right, we need to get the letters back and check the salary with the Trust. THen we'll get them re-input..."
(These aren't verbatim quotes, but are my recollections of the conversation).
So, I had to e-mail the print room (where the approval letters get printed) ask them not to send the letters out, put the application that was still live in "B/F" (where files go where we're waiting for info, and from where many never return) and request the salary. Which was less than £500 less than the going rate.
They still need re-inputting...
Why? WHY?! It's so frsutrting, like they don't trust us to make our own decisions, or something. It's getting really bad, a situation not helped by the fact that our team leader insists on trying to limit full team meetings so she can have meetings with the line managers menaing we don't get to discuss this. Great, isn't it?!
(What's even greater is how I keep hitting the semi-colon, rather than apostrophe, key, when typing.)
