I remember when I worked for social services the new head of spent 50K on theirs!
Would be intrigued to see exactly what kind of office 300k would buy though!the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

Him, or us?Originally posted by andi&di View Post
Having worked for a QUANGO, which I left 2 years ago [doesn't time fly!!!], and seeing the amounts of money that is wasted, I'm not in the least surprised. Just very saddened that anyone can justify spending that amount on an office.
My colleagues [other managers] balked when I cut my meeting costs [monthly team meetings for work from home staff across the region, and no parking at the regional office], from £500 per meeting when I took over the manager's job - to £50 by using meeting rooms at the McDonalds Service Stations around the region. Not bad for 10-12 people.

Good for you!!What used to get me when I worked for a care firm was that if the managers had training days it would always include a three course lunch at the local rather pricey restaurant/pub.We were lucky if we got sarnies supplied to eat in the dingy training room!!Originally posted by zazen999 View Post
