A friend works for a company whose only customer is the NHS.
I've never really dealt with major corporations, especially the NHS. Infact, I know I would get the sack within minutes because of my lack of ability to be PC and not swear. (I'm not rab c nesbitt, but theres nothing wrong with saying cunt a few times in a meeting)

I digress. His old manager was inept. Totally and uterlly, less qualified than him, and thought nothing of signing off PO's for 4k for a print job, that once he left I introduced my friend to a new print company I'd used for years and got the exact same job done for 300 quid.

His new boss is quite happy to spend (her imagined cost) 27k on a new website. They are an internet data company. They need nothing more than a simple site with blog feeds, twitter feeds and to post some pretty pictures once in a while.

The list is endless. The woman (part time) been there decades, is on about 10k more than my mate, chooses what she fancies doing if she doesn't 'fancy it' wont do it. But then will need hand holding through any task anyway.

This is a company with a billion pound turn over providing 'stuff' (purposely vague) to tax funded NHS, yet cant replace a broken office window.
