HR professionals, slowly waking up to the New Year and new coffee, have noted some interesting emerging government employment policies in Dominic Cummings' recruitment blog, on hours of work, age discrimination and on termination of contract.
"One of you will be a sort of personal assistant to me for a year — this will involve a mix of very interesting work and lots of uninteresting trivia that makes my life easier which you won’t enjoy. You will not have weekday date nights, you will sacrifice many weekends — frankly it will hard having a boy/girlfriend at all. It will be exhausting but interesting and if you cut it you will be involved in things at the age of ~21 that most people never see.
"I don’t want confident public school bluffers. I want people who are much brighter than me who can work in an extreme environment. If you play office politics, you will be discovered and immediately binned."
For other roles....
"I’ll have to spend time helping you so don’t apply unless you can commit to at least 2 years.
"I’ll bin you within weeks if you don’t fit — don’t complain later because I made it clear now."
