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 PostHim, or us?
