These results are appalling. They are not only bottom quartile, using the quartile methods so beloved of the Operations Director, they are bottom quartile of the bottom quartile, worst of the worst.
Some of the NSFT Board and ‘leadership team’ like to blame this campaign for appalling staff morale. This survey was carried out before our campaign even started so their causality and sense of responsibility is all wrong. Their ‘leadership’, ‘radical redesign’, hubris, incompetence and collaboration in massive cuts is responsible.
