Can’t be referring to the BTEC…
You know when a government takes over and a little bit later the economy improves because of something the previous government did, but the new one takes the credit? A lot of his successes feel like things that we were already on a path towards…

Something occurred to me the other day, but I didn’t remember to put it here:
Sometimes the person to break things down in order to be rebuilt isn’t the right person to build it back up from the foundation they created. I think he’s done the job he was brought in to do. I also think he could have done it better - comms being a large part of that.
Interestingly, he feels the same.
(I also read that middle part cynically as “no one likes me enough to do me a solid”)

“The longest I have spent in any role”
You mean no one has had to put up with him as long as us? In his entire career? Seriously?

Officers, especially EngOs only do 24-30 months in post.
But took up post in sep 21, retiring in sep 24 after 4 years… Maths isn’t mathing.

He came in during 2020.
At least that’s what his LinkedIn profile (career history) actually says.
So is the career history wrong, or his post?
+Cough+ communications +cough+

Seems to be a very short tour for a force commander.
I just updated the thread title, for accuracy purposes

Definitely not enough capslock.
Guess my change didn’t have enough flair for you.
You just wanted an excuse to write (and use) “interrobangs”.

With the exception of the Twitter Queen I can’t think of anyone else in recent memory to do a full 4 year tour.
I think Bob is referencing the fact that he only spent a year as A4 Force Commander, immediately prior to CRAFAC
I don’t need an excuse to use an interrobang.
I think the edit sends a nice subversive message, that we’re generally sick of the comms in this org.

I mean this should 
have gone out on internal comms platforms last week, but in any organisation of our size it’s never easy to coordinate the release of this kinda news with out someone getting upset. Either people are annoyed because it wasn’t released on all platforms at once, or they’re annoyed because they didn’t have advance warning of the news.
Assuming the influence team knew about this last week, they might well have decided to not release on official channels before Easter because doing so would inevitably create a requirement to monitor and moderate the responses on those channels over the long weekend.
I’d be very surprised if the influence team don’t issue internal comms on this across multiple channels as soon as they’re back from Easter leave tomorrow.
Strong agree, on both counts.

If any of that careful thought took place, then the CAC should have just waited a day before announcing it on LinkedIn.
Which is why I doubt any of that thinking did take place.
