Most mid level managers on ~80K in the public sector believe their private sector counterparts earn 200K + humungeous bonuses, whereas in reality - someone with their skillset (spending money and spending money to justify why they should spend even more money) would be lucky to get any mid/high level job in the private sector, where income generation/preservation skills are far more important.

Quite a few private sector companies here in NL are trying to get rid of 'mid level managers' altogether.

How can they justify £779 a day of public money for a role that is clearly permie?

Basically head of procurement for all adult services e.g. adult care. Fairly senior role given the amount councils spend on adult care.

Mike Boyle has been the interim head of adult commissioning at cash-strapped Southend Council in Essex since 2010.
