Hair Pulling
We hear from our social work friend over at Chidren and families that Frank the Chancer Phelen is moping the sweat from his brow as he tries to find the whistle blower who is outing what is going on at the secure unit Howdenhall. As he tries to undermine the staff to try and cover his own blunders his own position must be looked at too.
We have informed Unison of Phelen’s attempt to refuse the staff union representation,we where told-let him try,we know all about Phelen. Once again the city could be in trouble. They cobbled up an excuse to give to the papers but the information coming from these units tells a different story. Demoralised staff ,threats of action against staff who dare speak out,and constant spying on staff activities allows Phelen to play the good guy,while the staff suffer.
This is unfortunatly all to familar a story within the City of Edinburgh,where managers are given authority beyond their capability and then bully and threaten staff to cover up their own failures,getting senior management to back them up,which they will because after all they approved the promotions in the first place. Just take a look at what has happened with workplace bullying at Muirhouse Social Work Centre. George who has been working on this has time after time been astounded at the level of cover up and incompetence as the buck is passed from clown to clown.
Nothing now sadly suprises us about the level of lies deciet and incompetence most of which is blamed on front line staff,it’s easier than outing the real culprits. But we hear overtones of change coming from the new city administration,who we are told are determined to rid from their employ the rotton apples. We have some constructive advice for them,start in Muirhouse and work through the rest. We are happy to help.
