Hi there, I'm very disappointed in this response. It's shows the lack of understanding and contradiction by Minister Varadkar within his remit as health minister to staff within the HSE. It highlights the power and attitude within grade structures where certain high grades have a right to make decisions that affect others to a serious extent. The very term redundancy implies leaving a post And not returning and under no circumstances do I take a decision like this lightly but no manager of any grade should have a right to block an individual from taking an offer - so targeted redundancies are nonsense and a fantasy that rarely happens I have applied and been refused. It's not for greed or handout out but for the purpose of moving home and others are in the same boat as myself
It's so contradictory as usual you say one thing then counteract it. It's states above the intent to reduce numbers probably in admin which is what I am and that the VR purpose is to achieve a permanent reduction in numbers yet your manager has to give permission and says no. They won't give this permission as it reduces a staff member. It's makes no sense To block an individual volunteering to go. The Hse has always operated this way - offer something to staff but then make it impossible for staff to access it But give the impression it's there to look good.. This is how everything operates in the HSE whether it's training, time off etc, shorter working year none of these are accessible so why offer them. Is it just to let the country think public sector workers have all these opportunities at their finger tip. It's very discriminative and not a good practice as it's very undermining to junior staff. It's all time wasting filling forms that come back refused and you get no where only frustrated.
