Benefits but too much process preventing you achieving the requirements

Project Delivery Mgr (Current Employee) - Dorset - 2 December 2023

Worked for the MOD for 30 years, doing various roles and within same geo-region. The CS has benefits but are dwindling constantly though often still better than the private industry. Hours are 37 pw but the last 10 years, I've always needed to work in excess due to unrealistic work loads and targets, and while so many around me both civilian and military are relaxed and barley working. Therefore the management from the most senior command just will not address the imbalance - it could be amazing to work for. However, the other siginificant issue is Government policy. It prevents you achieving the objectives and targets you are employed to do. What sense is that? Daily head-wall banging to my job and told you can't or you have you have to do XYZ first. Demoralising and senseless. Environment is relaxed and based mostly on community, but you get many who are conditioned, institutionalised and so set in their ways they are part of the obstruction issues and believe funding or authority is theirs and not the publics. You would not even believe the waste of public money in thre name of VfM and public interest. Our own policies and processes cost far, far in excess of what we try to save, excluding our own time and wages as staff who waste resources trying to mitigate the issues. Good Pension, good community (mostly), good hours (if you have the right job and LM), no weekends. No overtime in most CS roles but you can accrue flexi, though I just built so much above the allowance and struggles to take flexi and annual leave. Has been good balance of WFH and in-office though that is -
