Dilemma

Does it matter where it is spent? - preview
I work in a small staff team in a British university where we share a secretary
  • Recently, in order to shed staff and save money, there was a call for voluntary redundancy with fairly generous severance pay
  • Our secretary wished to take advantage of this offer to clear her personal debts
  • One condition of the deal was that she could not be replaced from existing sources of funds
  • A colleague in my centre, but not in my team, has just won several hundred thousand pounds from the government to evaluate some new work
  • My boss decided that we appoint a new secretary for my team using some of this money

  • Name and address supplied & Jan Lethbridge
