Dunno if this is a “British disease” I’ve found that in both public and private sectors you get people who are actually trying to sabotage the project they are working on for various reasons (sometimes only known to themselves) – they do things like lose files, delay vital information,sometimes even damage or sabotage vital equipment etc and can be found in all grades of an organisation..

it only takes a few people like that to slowly destroy a project or even the organisation, and everyone loses in the end, from customers to staff and investors or taxpayers (

maybe it does happen in other countries but I’ve dealt with lots of other nations businesses over the years and noticed it most with British companies, maybe thats also why we lose so much work to foreign countries..

IMO people like that are no better than the criminals and terrorists, OK they may not use physical violence but I think the mindset is the same – they are ultimately fucking up loads of peoples lives yet taking salaries from the companies…
