Is it true that staff at the Department of Work and Pensions sent out pensioners bank details to a random selection of addresses in order to earn the same level of incompetence bonus that their colleagues at the Child Support Agency are enjoying?
I assume the value of this information is limited to criminals as the majority of these pensioners will presumably have very little money in their accounts!
Anonymous, how much bonus would have been paid if the CSA had been successful?
To be fair to CSA staff, I have no problem rewarding low grade staff with bonuses for 'performance' in their particular areas as they are not responsible for systemic failings in the organisation unlike management grades!
