Huge sums of money dished out to ‘disappear’ WECA bosses by clown man regional mayor

It’s been a very busy time down at WECA for tasty payoffs and gagging orders. Since hapless clown man, Dan “The WECA Man” Norris, was elected in May 2021 there’s been the following exits:

June 2021: David Gibson, Director of Infrastructure exited with a pay off and gagging order;

September 2021: the Director of Governance exited with a pay off and gagging order;

February 2022: the Director of Finance exited with a pay off and gagging order. 

And let’s not forget Chief Executive, Patricia “Psycho” Greer disappeared in 2022 too. Later paid off in August 2023 with a £219,000 golden handshake with a gagging order in place.

Into 2024 and we’ve said goodbye to Rachel Musson, Director of Resources, with rumours of sex discrimination circulating. She exited with a pay off and gagging order.

Another Director of Infrastructure exited with a payoff and gagging order and Alex Holly, Director of HR exited with a payoff and gagging order.

The term ‘basketcase’ doesn’t do the Weca Man’s organisation justice.

TAX EFFICIENT BOSSES JOY

Mystery surrounds the latest corporate brownnoser to get the ear of the gullible Reverend Rees – Jackie “YOU’RE FIRED!” McGeachie. How exactly is she getting paid?

Ms McGeachie, urgently drafted in from her LUCRATIVE interim HR role at the council by the Reverend to knock together a new organisational structure after the disappearance of his former brownoser-in-chief Big Wedge Klonowski, usually SELLS her services through her own company.

The former Tesco UNION BUSTING HR boss turned jobbing local authority interim high-earner worked for Barnet and Haringay councils through her company Jacquie McGeachie HR Consulting Ltd. So has she taken this well-known TAX EFFICIENT route – avoiding the little people’s PAYE tax obligations – in Bristol?

According to the council’s Expenditure Over £500 accounts – that they must publish every month – no payments have been made to Jacquie McGeachie HR Consulting Ltd. However, since arriving in the summer MYSTERY PAYMENTS have started appearing in the accounts.

A payment for £14,058.66 in August and £21,087.99 in July for ONE HR member of staff do appear. Paid to Carlisle Staffing PLC, the council’s employment agency supplier. Who was this money for?

Coincidentally, when McGeachie worked in Barnet, they started routing her and other HIGH-EARNING interims’ payments through Barnet’s contracted agency staff supplier – Hays – to disguise who the money was going to. This was after nosey journalists and bloggers started to consult Barnet’s list of published payments over £500 to view the huge tax efficient sums corporate consultants were TROUSERING from council tax-payers.

Surely ‘onest Marv wouldn’t resort to such a dishonest practice?
