The boys and girls done good

Is it not gratifying to know that the Scottish Executive is so well-served by its middle ranking and junior staff? The latest FOI bulletin (here) reveals that the performance of 99.6% of them was graded as either 'effective' or 'exceptional'.

Of course, you might consider that a performance appraisal system that assesses more than 99 out of 100 of its employees as performing effectively (or better) is a bitter joke. But I could not possibly comment...
