Sadly people who take these types of position move fairly quickly between organisations (third sector, also higher education), so there are always plenty of vacancies. They go in, make their new fancy changes and then move on within a couple of years. Some people make a career out of it. It also means they don't have to be held to account for their actions as they've moved on before problems come to light. They are, generally, a bit shit at what they do but they do know how to talk a load of flannel. But it would make me laugh if a load of us gcs applied for these jobs and got to interview stage 😆

This seems - like so much of what they churn out - to be potentially short-sighted. We've a cost of living crisis looming or already here depending on your circumstances. There are more and more MPs questioning the post-2015 basis of Stonewall and co. And the Cass Review will report this summer.

Why spend more on staff against that backdrop? Is it likely they will have the same or more to spend on all their outgoings?

They may end up having to cut costs. Redundancies etc. And you can only make those kinds of saving in a lawful way, ie women (the adult human female kind) on maternity leave can usually - not always - be protected. But not by protecting those with Stonewall law interpretations of non-existent protections. Cue legal wranglings about who's in and out.

Maybe...

They seem to pay pretty well, just looked at their accounts. Also, they earned nearly £5million in speaking fees in 18 months. So they’re still clearly quite popular. But who knows what’s going on really.

Tabby - supposed to be laughing emojis there! ^^

@tabbycatstripy

Think it would mostly be cradling your head in your hands and asking who put the 50p in NK again.

I wonder what the interview questions will be: 'What is a woman?' perhaps?

heathspeedwell · 21/04/2022 09:03

Wouldn't it be great if an undercover journalist applied and was able to report on what really goes in there.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at an interview. I wonder what they do if any candidate has a sudden outbreak of reality? Apart from not hire them of course! 😂

That would be a high turnover or is it doubling down? Some good salaries though the job descriptions only amount to a paragraph so not much detail at all.

tabbycatstripy · 21/04/2022 08:54

You would want at least two or three jobs between you and “Stonewall Head of PR”, wouldn’t you?

Moodycow78 · 21/04/2022 08:51

All pretty shit jobs to have too I'd imagine, no wonder people are leaving. You couldn't pay me enough to agree to handle their PR 🤣🤣
