DEAR Insider: I have no idea who David Brent is but he is definitely not on our payroll.

We don’t do “politically correct” in the County Council. If you ever hold down a job in the real world – making something more material than mischief – you would know how important it is to hold managers to delivering on targets that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-specific.

I suspect that, for The Insider, this would probably not be as enjoyable as making mischief.
