Over my head

A thought-provoking stat I've picked up from my never-ending hunt for rubbish BBC job ads...

"The professional and business services functions: Finance, HR, Legal, Design & Engineering, Corporate, External Affairs, Marketing & Audiences etc; can be found in two divisions within the BBC, the Deputy Director General Group and Corporate, Policy and External Affairs. With just over 5,800 staff across the two professional services divisions......"

I find it odd to celebrate the scale of these operations, when the message Anne Bulford, as DDG, is trying to put out is a squeeze on overheads. Even if you strip out the 2,800 in Design and Engineering, it's a healthy 3,000 functionaries. Based on March 2017 headcount, the figures suggest 470 people have jobs in Corporate, Policy and External Affairs.
