Do any LU employees here have a feeling (or even figures) for the proportion of managers who have 'come up through the ranks' as opposed to been employed from outside the organisation?

Do any LU employees here have a feeling (or even figures) for the proportion of managers who have 'come up through the ranks' as opposed to been employed from outside the organisation? Without having any definitive answer, apart from, "A lot less than before," the general feeling among the "rank and file workers" is that it's better to have had experience in the industry than not. However this is not always the case, as I can think of more than one example of managers with a totally non railway background who have thrown themselves totally into the job, asking relevant questions and creating an excellent working relationship. On the other hand I think most of us (LUL employee in my case) know cases of "poacher turned gamekeeper;" previously the bane of managers' lives until they get promoted! So, sorry not to answer your question directly. |
