Stagnation at all levels - Analyst Ofgem Employee Review

No opportunity to progress either in salary (been on basically same wage for 3 years) or L&D. They prefer to hire externally and pay consultancies exorbitantly but balk at the idea of providing advancements for current staff. You'd need to jump through a dozen hoops to try and justify a couple of percent pay increase (which will get blocked) but pay millions to agency, contractors and consultancy firms. Currently going through an OD change which will put staffs development in the hands of a small group of people (some of whom have no interest in developing staff) and just see us as a number in a resource pool.
