In reply to Cynthia. Sadly not satire. Hats off Cynthia, even I couldn't sum up the malaise as succinctly as social workers wanting the work environment to be one big psychotherapy session. So true and sadly so soul destroying if one is not in the entitled club.

In reply to Ellis. Ellis- I did find this powerful and despite being reluctant to do so, have to acknowledge that there is truth to what you say. Currently in my local authority (and many others) there is much talk about 'diversity, empowerment, empathy, competence, reflection or making a lasting positive impact' and so on, and at the same time we are being told that due to significant financial pressures anything that is not a statutory requirement should be slashed. Not sure how this will all come out in the wash.

I sincerely hope that Ellis isn’t indulging in satire because almost every word they write is spot on. Social work has to move away from validating the belief held by most social workers that their work environment should become one big psychotherapy session.

Actually truly awful managers are the best educators of NQSWs. They have no veneer nor pretend that working in social work is about actually about diversity, empowerment, empathy, competence, reflection or making a lasting positive impact on lives. It’s the feelings, lived experience matters pretenders who deflate and under prepare NQSWs for the realities of a bureaucracy obsessed budget driven faux profession. I say celebrate the manager that understands social workers rarely if actually ever ‘save’ anybody in a meaningful way. Social work is built on an illusion of decency but in reality is full of cynical self absorbed social workers who rarely see beyond their own needs. I say hail the stand offish rude and target driven manager. They are social work. The rest is a swamp of emotional gunge, ineffectual but bizarrely convinced that social workers aren’t State functionaries doing the bidding of people they probably would cross the road to avoid if they weren’t being paid by them. It’s laughable that the ’empathetic’ social workers don’t join the dots of their obsession with ‘professionalism’ and the end result of managerialism that has little time for their ‘values’. I qualified in 1984. I have yet to meet the paragon “supportive and understanding manager” outside of the false bonhomie of the pub. My first manager was a member of the Socialist Workers Party who saw social workers as being in the vanguard of “democratising’ the State. They are now the proud recipient of an MBE and thoroughly embedded in the Strategic Manager scam. The managers I’ve had who have stayed in some kind of touch with their practitioner side are the ones who the empaths would revile as uncaring authoritarians. Time social workers understood that they differ from the police in only a very marginal way. State functionaries both. Reality can be very hurtful I suppose.

Managers do not seem to recognise the importance of contracted weekly working hours. Their priority is with unrealistic targets and timescales. They are dictated in turn by their managers in order to satisfy an Ofsted inspection.
