Border Patrol Uk (or something)

I watched a documentary on the UK Border Gang (sorry can't remember what their proper title is and it'll have changed by the time I find out).  They seemed bright, motivated individuals for the most part, but as usual they appear hamstrung by daft rules.  

 

When they detain an individual here illegally, if they can't find a passport or similar document, they can't deport them.  Instead they give them a piece of paper with a stern instruction to report regularly.  Then they are let go and (mostly it seems) never heard from again. 

 

What a ridiculous waste of time and (our) money. 

Job Ad Translation

Do people fall for the nonsense recruiters put in job ads?

 

This one caught my eye;

 

This is a very important programme for the organisation therefore close co-operation with key business stakeholders will be necessary to ensure full buy in to the new systems. You'll need to be an effective communicator with a charismatic ability to gain buy in and be able to deliver on time and to budget.

 

I can't help feeling that the reality here is:

 

The client has a lot of political issues and wants to force in a new system.  Management is too weak to do this so you'll be expected to do it.  At the same time, if "stakeholders" rebel against the new system, it'll be your fault.

 

What a dream assignment.

 

Does anyone working as a Payroll Project Manager in IT really think they have charismatic ability?
