Why didn't they ask Evans?

Would you recruit this person...

...as your Director of Finance?
Probably not. His working experience ends as a financial analyst.

Or this person as your chief buyer?
Probably not, this one has absolutely NO work experience.
Chances are, if you did recruit her, you'd go bust -- but before you did, your suppliers will have their field day! Now she's proposing a new purchasing manual to impose on hospitals in Greece. They are notoriously behind in their payments, 3years and a few billion Euro behind, in fact. The new purchasing procedure promises to make things a bit worse.

Why didn't they ask Evans", one wonders. Evans is a category buyer at a major food chain in Greece. He lives in Athens. He is easily join-able. And, most importantly, HE KNOWS THE JOB, for goodness sake!

* Greece's Prime minister looks and acts like he is running a NGO.

* Most of his ministers sport a gravitas looking and acting like adolescents entrusted with responsibility by their parents.

* They play at being grown ups, hoping to get a good mark from their parents.

* Some, more hard-core, ministers are in full pre-electoral regalia.

* The government’s communication tactics include the non-stop television-based, subject-matter deflecting propaganda – Soviet style.

Is the country in danger of disappearing for lack of competent resources in its government?

Greece's present government is, indeed, faced with a tough job.

Its executive cohorts however, have shown that they have neither the skills-set, nor the stamina, nor the experience to tackle the job. To this day, the only immediate-term effective cost-cutting measure they have taken is to leave their bills unpaid!

If it is true that “When the times get tough, the tough get going”, then this country is going nowhere fast.
