A recent International and European Public Services Organisation (Ipso) union survey revealed widespread dissatisfaction among European Central Bank (ECB) employees regarding promotions and management, according to the Financial Times.
Only 19% of respondents believed that the ECB "does a good job of promoting the most competent people," while 77% said "knowing the right people" was essential for career advancement. Of the ECB's 4700 staff, 30% responded to the survey. Carlos Bowles, Vice-President of Ipso, said that staff are angry about what they see as "widespread favouritism" and feel that "ECB leadership is doing nothing about it."
