Peter's Technology Mice

The mice that run the Big British Castle, Online.
We mice can only squeak for ourselves, definitely not for any public service broadcasting entities.

Save the BBC!

For backup purposes I mean. In case we accidentally delete it. Thanks.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

We've managed to gnaw a hole in the corner of our Twitter account and so we're off to @futuremice.bsky.social on the other site to look for better morsels.

Hope to see you over there. So we can steal your sandwiches.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Oh no, we've been spotted in W12!! We'd just come into the office to set our 24/25 objectives and seem to have caused some alarm.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Some might say that the BBC is not a TV and radio company but a specialist in re-orgs.

But we're just mice so we can't comment.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

We have until the end of May to set our objectives so after some thought:

Food: Collect and store 6 muffins from the @KillingStation

Safety: Identify and escape from at least two mouse traps in BBC buildings

Publicity: Attempt to appear in back of shot during the News at Six

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

@medialator Well doing TV stuff is complicated!

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

It seems that some are blaming us for technical difficulties during the DG's speech although that wasn't us.

Please refer all complaints to the Royal Television Society mice.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

@NikHorne We can neither confirm nor deny our involvement.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Merry squeakmas, everyone!

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Freely "leverages the might of the PSBs". We get a lot of PSBs around London Broadcasting House...

We're assuming they mean Pretty Stale Biscuits, of course.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Today we're wondering how many many people senior management can sack to create more senior management positions.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Things we've learned from the new BBC social media guidance:

1. Hyperlinks can be replaced with [square brackets mentioning something].

1. We should all respect each other. Even people you don't like.

1. Send emails before they're proofread

1. Numbering is now 1, 1, 1, 1...

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

All this on the back of another re-org at the BBC. We used to be in Future Media and Technology and now we're in Technology and Media Operations.

This is because it's not the future anymore and we do...erm...operate.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

We've all been sent new guidelines for social media use at the Beeb and we're concerned that we're not mentioned in the list of staff with no impartiality requirements; just actors, dramatists, comedians, musicians, some presenters and pundits.

Nothing about BBC mice!

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

It seems that some people in the BBC have had a pay rise lately, going by the class of sandwiches now in the LBH fridges.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Today appears to be continued proof that the castle cannot exist without a constant state of restructuring. Should the structure ever be discovered, everything would implode

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Well that ended fast, good to know we got a Q&A in considering what just happened

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

"A simpler, smaller BBC"
Well noticed, that doesn't really sound like that goes well with wanting to "deliver more" though definitely achieves the "with less"

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

So we merged in multiple other teams into tech group, but now there's plans to restructure and adjust role counts, including requesting voluntary redundancy for staff in tech group.

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

"fairness" means paying staff far less than market averages because we don't work here for the money

[Peter's Technology Mice @futuremice]

Ah yes and some further discussions about pay and reward, with "fairness" across the career framework...
Funded by people leaving, of course
