I’m curious about how the UN Secretariat supposed to function. I see P3-P5 level get paid a huge amount monthly yet hire “experts” to do technical work, their roles are intended for. I mean, it’s P level not G.

I’ve seen myself like hiring strategy consultants, assessment consultants, MEL consultants, communications consultants for short-term yet we have P4/P5 who should be strategizing, comms officers at P3/P4 level who should have the expertise, and so on.

Again, this is an honest question. I recognize the possible workload issues. I just don’t think these responsibilities should be passed on to others given the salary these P-level staff receive.

Please enlighten me.
