The initial criticism came from Alessandra Zedda, former regional councilor for Labor and now a Cagliari city councilor: "Too many critical issues, the Permanente tender should be canceled." Current councilor Desirè Manca responded: "Just an IT problem." But now the procedure devised by the Region to facilitate the permanent hiring of precarious workers has come under fierce criticism from the Regional Council of Labor Consultants of Sardinia and the National Association of Labor Consultants – Sardinia's single union. They describe it as "mistakes, improvisation , and a 'click day' formula that no one supports."

In recent months, a statement reads, "we have witnessed a haphazard succession of deadlines, amendments, clarifications, and corrections, which has created a climate of ongoing uncertainty for businesses, workers, and professionals charged with implementing the measure. This situation highlights serious planning shortcomings and a lack of attention to the actual operational dynamics of work."

According to industry insiders, "the initial decision to set the deadline in December, a period already saturated with tax, social security, and payroll obligations, created obvious and predictable difficulties. Despite the specific reports made by the Constitutional Court," however, "the responses were partial, late, and inconsistent, with extensions continuing to fall on the same critical dates."

It's not over yet. The consultants point to a "further serious element: the cancellation of the call for proposals following a technical error, followed by its subsequent re-publication and the setting of a December 29th deadline, right in the middle of the holiday season. This decision confirms a management disconnected from the operational reality of firms and businesses."

Meanwhile, "the numerous corrections have introduced further uncertainty, with imprecise data and inconsistent guidance, forcing professionals and companies to continually make on-the-fly adjustments in an already highly critical context."

The chosen method, the " click day," also comes under fire, "a widely contested tool that is not supported by industry professionals. It turns active labor market policy measures into a race against time, penalizing the quality of applications, encouraging improvisation, and creating inequalities among companies, without any substantive assessment of the projects or actual employment needs."

Finally, the accusation: "It is unacceptable," the consultants argue, "that organizational errors, questionable technical choices, and inadequate tools be passed on to businesses and consultants, who operate responsibly to ensure the proper use of public resources. Employment policies require planning, clarity, and prior consultation, not constant adjustments and procedural oversight."
