40 min. worth of personnel questions
Thanks!
Thanks
We have been inundated with the calls and now they are sending field reps to house. One came by today... I was working and did not answer the door...left brochures about the survey and why we are required to fill it out. The last rep came by on a Sunday... we made it clear we will not participate and then got a mailed letter, now today a visit. They will go to your neighbors for info about you and I imagine the next visit will be on Thanksgiving when my family and friends are here for dinner. They shout when at the door that they are with the US Govt... try to intimidate you as if you are a criminal.
One of my friends is being hounded by their agents, and she is being told it’s a $5000 fine for non-compliance.
what survey?
I haven’t heard anything for months.
