...and there often is no money to medically treat veterans. These VA managers are criminal ghouls. They should be fired...or imprisoned.
Sometimes it is hard not to be a little bitter.
In 3 of the VA hospitals I’ve worked in nursing staff were bringing in toiletries, pillows and other items from home for patients use. Anything the government runs goes sub standard.
Most people cannot imagine how dislocated government workers are from private sector workers.
Imagine a job where you’re paid 30% to sky’s-the-limit more than your degree or skills or attitude would allow in a competitive marketplace.
Imagine a job where you have so many days off that vacation time doesn’t feel any different, where the benefits are so good you’d think you’re still living with mom and dad, and where you cannot be fired.
The government workers I know at the local, state and federal level quite literally don’t know where the money for their paychecks comes from. It just shows up.
