"I think you are on to something there"
Careful. You can't manage minorities in DOL. If you critique their work they file a racial complaint. Get to many complaints - even if they are ALL frivolous - and you become non-promotable. Thats the main reason the Fed Gov is so screwed up: you can't get rid of non-performers without risking your career.
Correction - I said "minorities" when I should have said "blacks".
