At my last command - CNCTC Wash DC - I complained to the LT in charge of the galley because the galley was continually not open for breakfast an average of 3 days of the week. I sat down with him and he told me that the cooks are civil service employees getting the basic min wage and could probably make more on welfare. Also, the last LT in charge still had an EEO suit against him so basically the LT was afraid to say anything because he didn't want his career harmed. It's probably easier fighting the terrorists than most of these civil service employees.
Who wants to bet that someone is going to be offended with the use of the word "rat"
Ann hit the nail on the head with that statement. I've been in the Civil Service for over 30 years and the past few in "management". The ONLY people I've ever seen fired, were drug users.
Several employees viewed porn while at work and all they got were reprimands. Some did that on a consistent basis and finally management has to do something. Many times, these people are allowed to "resign", instead of being fired.
