Someone had to come up with those questions in written form. I want to know the fascist that wanted to know the content of one organizations prayers.
That would be the supervisor. Government drones in jobs like this are not allowed to think. They shuffle paper. This rot starts at the top and I believe it will come out that they purposely did not assign needed resources to get the job done using the inefficiency for the desired result.
Mark my words... that is the excuse they are using now and that will be the excuse coming out of the hearings. “We only budgeted one person to handles these and he/she was overwhelmed with the number of applications.”
That was part of what I was trying to say if it was not clear. It’s the supervisors and the responsibility falls on them. A person or persons in the chain of command saw what was happening and encouraged it. The extra questions and other layers of crap they put people through was inexcusable. Again, that comes from a GS-teen level person - not a drone in a cubicle.
That is the danger of big government that has partisan people in charge - they can use the bureaucracy to achieve the desired result.
