I do...from 2015 to 2018, I worked at the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the 3 worst years of my life...mind numbingly boring work, the agency is dominated by women.

Most of the new hires were transfers from the IRS. They hated it worse than I hated the DCAA. Bad management, slow/no promotion path, etc.

The IRS will not be hiring for competence, they'll be hiring for diversity, and we know how that will turn out.

Both agencies, like most federal agencies, only want workers who will do exactly what their supervisors want them to do, without exception. Intelligence and imagination are two of the least approved traits.

They did their best to fire me, but I filed an EEOC complaint against them, then I retired.

When it comes to defense audits, there is only one group worth a damn: Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). They ran circles around DCAA, which had auditors there for years.

LOL, I remember being assigned an audit by my supervisor, little did she know that SIGAR took over that audit six months prior to that. I paid the price for pointing out her miscue.
