The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It’s things like this that make me realize just how incredibly stupid Congress is.
wtf? how do they do that?
“We abdicate our power to fire people”
So ... everyone has to stay because they took away their own power to fire people? Def. libtards in charge
“In response, Attorney General Loretta Lynch has declined to defend a provision of the law that cuts off one way employees can appeal disciplinary decisions.”
Standard DEMOCRAT tactic. Jerry Brown, and the Democrats use it all the time in California to allow the environmentalists to win their lawsuits against the State. They don’t defend the State. Make only a show of doing it. Environmentalists are the Democrats major donor, and the major participants in all things Democrat within the party, so of course the environmentalists get what they want.
Now by this article we see they are using the same tactic to skirt the intent of the Congressional relief they were provided to clean up the VA. Bearing in mind the bureaucracy is stuffed full of entrenched Democrats.
Kneel! Kneel before your government employee gods, you filthy swine taxpayers!
Bring them offerings of bonuses and bribes lest they strike you down!
All you have to do is control the VA pay computer.
Turnabout is fair play.
Start screwing up their pay.
When they complain, tell them you are looking into it. Tell them it will take at least three months.
When they complain again, tell them to call the pay office. Give them a phone number to a phone that is never answered.
After three more months, tell them they need to fill out a form. Have them mail in the form and let it sit on a desk for six months.
When they complain again, tell them to call the Inspector General. Have no one answer the phone.
After four years, tell them there is no record of them ever working for the VA. Tell them there was a fire and their record may have been burned up.
Tell them to reapply for a job.
The inglorious V.A. must have caved to the internal office pressure of the American Federation of Government Employees, which is the largest FEDERAL EMPLOYEE UNION within the V.A.
I was an employee of the V.A. New Orleans, and it was quite evident, that every little ‘department’ had their own little ‘empire of ol’ boys and girls’, down to the department that took care of the hospital daily supplies.
Any talk of any employee, had to be coordinated with the ‘AFGE’, either good or bad.
With Jeff Miller in charge, no wonder it is still messed up.
