If so, try drafting a critical memo directly opposed to goals your supervisor has spelled out for you, perhaps criticizing his/her ethics and humanity as well, a variety of opinions from your colleagues, then get as many co-workers as you can to sign it, you know,
Then lay it on his/her desk—no, give it your local newspaper and Atlantic magazine first. Let us know how that works out for you. Just for giggles, OK?
I agree with you completely on this. The State Department does not formulate foreign policy. It advises and executes at the behest of the Executive Branch.
This is like sabotaging the boss. Shouldn’t be stood for.
