Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16045504 how does it feel to have no soul? Well, I've actually had soul-sucking jobs, and this is not a soul-sucking job. It does not, however, allow for much creativity. I'm merely a minion. if only you knew the truth. one day you will. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3756790 United States 12/05/2012 07:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP do you feel your managers are clueless and chipped? Does the best ass kisser get the promotion over a far more knowledgeable and qualified non-asskisser? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29096310 The managers can be clueless. The way the system functions does not permit a lot of variance or creativity in either monitoring or correcting behaviors. I do not see the ass-kissing/promotion bit, but I'm not high enough up the ladder to see many "appointed" positions or have much inside knowledge of those situations. At my level, being capable will actually get you a promotion--assuming your manager's not clueless. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3756790 United States 12/05/2012 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How do you feel about the Administration you work for? I certainly have no qualms with the department for which I work. It functions fairly well (as well as it can) within the confines our lawmakers set forth for it. And it is, as a whole, becoming more conscious of not doing stupid shit. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3756790 United States 12/05/2012 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is the greatest secret or "taboo" subject you have learned about in your time as a Fed? Quoting: JeepersCreepers I've not been privy to any government secrets. The only exception to that is that I don't like to see my tax dollars wasted when they don't have to be. Within the confines of the laws that govern my job, I refuse to waste my tax dollars. I also point out to my co-workers when they are wasting my tax dollars. |

The Obama Administration. You don't know who you work for? I do know who I work for. I answered regarding the department for which I work as opposed to the administration. While I don't see what relevance my feelings toward the Obama Administration may have to, uh, anything, I'll tell you that I like it a hell of a lot better than the Bush Administration. |

Part of our job is to avert catastrophe but not the kind you might imagine. |
