I've got a older buddy who works for the Federal Govt. He's been there a couple of years and trying to work his way up. He's asked I never tell what branch of govt he works for or who he is or specifics of what he tells me.
His first job was a joke. Although he has a BBA from a state school he was doing menial labor. Most folks were gone for hours while he picked up the slack. Some people never showed up but were covered by their supervisor. One guy who was suppose to show up was on a federal work release program.
His latest job he understands why the federal government is losing so much money. People know how to work the system and apply for benefits. All they have to do is apply and say some standard story and 90%+ chance they'll get them. In fact, he's been told that the approvers have been told NOT to disapprove the applicants.
shut down trap?
