[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2770172, member: 1132"] Welcome to OSA! Now on to business! :) So you and your sister worked for the .gov, but never met people or saw actions and policies created by senior "leadership" that were out and out foolish? You agreed with the policies set forth by those in Washington DC on a routine basis? When they didn't make sense for your office, area, region or those you served, were you given alternate choices to perform the mission that better fit the needs of The People? The reason I say this is because as a .gov employee, you do not represent The People. You represent a nameless, faceless entity that frequently insulates itself from its actions at the upper echelons. You may be the only real person that member of the public gets to express their frustration to. Now they may not realize that you have no control whatsoever over the policies you're facilitation that make their lives more difficult. They may not understand even when those policies make sense on some level, but not THEIR level. As a .gov employee, I feel the same way you did when you worked there. I actually empathize with their concerns. However, I know many .gov employees and leadership who either dont, or dont express it when they do. They make my job more difficult on a daily basis. Now I could be a bull in the china closet and simply say Thats the way it is so just deal with it., but thats not how I do business. At the same time, I dont get upset when people generalize and slam me because I work for the .gov. Thats not my monkey and I dont internalize it. I know theyre directing their frustrations at those who do embody everything thats wrong with the .gov. After all, if everyone were like you and your sister in .gov, people wouldnt be making those generalizations. [/QUOTE]
