Another FOIA

Got the reply from the Supe to our request for a FOIA. It wasn't stone walling but it wasn't open door either. Basically he just showed us what is on the web page. Big deal. Here is a guy who, when he came here, said that things were going to be different. Things will be open and that there will be more of a team spirit. Well, that just hasn't happened. He has been hostile to the staff ever since he arrived. In fact it is the prevailing attitude of all managers. This reply is no exception. Well, today we prepared a more detailed FOIA. We want the specifics on three organizations that are contracted here to do the duties that we do. He wants to play hardball? Well, fine then, so will we.

I will tell you what has started this. It is the Bush administration. They are no friends to the everyday citizen. Yes, I am a Federal worker. I get great benefits. But I deserve respect. I love my country. It is great and beautiful. If you knew where I worked, you would understand and agree with me. The staff here gets none because the administration is not a supporter of the employee. They support the employer. I used to be a Republican. I am now a Socialist. It is scary really scray just hostile the administration truly is.
