This is good news for Vets, maybe even good news for employees. I bet its tough to work where you are pressured to be dishonest, and to retaliate on whistle blowers.

It would be interesting to see...the unions fight VASEC for firing incompetent and untruthful VA employees. This would look very bad for unions. He is not firing good help..he is firing those who need to be fired.

I hope he fires some of the idiots at my VAMC Dallas Medical Center!

They seem to be putting all there efforts on construction rather then HealthCare!

Its a total mess!

Buck you are so right bud. I just had a ton of C&Ps last week at Ft Worth and Dallas. Ft Worth Docs were nice and the place is so clean. Dallas freaking sucks, I only go there because all of my Specialists are there. I would rather go to Bonham, but from East Texas all the VAs are far from me. As you stated the Dallas VA is investing more money in the Dam*** building then higher more folks to cut the work load and wait time.

Hopefully this is just the "first" 900 employees...maybe more. I would like to know who was honored by being the first one to get fired. Maybe that will straighten out some of the others who thought they were "fire proof".

The VA should fire about 9000 just to start and get some workers and doctors who respect veterans. The last C&P exam I got for DMII the exam doctor told me that Vietnam vets get fat on purpose just to get an increase in their DMII rating. That is insane and I don't believe it. I get this negative anti-vet attitude all the time at the VA of all places. The care I get at the VA is so poor I have to get the same care from private doctors because the VA can't be trusted. I went for PT at the VA and they turned me down and then they tell my congressman I refused treatment.
