Secretary Fires 900 Employees

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.

Although I have observed some cosmetic change the VA is still the same one I have known for 24 years. It brings joy to my heart to see more Veterans getting benefits sooner but still many wait years and years, A friend who used to post here called me yesterday and said the VA finally finished his claim 15 years after he first filed it. Lucky for him he had Social Security Disability all those years.

Today's news seems to cast doubt on the VA's numbers of those "fired" and for what.

(So what else is new?)

It would appear that the 900 fired number was highly inflated. I would not doubt that he was repeating a number that was given to him by one of his underlings. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/02/18/no-the-va-has-not-fired-60-people-for-manipulating-wait-time-data/
