I agree the focus should be on assisting Veterans. The fact remains that this government agency is being run inappropriately for a government agency. The rules, regulations,laws and guidelines set out by the federal government are NOT being followed. Management is abusing their authority much like Mr. Bales did while employed there. It is not a private sector call center and you can not run it as you please. When the CBO cleans house then it will be a good place to work as it should be. Management needs to lead by example not take extended lunches, breaks and all rules need to be applied evenly across the board. Management is not above the law. Look back at the SSC upper management. Where are they now? After making the same mistakes.

As the wife of a veteran who has had the opportunity to call HRC to have a problem resolved, I have only encountered courteous staff including supervisors. Why do you say they don't care for the veteran? How many complaints do you receive from the veterans? How do you know that they don't take calls from the vets, they have from this vets wife. What happened to a man having his day in court and presumed innocent until proven guilty. Gossip does not get work done, it only prevents staff from working. Try to stay focused and let Mr. Bales, his attorney and the judicial system work this out for. Keep focused on helping the veteran, PLEASE.

I was never prouder of my job than I was this past Friday 9/19/08. This all started because of a huge mistake made by one of our mamangers..not ALL th manangers. He's already serving a sentence as his life will never be the same. My life at least has greatly improved since I was hired as a call rep. You complainers need to take a look within and if your life would be better without thr HRC paycheck then move on. All the change they are working so hard to do for us need to be listened to as eagerly you do this hateful gossip. We're not all Mr. Rhoade hatters either. He treats me and all other I see with respect and kindness. Why is it so may just want to see the bad around them and none of the good and the efforts of our mamange to really make changes for us. They actually paid attention to our employee survey. I know just what's going threw some of the minds reading this. NO, I'm not a chosen one or am in the good graces of the in crowd. I'm a proud HRC call rep who loves her job!!
