Fed Goes Hunting For Malcontents

snydeq writes "The wake of State Department document leaks to WikiLeaks may have the unhappy rousted from government agencies' 'privileged insiders' ranks, thanks to a recent memo from the US OMB asking agencies to spell out their strategies for minimizing insider risk. 'It's likely that federal contractors and government suppliers will also find themselves responding to this list of questions (PDF) and the central issue of preventing the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and classified materials. In a key section of the memo, the OMB requests information on whether organizations are measuring the "trustworthiness" of their employees and whether they use a psychiatrist or sociologist to measure the unhappiness of an employee as a measure of trustworthiness.'"

    Wish you would have not posted anonymously. Then I would know who not to hire. You must think that the jobs that are given out are your right to have. It is not. No one OWES you anything. No one OWES you respect, or a job, or even a break. Sometimes people get things without working for them. That dose not mean they are owed. In my case I would attempt to hire people driven to do a good job by their own personal pride. Hell. I think personally that if you are doing a job and not taking pride in your work because you don't like your boss or some shit like that then you are worthless.

    A person should be judged by who they are when things are not going well. Judging a person by how they act when all is going their way is stupidity. You are what you are at your worst. Not your best.

    Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
