[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Does [u]anyone[/u] work with an admin at a federal agency that is not rude and somewhat lazy?[/b] I only need to deal with ours for limited tasks, but she acts as if everything she is asked to do is a huge burden. It's getting hard to deal with the lack of professionalism. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous][b]OP here. It's just one admin - I've never had an issue with any others.[/b] It's refusing to respond to emails, being rude whenever you ask her for anything, spending most of her day chatting, etc. I'm a supervisor and haven't had ink for the printer in my office for close to a year because she is "too busy" to order supplies. It means I have had to print performance appraisals and other confidential documents on a shared printer and then run down the hall to get them before someone sees them. We have another admin who is very helpful, but she's a contractor, and has to get approval from most things from the federal admin. It's just frustrating to see how much negativity an employee who contributes so little can bring to an environment. [/quote]

I've had good and bad admins in every single job - firm, local gov, state gov.  Yours sounds awful, but there is no need to perpetuate a stereotype that they are all bad.  In fact, by your own admission, most are just fine.  Stop with the hyperbole! [/quote]
