[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interned at the EPA in the 90s (long time ago I know).  Almost all of the support staff was black.  As a general rule, they did nothing all day. If you asked them to fax or fed ex something, they looked like you like you had two heads.  Now, that said, the lawyers worked their asses off (and were very diverse, all races and religions), so this is not a racial thing but an employment/union thing.  It was pathetic.[/quote]

So, the lawyers sent their own faxes and Fed Ex shipments? [/quote]

yep.  and the admin talked on the phone with their friends all day.[/quote]
what kind of a person cannot send their own fax or fedex?

To me that is outright ridiculous, almost like expecting someonevat the office to bring you coffee[/quote]

Think the point is that the support staff were hired to do this job. They are being paid to do this as their job and collecting expensive benefits. If the people who they supported did this on their own, there would be no reason to hire support staff.
 Also, the people who they support focus on their job and the support staff, generally who are paid less (maybe not so true in 
government) do their work at a lower cost. Kind of like a client paying for $5/5 minutes of clerical work vs $1/5 minutes.[/quote]
Lower cost?
Any company that hirses a person to send a fax must be the joke of the town[/quote]
