[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DOE Office of the Chief Information Officer.  All things mentioned here and then some
  Back channel meetings during the meetings for the "WTF" conversations. High turnover.  Backstabbing and undermining by leadership. Contractors wagging the tail of the fed dog. In office, doors closed most of the time when on premises.    Ethics nightmares abound.  Leadership cares more about airliine and hotel status/points than the actual mission.  Literally killing good workers while promoting incompetence.[/quote]

What do you mean about contractors wagging the tail of fed dog and can you give an example?[/quote]

Sure, several examples. (1) the DOE CIO has a BFF in private sector who "needs work" according to her.  To that end, she directs staff to hire him.   He doesn't actually do anything and will tell you that straight up.   When staff refuse to increase his hours or add new tasks, staff get removed from managing those contracts.  Most of the tasks he's being paid for now do not even support DOE - just made up pet projects to give him income.  This information was given to the OIG over 6 months ago.  They've done nothing.  (2) DOE OCIO has contracted out numerous items that are inherently govt functions and contractors making decisions without proper federal oversight.  The organization is a total shit show.  Then they hire the same contractors to do "strategic planning" for them to try to figure out why they are so messed up.   This becomes a self licking ice cream cone of how they need even MORE services from the contractor.   What they really need is competent keadership that is not going on unnecessary boondoggles every week to actually LEAD the organization and require proper performance management.   As a tax payer, yiou should be appalled by the waste, fraud, abuse.  And also the seriousness of the hot mess is that should be protecting some of nation's nuclear technology.  Just sayin'.........[/quote]
