[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The VA's leadership is incompetent.  Classic Peter Principle.  I've noticed people become intoxicated by power and become vindictive. Honestly, many are fascists. (I know, the irony right?).  They bully you, write you up for things you never did, give you the worst assignments, and actually YELL at you and publicly shame you. I have a doctorate for goodness sake!  You are treated like a child, and micromanaged.  It's all for their fun and because they can get away with it. There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY.  The higher you go into leadership, everyone covers for each other.   Employees become demoralized, we joke that "Our salaries are a little higher in lieu of humane treatment."     Everyone is afraid to speak out due to retaliation.

I know someone who got hurt at work and had hearing loss. They used a policy that stated a sign language interpreter is a reasonable accommodation.  Next thing you know, the policy is updated, and that section is left out.  Job descriptions were updated to say "must have x amount of hearing ability."  They couldn't even transfer to another position in a 50 county area because of how the job description was rewritten. 
All that being said, they say "If you've seen one VA, you've seen one VA."  It's the culture at the place you land, and who you are favored by. I'm leaving.  Life is too short.    [/quote]

I don’t believe this.

A person could experience hearing loss but how would a sign language interpreter help them when the person with recent hearing loss doesn’t know ASL?

It’s not like you lose your hearing and immediately understand a new language overnight.

Fishy.
