[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my agency I see deference given to policy makers (politicals) but people don't really tip toe around senior civil servants very much.

Our admins don't get paid much GS 7, maybe 9 at the most.  They will do big copying projects, but it's pretty rare we need that and you get used to doing your own stuff mostly.[/quote]

I'm the one who made the original point about copying, and just be be clear, I'm not talking about doing my own copying. Everybody does that. I'm talking about large jobs with many hundreds of copies on a frequent basis.[/quote]

your agency should have people to do this. There aren't any codes that handle it?[/quote]

In my agency, normally the youngest female gets stuck with the burden of all the copying/filing and the purchasing credit card for that division. Even if she happens to be a lawyer... Who the hell has admin staff to do things like that? I do all of my own correspondence and mailing as well. [/quote]

Amazing. Your office blatantly and illegally discriminates on the basis of gender, and you have no problem with that. The youngest female has no business doing all the filing for all the other professionals.  A big problem in govt work is the admin staff is too often incompetent so their work is given to professionals. Managers don't want to have to deal with making admins do their own work.[/quote]
