I take offense at that. While there are bad employees there, there was also plenty of people who worked hard and did more than their share. I used to say if you had a work ethic and a conscience you killed yourself working at the VA. I also said it rewarded mediocrity because certain people were never asked to do more. But to make that sweeping a generalization is unfair.
