alright I read the transcript and this work environment sounds like the most kafkaesque lib hellscape you could conjure up

like obviously you're going to be brutally crucified for criticizing management, welcome to Every Job, but they do some HR idpol jiu jitsu to turn her pretty typical workplace parlance, e.g. "the beatings will continue until morale improves" and "I am afraid to speak to my supervisor about this issue" into Insane Racism, then force the worker to agree that she was a racist and to apologize, and further say that she is TRIGGERING her bosses by using REFERENCES TO VIOLENCE

holy poo poo look at these liberals go

We're curently under investigation by the doe but the entire focus is time card fraud and they've harped on things such as taking too long of walks on our breaks.

Furniture has been removed from communal areas.

The building that was shut down cause we decided to not do inspections on connections in the piping and whoops there were leaks, no changes to how we handle contracting pipefitters. It wasn't an inspection problem it was a fluke vendor problem obviously.

I've spent my entire post college life working fed contractor jobs ranging from research to engineering to inspections in presumably stable careers that I would have loved to be simply employed by the government cause I was forced to obey their byzantine restrictions anyways as a contractor and I can only assume I never had the opportunity because they'd rather piss away money to be essentially embezzled by the owners of said contracting firms than pay for my healthcare or retirement.

That's exactly what it is. Contractors are paid a fraction of the billable rate, as well you know, and the surplus goes to the top. It's all about upholding the social and class order.

Yeah I mean the very obvious and unavoidable answer is feds hire contractors to do work they should be doing directly because the whole process is a way to put fed funds in private hands and that's the goal. I just thought it was funny someone was asking me this as if I was the problem. I'm just an employee that would otherwise be a gov employee if we weren't pointlessly privatizing everything, I would prefer to be a gov employee cause I get the bulk of the downsides anyways, such as having to deal with drug tests for stuff that's legal in my state because it's not federally legal. If the DOE were directly controlling the site I work at rather than indirectly contracting it my job wouldn't change, I'd be better off, the public would be better off. It's just not gonna happen for the same reason it got contracted in the first place.
