I agree, if he was not doing his job, fire him. And if the job was "created" in some kind of buddy buddy scheme, fire whomever created the position. I've never seen the need for a supervisor for 8 people where the supervisor's sole position is to supervise.

Look the man up, (IMO) he can be as arrogant as he wants. FWIW-Supervisors do not explain their actions to subordinate. That's how the world swings. Little piss-ants who have their panties wadded up.

You saying none of those folks around you are arrogant.

I know who he is. I also know if he was just coming in for a coffee and a newspaper and leaving for the day his position isn't necesarry.

Just seems to me there is an adequate reason for an investigation, and a responsibility to the taxpayer. Maybe not, maybe it's all political, but no one should get a position at the taxpayer's expense based on their military exploits or who they know or who they are.

If the Govt wants to run a job service program for MOH recipients, then propose a law, make it so, and let's pay them a salary every year.

But no one is above scrutiny. If he was doing his job satisfactorily there's nothing to worry about. If he wasn't there is. If someone created the job through cronyism, there's something amiss there, too.

No one is above scrutiny when they are on the taxpayer's dime. No one.

So if it is determined that this man was hired to do a job with taxpayer's dollars that really consisted of nothing but sitting around drinking coffee, you eliminate the job and send him home. If he was expected to do more but didn't do it....same thing...you fire him. A special prosecutor investigation indicates the possibility of some type of fraud charge. Only way I see any type of fraud is if he were pretending to be doing something that he was never doing. Maybe that's the case. All we have to go on is the article.

If somebody offered me $84,000 and gave me a title and told me I could basically do whatever or as little as I wanted, I'd ride that horse as long as I could. Would I be breaking any law in doing so? The person that hired me might have some answering to do when it became evident but I don't see where I could be charged with anything criminally.

Then again, maybe I'm wrong....just the way I see it.
