So we have CRs/TEs and other positions that are having to fill in for a duty that is considered GS-5/7. It's shambolic and a testament to poor funding and allocation of funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-23814211847670302572017-02-13T11:35:16.327-05:002017-02-13T11:35:16.327-05:00Hey 3:26 come spend a week face to face with the p...Hey 3:26 come spend a week face to face with the public, in a FO that doesn't have enough SRs to handle the front office and spend a few hours every single morning and 30 minutes before closing handling some face to face card requests, questions, problems and letter requests while also maintaining your daily scheduled appointments. The ODAR has hired and hired and hired, the National Hearing Center even took some of our staff as the CRs are looking to change positions away from the FO or DO. Sure don't see the flow going the other way from ODAR down to the trenches. It is a real divide and it sucks out here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-75487380236323855242017-02-10T15:26:19.939-05:002017-02-10T15:26:19.939-05:00@ 9:10

I can tell you this, customer service would go out the window (everything automated) and the number of employees would have to plummet (even though they'd pay them less with fewer benefits, the fat cats at the top would make WAY more than our top brass and they'd have to increase shareholder value via dividends regularly, of course).<br /><br />Just take a gander at the operating expenses of UHC and Aetna, for instance, and keep in mind they do way, way less work than we do with much less onerous process requirements (no pesky Constitutional due process issues, etc.).<br /><br />All your privatizer cheerleaders are going to get exactly what you deserve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-71111059270398078882017-02-09T12:06:33.083-05:002017-02-09T12:06:33.083-05:00Drain the swamp!!
