This is from a couple of posts on Bluesky from @altssa.altgov.info who purports to be a current Social Security employee. I cannot vouch for this person but this fits in with what I’ve heard elsewhere:
Deputy Commissioner of Operations Stephen Evangelista will reportedly be back at work on Monday after having a confrontation with commish Frankie over changes being made to operations and changes they want to make to operations that Evangelista is almost certainly correct about being bad for … [post one]
SSA operations and staffing. Frankie apparently doesn’t like being told he’s wrong, so his reaction to being given data and facts about why his ideas are 💩 was to call Evangelista a “fucking liar.” Allegedly, of course. Sounds like a guy you definitely want to work for, amiright???? 😑😑😑😑 [post two]
The only information I hear from leadership comes in the form of rumors like this. You can never know if these things are true or not. It certainly sounds like the type of thing that might be true, though, right?
ReplyDeleteI distinctly recall that one town hall where Frank said things would be super easy. Literally 0 people alive took that statement seriously, and lo and behold, it seems like cracks are already showing. If Frank starts being honest about the issues the agency faces, I might even bump up the respect meter from 0 respect to 0.1% respect. It would at least be a start. Gotta start somewhere if he sticks out all 6 years like he promised he totally would.
Frankie thinks he knows everything since he’s a wealthy individual. He takes after his boss.
ReplyDeleteThis lines up with the unions warning today that all CSRs in FOs will be assigned to full time TSC work starting 8/1 as appointment only and “online services” alleviates the number of unscheduled walk-ins to where CS can handle it all
