Doesn't make sense. The agency has an increased emphasis on catching and stopping fraud. My office has been eagerly assisting such efforts. No one is afraid. We wake up motivated each day.
what kind of fraud? an identity thief applying for retirement benefits for someone else, or a group of SSA leadership falsely reporting living immigrants as deceased?
You don't account for ALL Social Security workers. Pretty arrogant of you to assume that. Exactly @11:30. And most of the major fraud comes from within SSA itself. Employees opening accounts and transferring others benefits into them...etc..etc.. I could name more, it's pointless. This poster wouldn't accept it anyway. He/she seems to think they speak for ALL of Social Security. 🙄
I'd be scared too. I personally would seriously think about quitting a job like that, but then I would reconsider before doing so for the sake of the elderly and disabled, as well as others.
30 years ago I reported management fraud anonymously. Got email from regional director doubting my story but manager's computer confirmed what I was alleging. The guy was going home early some days but reporting he worked the whole day. This was when we had sign in sheets. I didn't want to report him but on the sheet I was signing it has remarks about fraud and I wasn't going to overlook his fraud.
The first integrity review I ever did caught an employee committing fraud. I went ahead and reported it to OIG. My then manager hauled me into his office and screamed at me for doing that. He was threatening to fire me. The employee who committed fraud was arrested and convicted. In retaliation I was told point blank I would never be promoted. But I didn't care. I did my job until I retired. Eventually that manager was forced out...
When the government is run by the criminal element..

DeleteYes I was surprised to learn people were scared. Why? Very easy and happy place to work. One of the happiest agencies out there.
DeleteFor the love of gawd, @4:08. I certainly hope that is sarcasm!
DeleteGee, like Hungary and Russia....
ReplyDeleteTRUTH!

ReplyDeleteThey were delusional to think that they could report it before. Career SES would retaliate faster than political appointees.
ReplyDeleteAren’t we all afraid now?!
ReplyDeleteThis administration loves employees that just follow orders without questioning anything. You are due for a promotion.
DeleteNope. I report issues to my supervisor. I've done my due dilligence. If they ignore it, so be it.
DeleteI can't fix the agency, I'm one person.
If you're afraid of job loss, welcome to the world of work in 2026.

ReplyDeleteThe acting CIO should be afraid. Frank the Wall Street insider will pass off the blame for the data theft.
