Ditto, Worked for him for a while at Jackson – he was a no bullshit get the job done leader. This may be a case of a the wrong guy for the job though.

Not a mole in the agency, but a chigger

According to an email from one of our moles, “DEW has a rule that employees will NOT forward emails to Fitsnews or they will be fired.”

I wonder if anyone is dumb enough to forward from their work account.

A two day conference for the purpose of making sure DEW staff are doing their jobs? Isn’t doing your job, like, a basic requirement of getting a paycheck?

Let’s hope the good general rides his motorcycle to the event.

I’m sure he’s probably just a fair weather rider, but one can hope.

As an ex DEW employee (left of my own volition – applied for a job the day I met the general. It only takes about 10 seconds to figure out what an ego driven SOB he is), it is a shame that the good employees have to tolerate this man. When I moved to DEW, my decision was based largely on the exceptionally talented people I met there. DEW was lucky to have some of these employees because their competence and knowledge are in large demand in the private sector. Some of them have since left or been fired. To the person who served with him, (not the “Colonel”, I am not sure but I would bet that moniker belongs to none other than Da General’s chief of staff, Joe Lowder, which begs the question, is writing positive comments on this site an official part of his job?), I do not doubt he was fine in the military but a state agency is NOT the military. Personally, I think one of the Da General’s biggest weaknesses is his inability to listen to the experts he is surrounded by (or was until they all left). He wants everything done the minute it pops into his head no matter how ill advised or asinine and if those who know better explain to him why it’s not a good idea, he accuses them of making excuses. This might be fine in a battle situation but state agencies generally have the time to make informed and intelligent decisions. Only an arrogant fool ignores out of hand the opinion of specialists. The wise leader will see these people for what they are and value what they have to offer.

Well, it just doesn’t seem to be getting better. That starts at the top and works it’s way down. General, maybe this is not what you were meant to do. Career enders can be a bitch.

……. think back to General Westmoreland’s campaign for Governor – same story. I believe it was a joke that he slept in camo pajamas.

Mole Tip:

Screen capture the email by using a portable capture tool like AnalogX Capture run from USB key. No email traffic ensues and no software is loaded on the computer.

http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/system/capture/freeware.htm

Take the .jpg home, use MS Paint or whatever to obliterate identifying info, then email the picture to FITS. Alternate solution, print to paper, take paper home, scan it, email to FITS.

HAS ANYONE CHECKED THE GENERAL’S FRIENDS THAT HAVE BEEN HIRED AT DEW AND THEIR SALARIES SINCE HE HAS ARRIVED? BUT THEY STILL SAY THEY ARE RIFFING PEOPLE THEN REPLACING THEM WITH HIS FRIENDS OF COLOR THAT HAVEN’T A CLUE HOW TO HELP PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA FIND A JOB. NOT TO MENTION AT A HIGHER PAY . WITH A CHIEF OF STAFF AT A 119.OOO A YEAR JOB AND A DAY PLANNER AT 70,000 A YEAR JOB WHO SPENDS MORE OF HIS TIME TAKING PICTURES OF FLOWERS ON THE GROUNDS THAN HE DOES WORKING. DEW IS NOW A MILITARY BASE THAT DOESNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT WAR THEY ARE FIGHTING. THIS IS A SHAME CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT SPEND 20 OR MORE YEARS THERE THAT NOW THEIR LIVES ARE RUINED. AND THESE COLD HEARTED AZZHOLES COULD CARE LESS. IF THERE IS A GOD THEY WILL PAY AND PAY DEARLY I HOPE. YOU PUT A MONKEY IN THE TREE HE WILL FALL OUT SOONER OR LATER.
