Drain the Swamp! IF I Had A Dollar for Every Rude Government Employee I Encountered, I’d Be RICH!

I’m a disabled Army Veteran who worked for the Federal Government as a sub-contractor then a Contractor for almost 15 years. I worked for various private sector companies, my last one being CACI.

I couldn’t take it. The mistreatment of Federal Contractors is so bad that I finally had to give up my career and walk away.

2 years later, I’d be running a six-figure real estate company, but that’s another story for another day.

I am highly qualified. Majority of the times, I was told I am OVERqualified.

Whatever that means.

I was told by a few government employees that mediocre government employees were afraid I’d either go after their job or take their job.

So, this is what our tax dollars are paying for. Mediocrity.

This mistreatment of the very organizations that I pay to serve me were constantly either thwarting my progress or actively getting in the way.

About 18 years ago, I decided to finally get the courage to go after my ex for child support. We conceived a child when we both lived in Belgium, both Army soldiers, then he abandoned us.
