— What VA’s now public adverse action reports don’t say about employee accountability – Nicole Ogrysko (DIERSEN: I should write a book about adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors took to get rid of me during my first day, first week, first month, first year, first decade, and during the rest of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Those adverse actions included forcing me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO, giving me unrealistic performance expectations and unfair performance appraisals, assigning me to supervise the office’s most problematic employees, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, not promoting me beyond GS-13, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)
