According to the DEA, people absolutely love working for the DEA (links added for irony):
DEA significantly exceeded ratings of other Government agencies in many measures of âPerformance Culture,â including:⢠employees feel personally empowered;
⢠creativity and innovation are rewarded along with providing high-quality products and services;
⢠promotions are based on merit;
⢠performance appraisals are a fair reflection of performance;
⢠poor performers are dealt with; and
⢠complaints and grievances are fairly resolved.
Heck I might enjoy working there too if I weren't so knowledgeable about drug policy. But it comes as no surprise that these folks enjoy waging war on their fellow citizens with no performance measures or accountability. In 34 years DEA has exhausted untold sums at our expense while failing to make a dent in America's drug problem.
â¦But at least they're having a really great time.
