Bring your administrative expertise to VA and earn great benefits while supporting our Veterans.
Through programs like the Employee Incentive Scholarship Program (EISP), VA employees like Dr. Kenyuatia L. Gash have received financial support in pursuit of their education.
Providing better outcomes for diverse Veterans means finding ways to reach them, whether on a personal level or on a geographic level.
One of the things the executive branch hated about me was my ability to get people immediately under them to share internal data with me. People could not figure out how I was doing it, and getting so much leaked materials.
By 2010 they cut all that off and got rid of people that wanted to help vets. Then they cut phone lines, emails, and answering machines. Isolated whole floors at 810 Vermont Street and kept even the VSO’s at bay by 2013.
There goal, no more grassroots allowed in meetings or getting internal information.
Did it make them better? He’ll no. It’s nice and quiet now on the upper floors at 810 Vermont Street. They cut everyone off.
These are vastly over confident people above the law now. It didn’t improve our care or circumstances. You just don’t get what they are like in 2023 compared to 2000. What I’ve seen change.
Ive spent decades in Washington DC dealing with bitter legacy government personnel that ruined lives and thought they were not. Proud, arrogant, and bluffing Congress at so many hearings. They are not missed. People like Helen Malaskiewicz I would have taken a bullet for her. We needed many more like her and they arent there any more. She deserved better to.
You think its bad now, wait 2 more years. Covid isnt done wiping out the great employees. Long Covid and POTS will take a even greater toll. VA will have to hire anything that moves. Which means people who dont speak english. Your going to love that in 2025 calling in.
I’ve spent 29 years in VA care mostly in VISN 17. 26 years of this has been as a advocate. Finally, point blank in DC battling some of the most vile people you can imagine. I volunteered for medical research, and WRIISC care. Fought leading researchers to move forward who got tunnel vision. Tought myself molecular medicine and organic chemistry to solve my own issues. Built my own medical lab. Served on a VA federal advisory committee. Got media others could not. Only to find myself where I am today because the system is so backwards and cruel.
VA would be damn lucky to have me in the research medical community and it treats me like garbage. Even after my presentation to the VA RAC about tissue collection based on my own fight.
VA does not want creative people, it wants employees that tow the line – don’t stand out. It punishes imagination and brilliance. Executive branch have become tyrants.
I’m sorry I don’t paint a rose colored portrait folks. Happy happy joy joy. But my own medical care and benefits have been the fight from hell that never seems to get better. PACT act is a lie after I went to gambit with it.
I don’t expect much, but I’m super tired of substandard care and how dare I speak up.
VA is in trouble and it needs a shake down to fix it. I’m the Guinea pig being thrown in all the time hoping for better while the firewall stays up. Your not seeing what I see at the levels I do, and just how bad the executive level had gotten.
More of the same isn’t working. Wanted real change, not zombies sitting in cubicles.

What VA needs is experience, what it will get is desperate people who will lie to keep there jobs. Then run off people that figure them out. Decimate the ranks further the way they do at 810 Vermont Street. The good people who care will be out numbered by the ones that hate the jobs and take it out on others. If they dont clean out legacy personnel in DC it will never hire brilliant people that can upstage them. Attrition is killing them.
Dont get me wrong, there are some great folks in VISN 17. But, there are far more people I deal with that grump and are very unpleasant versus the ones that are polite. The polite kind people dont last as its too much for them. You end up with the sour pusses that stay on because they cant leave, no one wants them. Its too hard now with Covid and the people who take, not give. The great people try too hard and burn out so fast.
In 2013 Sec of VA Eric Shinseki pretty much ran everyone off. Then they made him resign. It set off a chain of events VA never fixed. Weve had several bad Sec of VA. Jesse Brown was a really good one, Anthony Principi. Then we got some real duds like the current one Denis McDonough doing real harm. With him as your boss, attrition will be horrendous. He takes it out on the good employees and blames them. Like he did with the Temple VAMC. Blame game. The worst kind.
