The whistle-blower is still working at some app store, and the administrator who illegally crucified him is still on payroll. Meanwhile, thousands of reports of wrongdoing are "resolved" quietly by that office. What exactly is getting better?
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoLots of wrongful terminations end with the wronged employee still working elsewhere. There's limits to what we can do to fix that. Similarly, the guy is still technically on the payroll pending an appeal to the head of the DoD, which is a fair procedural step because we don't want military heads to simply can IGs they don't like. However, having a high-level civilian panel investigate the behavior of their IG and having the military head of the agency immediately fire him based on their report is a serious turn-around on how much of this has been handled to date. Even if the civilian authority ultimately reinstates the IG, I suspect that the same admiral who fired him is making quieter moves to shake up the military command, who form the backbone of NSA operations. For a group who used to be referred to as "No Such Agency" to publicly fire their IG after inviting civilian oversight and inspection is a signal of an internal shift in policy.
