DIscrimination, Nepotism, Incompetent managers, time fraud - IT PM NIH Employee Review

While there are many opportunities to contribute to make a difference, there are equally number of old school employees and managers who are stuck in their positions and don't allow progress. There is no fair opportunity for job growth based on qualifications. Managers engage in discrimination and retaliation against their employees. Some employees engage time in fraud where they don't even show up to work while others abuse telework by doing little to nothing when working from home. There are positions that are designed to park FTE's until they decide to retire. They have no responsibilities other than to collect paychecks. This costs government and ORF millions of dollars. Overall environment is very toxic and management is well aware of problems but unwilling to do anything to enforce existing policies or provide oversight. They follow basic unwritten policy of no news is good news and look the other way. Some managers cheat, copy ideas, and get credit for work performed by their employees. Some even copy entire email text written by someone else and forward it up the chain as their own hence stealing ideas and getting credit for something they did not contribute. One manager told me once, if you have ideas go somewhere else. We don't care about ideas here at (ORF)
