Privacy Rights of Federal Employees

This article brings up a troublesome aspect of being a federal employee today. That is, are federal employees being unduly singled out by programs like "FedRent" because it is so easy for federal oversight organizations to gather information on federal employees from the government's own personnel information systems? Don't get me wrong -- upholding the public trust and integrity in federal employees is very important . . . but such oversight efforts should be presented with some balance to show comparable results for non-federal employees. For example, recent articles over the shameful frauds committed by a FEW federal employees abusing the federal commuter program did not present any comparisons to what is happening in private industry. Presenting such a balanced view is difficult because the fed must first obtain a subpeona from the judicial system before it can access private industry's personnel information systems, but not when the fed gathers info from its own info systems.

A few years back I worked with a woman who filled out papers to get a HUD home. She let them know where she worked but indicated a much lower salary in order to qualify for the housing. She didn't know that they also sent a letter to her supervisor and payroll office that requested that they indicate her salary. The next thing I saw was the people with "guns and badges" escorting her out of the building. She was fired. Later she was working at the local fast food place. She was lucky that they didn't put her in jail.

What a joke! Federal salaries above the national average! Ha, Ha, Ha! I cannot stop laughing at that one...
But the truth is not very funny! The truth is, Federal employees are really the most underpaid in comparison to other employees in the same positions in other government and private organizations, especially in California!
California has the most expensive housing market and cost of living in the nation. In California, a 2 bedroom apartment can rent from $800.00 a month in an undesirable part of town to $3000.00 or more a month in a more upscale neighborhood.
I think those FedRent Initiative proponents are missing the big picture or trying to hide it! We won't see any executive level federal employees indicted in this one folks!
This is just another way to target the poor and middle class!
