I feel the real issue is where does the pressure come from that makes these low level workers feel that they have to “cook the books” to look better? Is this an example of if you don’t satisfy certain requirements or meet certain criteria you could lose funding for the following year?
These people did not come up with these “gaming” techniques because they hate veterans rather they are being led in this direction. From who?
where did the pressure come from in the IRS scandal?
The pressure to provide service in the 14 day window must have come from a policy.
