DoE moved from 14th place in the 2021 rankings, up to eighth place this year for midsize agencies. “It’s human nature to try and explain away unfavorable results.

As the Federal Drive does every two years when the list comes out, host Tom Temin gets executive analysis from the man who runs the GAO, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro.

A recent decision from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has allowed a lawsuit against the U.S. Air Force to move forward as a class action suit. It involves a group of current, former and prospective civilian employees who are also deaf. They claim that the department did not provide some basic accommodations that it is required to by law, which made it even more difficult for them to communicate these concerns to management.
