At work this year

[Norbert]

We had a temp working in our finance department. She was very personable seemed to be working out well enough that they wanted to hire her permanently. But when they did the background check they found out she misrepresented her education on her resume. Not only was she NOT hired, she was terminated from her temp position and walked out the door. I hope this was an important lesson for her as she continues her working career.

So, if Linda McMahon couldn't get hired where I work because of a similar infraction, why is she getting vetted for Secretary of Education to the point that her interviewers may face the potential loss of their jobs if they don't make the 'right' decision?

1. If we get rid of the Department of Education, like one senator has just proposed, why do we need a Sec of Ed?

2. Her job is to destroy the Dept of Ed and put herself out of a job.

3. Trump is choosing people for his cabinet who couldn't get a job

mopping floors at Burger King. He couldn't get a job mopping floors at Burger King. When I applied for the last job I had before I retired, they not only checked my references but wanted my decades-old college and grad school transcripts; they did a criminal background check and I had to take a drug test. Seems like none of those basic checks to get an ordinary, low-profile civilian job are necessarily for a powerful position controlling a major government agency. Huh. Who knew?
