Why would 100,000 people sign a petition calling on the White House to remove National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis for not acting on employee misconduct? I mean, he just published a book on the beauties of the nation’s magnificent park system.
The answer is simple: Sex.
More accurately, sexual harassment or other misbehavior involving sex.
In the federal government these days, instances of sexual misbehavior are like dandelions. You spot one, then suddenly you see them all over the lawn.
The woman in the picture is Alyssa Bermudez, an Army veteran who served in Iraq. She was a geospatial intelligence specialist. Her story is complicated, but here’s the gist of it. At the TSA, where she was an administrative support person in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA), she claimed repeated sexual harassment by a fellow employee. In her complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Bermudez said she found herself moved to a different office doing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, put on administrative leave, then detailed to the Office of Security Operations. From there, she was fired five days before her year-long probationary period came to an end, on April 30, 2015. Yet a performance evaluation dated Sept. 30, 2014 shows her receiving a 4.8 out of 5.0, which qualifies as having “achieved excellence.” The termination letter, from John Beattie, the executive director of her home office OIA, described a person who could barely get along with anyone.
She has also filed an Office of Special Counsel complaint against then-OIS Deputy Assistant Administrator Eric Sarandrea for the dismissal.

ReplyDeleteMakes sense... the national park had an issue of this nature with an employee of theirs in this area, a few years back... I wonder if they allowed that one to be swept under the rug.

ReplyDeleteLast time I flew I opted out of the body scan. The POS fat sloppy untrainable TSA agent made some smart @$$ comment about it. I look over and see that my wife did not opt out and he was looking her up and down. When she walked through the scanner he took 5 steps back and leaned over a counter to look at the screen. If we were not going on a very expensive none refundable vacation that day I would have knocked his @$$ out and taken the consequences. So sick of being treated worse than livestock.
