9781434361837: A First Hand Account of Discrimination in Civil Service (1997-2007): Glass Ceilings for the disabled in Federal Civil Service

Synopsis

My book is a diary about the steel-reinforced concrete roadblocks put in my path, and the paths of others, to prevent me (us) from making a career of Air Force Civil Service because I (we) became disabled on the job. It also shows the problems laden upon disabled employees as time progresses. I did everything in my power to overcome these obstacles but lack-of-knowledge, on the part of people called specialists at our civilian personnel office, basically nailed my feet to the ground at the opening of every single door.

Biographie de l'auteur

I'm 6' 6" tall, 270 lbs, a little on the muscular side. I have grayish/dirty blonde hair, deep blue eyes, a mustache and beard. I lost my job (retired) in the Air Force reserves in 2003 and Federal Civil Service in 2006 because of a workplace injury sustained at Altus AFB, OK. I've worked as a data switching networks manager, system administrator, system engineer in charge of network/computer security, avionics sensor system specialist, licensed practical nurse, secure communications specialist, a communications/navigations specialist, chopped wood, book store clerk, appliance repairman/salesman, ice cream truck salesman, and general handyman. Currently, I'm stuck at home editing and trying to get my diary published because I firmly believe that it might stoke some fires and help others. This is my first book and I hope that it does great things for me and for others.
