Down and Out at the EPA

Abstract

Translate Article

This tale is of a bureaucrat-turned-innkeeper. He had "sleepwalked" through his job for years, a high salary and comfortable environment having made it too comfortable for him to leave. Ironically, he would have never left unless he had been given a push--having been threatened by the agency as a direct result of the integrity of his actions. But he has never regretted leaving the Washington bureaucracy, which remains immobile, but in which the cogs move on.
