2 Likes

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke released the National Park Service figures two months ago at a Grand Canyon news conference intended to highlight widespread complaints of harassment and workplace discrimination within the agency.

Zinke indicated he will reduce instances of harassment and workplace discrimination at the Department of the Interior by shrinking all publicly administered lands and National Parks by 48-75% over the next year.

Zinke said in a statement Thursday he has “zero tolerance for any type of workplace harassment…”

“…from anyone occupying an office in a shape other than oval.”

Well, SecInt Zinke should get on a chartered plane and investigate this.

Zinke said in a statement Thursday he has “zero tolerance for any type of workplace harassment.”

He further elaborated, “Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount that we can accept, more than we are prepared to admit.”

Did they honestly expect anything less from Aryan Zinke?

Huh. At this point, it would be irresponsible not to speculate about the true purpose behind EPA Pruitt’s soundproof privacy booth…

Has the Secretary taken a position on the rumors of cannibalism in the Department?

The rumor is no, but that’s just a rumor.

And that doesn’t even count the shit like “reassigning” scientists who are too vocal about global warming to, e.g. the accounting section.

Note the dates on this survey – conducted January to March of this year, about the previous year. In other words, this was the condition of Interior when Zinke took over. Question now is, what will he do about it apart from simply shrinking the agency?

Time to lower the garrison flag to half mast.

Yes, I was going to come over and say, too, that this was a survey covering 2016, before Zinke was appointed. I am not surprised about the allegations. I’ve read about the macho culture in the parks.

The fish rots from the interior.

Zinke is hinky.

Emmanuel Macron has invited numerous American scientists to come to France to work and has put together very generous grant packages. A few dozen of our top scientists have already accepted.

The brain drain begins…

BTW, Macron’s far reaching project is called Make Our Planet Great Again. I love the knife twisting and salt rubbing.
