VA fires Brian Hawkins again

| September 20, 2017

Brian Hawkins was fired from his job as director of the DC VA hospital system for “the hospital putting veterans at “unnecessary risk,”” according to a VAOIG preliminary report released in early summer. The Merit Systems Protection Board ordered the VA to rehire him on August 2d.

Well he’s been fired again, according to Stars & Stripes;

The VA inspector general released more findings in August that Hawkins sent sensitive information to private email accounts belonging to him and his wife.

The office found the emails while investigating whether Hawkins had purposefully delayed an Administrative Investigative Board inquiry about thousands of dollars in employee bonuses given without justification. Though the inspector general found the investigation into the bonuses was delayed by hospital personnel, the office did not confirm Hawkins had impeded it. Inspectors did determine he sent sensitive personnel information to his spouse – a violation of VA policy.

The VA said Wednesday that it began the process of firing Hawkins again after the report was released.

Maybe he’ll stay fired this time, but I’m not holding my breath.

Just how many times does a lower-than-whale shit lowlife like him have to get fired before he STAYS that way?

AZtoVA

SEIU says “7”

HMC Ret

Alex, my answer is a number between 10 and infinity.

Once a shitbag, always a shitbag….that’s the problem…

The primary shitbag in this instance, VOV, is the damned government employees union that renders tens of thousands of shitbags virtually impervious to firing.

We need to make government employee unions illegal once again. They have proven to be just as evil as was feared before JFK allowed them to exist with an executive order.

Yep, they need to be done away with, starting with the AFGE. I remember when Ronald Reagan did away with the Air Traffic Comtrollers Union and many in the Aviation field said doing that got rid of a lot of slackers and dirtbags.

I sent this to Jonn 😀


VA: We apologise for the fault in the hospital. Those responsible have been sacked.

Federal Merit Systems Protection Board: LOL nope.

VA: We apologise again for the fault in the hospital. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

I need to find one of those never-can-be-fired Senior Executive jobs.

Tom Huxton

second best is a contract with guaranteed severance and golden parachute. Then you hope to be fired early.

Why is it that VA employees seem to have more job security than any other Civil Service employees?

MSG Eric

Because MPSB…..

Green Thumb

Ask “Turd” Jeff Stacey, “The Dick” Richard Hipolit and the rest of those clowns in the VA’s Offices of Regional and General Counsels.

Marion Barry’s spirit lives on

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

So he will be fired for the second time.

Well, he will be re-hired on appeal, and then finally fired for ever.

It is called “three strikes” and you are out program.

Maybe we should spread the word out that BRIAN HAWKINS HAS DIRT ON HILLARY CLINTON and might be called to testify?

MSG Eric

If he does I doubt he’ll make it to Capital Hill. He will end up shooting himself in the back of the head 2-3 times in a dark alley.

HMC Ret

Police will describe it as the worse case of suicide they have seen….he’s waste of freaking space.

A Proud Infidel®™

Or three bullets to the head and they find his corpse in some park wrapped up in a rug, some people associated with the Clintons ended up dead from stranger “suicides”..

Thunderstixx

He’s got that damn white privilege thing going for hi…
Oh wait…
Ummmmm…..
Never mind…

As a federal employee, I like the fact that I don’t have to kiss ass to make sure no one arbitrarily just fires me without due process, but WTF?!?

jonp

Want to reform the VA? First step is disbanding that damn protection racket of a Board.

old98z

Too much fiber in someone’s diet. Circles the bowl but does not go down.

Also, has gold tie. Will float back up at ‘prosperity leader’. Will be asking for your dollars soon in a gofundme or church hall near you soon.

don’t like the post? GFY and eat me raw.

Mark Lauer

You can’t fire him again….he’s still black! That would be racism.

USMC Steve

Tell the crooked bastard that this time they are upping the ante, and filing any criminal charges they can come up with. Then tell everyone whose info he compromised what happened so they can sue the dude. That ought to keep him busy for a while. If he is fired for acting outside the lawful scope of his duties, the government does not have to provide him a lawyer when he gets sued, so there is more money out his pocket.

Green Thumb

Some turds just will not flush.
