People are paraded here and judged? Also, don't take what I wrote out of context. I am from California, my family lives there - this is the reason I am open to positions on the West Coast. Leaving NYC would be very difficult. I don't pretend to think the DOE is perfect by any means but you are making a lot of assumptions based off of my LinkedIn profile - and using words like pathetic is just rude. Also, I am no "official" - obviously. I work in an office, trying my best to do a job well. Just like a lot of people.

Please remove my profile from this website.
