The first hearing -- this one in SJC -- on the DOJ IG report will start shortly.

I hated my Boss, every single one of them. They were morons who cut corners & didn’t follow procedures. They wanted to hold me accountable for things that they failed to do. I wish I had a boss w/integrity. When I emailed it was paper trail to protect me not like those nuts lol
