[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1818504, member: 42463"] I think one of the problems with extension agents, and the office in general, is that people have come to learn that those kinds of jobs have little if any oversight and that they can slide right into retirement with full benefits and a pension... without really doing anything except make a show of doing the job. And sometimes not even that. So many of these jobs won't fire anyone for non-performance. It's a problem that's been growing over time. They require a relevant degree to hire, but then the person hired is practically encouraged to not show up. And of course people of low character find out that they can be hired and never have to perform... and they are the ones attracted to the job. But they still have the education in order to be hired... and if you call them on their sleazy practices without pissing them off they can become useful. Ya just have to let them know you won't be going away. I don't believe there are a lot of people that like doing nothing. [/QUOTE]
