The Way I See It: Department of Health and Human Services Video

First, let me say that I have not nor will I waste time watching the DHHS videos.  I am more disturbed over the fact that Mr. LePage says that the "interviewer was not properly trained".  I believe that no matter how much training you have or how many years you have worked in a job, there is ALWAYS the chance that someone will try and get away with something.  In the 20+ years I worked in retail, I occasionally had people who tried to pull a "fast one" on me.  Sadly, no matter how much training you have, the unexpected can always happen.  What makes this worse is that this was a setup, complete with a hidden video camera.  To blame the employee in this case is stupid and Mr. LePage should know this.  However, given his background as manager of Marden's stores, he proved his incompetence as both a governor and representative of the state...again.  Sadly, Mr. LePage (and I will not address him as governor because he is NOT my governor - I did not vote for him and never would) thinks that his "experience" as a store manager gave him all the training he needed as governor.


Well, Mr. LePage, you are sadly mistaken, just like all the other retail managers I have worked with and known over the years.  If anything, you fooled 39% of the voting people last year who voted you as governor, the other 61% knew better.  I wonder if that person who was the client was one of the 61%..my guess would be yes.  


As far as the incompetency of the DHHS employee, I would say they were probably very capable in their job, unlike the governor.  As I will explain in a future post, I believe scammers are more of the norm not the exception


So, in conclusion, Mr. LePage, unless you personally know the DHHS employee, you are best not to say anything at all rather than insult them as I can speak from personal experience. Better yet, just shut up for the next 4 years and accept your one-term (or shorter) life as governor.


And that is the way I see it...
