it's paid to meet or exceed your objectives as defined at the beginning of each year. And one of the executive's objectives should have been reducing the wait time for veterans asking for help. They got a big fat F- on this one.

The VA still has a shitload of paper files to convert to electronic media AND their computer systems suck. As in 1980's suck.
