[nfbmi-talk] Job Opening - Central Office Receptionist

Fri Oct 7 17:05:05 UTC 2011

Hi Joe,

I am, obviously, in favor of clear, blunt and pointed  descriptions of those
things at MCB that need changing.  I am also outraged about the
mismanagement and waste of the vast resources of the Commission, including
the people, money and facilities.  Great outpourings of emotionalism on a
continual basis without action has diminishing affect and benefit.  From one
friend to another, let's begin to develop a constructive activism which puts
some action into the rhetoric.  We will not be taken seriously if all we
have to offer is words upon vitriolic words.

It is clear by demonstration by capable totally blind people that this job
is one that can competently be done.  I truly want blind people to apply for
this job.  I'm afraid this thread may discourage people from applying.  If
blind people are, indeed, discriminated against, then, we can take action.
If no blind people apply, then, those who hate blind people and do not
believe in us have won and we have reduced  opportunity to change things.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Yup. Again it might just be deamed an administrative hardship or an undue 
financial burden for the Michigan commission for the Blind to actually hire 
a qualified blind person for this position.

I am outraged as most might guess that the very agency that requires all 
sorts of bells and whistles and basic accountability for some blind folks 
cannot apply these same principles including basic accounting, let alone 
basic accountability for itself.

The outrage continues in the writings of the agency itself. Nothing has to 
be proven. This is a renegade operation run by scofflaws and runs contrary 
to every principle of law, every notion of fair play, and totally contrary 
to its fundamental and taxpayer funded mission.

I'm growing of the opinion and am not kidding here that we would be better 
off in shutting the whole thing down, and taking the federal revenue as a 
dole for all blind Michiganders. If these clowns and malfeasant 
administrators and class disscriminators keep this up then we would not be 
worse off than to simply cut out the "middle man" and give each and every 
blind person here a check.
