You know nothing about Federal Employment, only that your husband has a good job.The FCIP program, must be abolished.  The intent was to undermind those of us who have long term tenure with the agency that we have dedicated our lives to.  You have no clue.  We are not happy about the FCIP program (I’m talking 100′s of career federal employees).  It has taken away all our career promotions for all our level one officers at the Nebraska Service Center.  There are people in FCIP that are going to be promoted higher than some of us who are veterans and have up to 20 or more years of experience in federal work and Immigration training.Why do you want to save this program?  They tricked us and told us they could not guarantee us a job at our duty location, and most of us couldn’t move or didn’t want to, so we didn’t apply.  We were discouraged from applying for the job by management.  Management must have encouraged all their relatives to take a chance and they are getting ready to convert all their relatives FCIP career intern jobs  to permanent status through FCIP, thus by passing all the experience that we have worked so hard to acquire.  These people are new off the streets and don’t have near the experience that we do.It is so unfair.
