I have never worked for this company but the company I work for competes against them.
Looks like the competition may thin a bit.

Another example of our tax dollars at work and company greed.

And I love to compare this to their "Code Of Conduct".
Per BB - "All great companies are measured on what they stand for and we are no exception. Our Code of Conduct captures the way we operate."

Sounds like Reuters captured how they operate.

I have no problem if you pass these articles along. This kind of stuff makes me sick.

Thankfully these situations were never my experience. I was fortunate enough to live in government housing on military bases in at least five different places where we were stationed.

It was always nicer than any housing that we could afford nearby, because having a busy military base runs up the cost of the local housing, as there is more demand.

But you had to wait for government housing and so at several stations we never did get on to base housing, and lived in some second-rate local junk.

But that is military life, and housing never was fancy any place we lived. It was always pretty solid and maintenance was not a problem.
