Maximus Inc. Ruby Williams bullying, paranoia, incompetence, corruption and cronyism Rancho Cordova, California

25th of Dec, 2011 by User678592

Let me start by saying that my workplace is riddled with nepotism, bullying, paranoia, incompetence, corruption and cronyism - you get the picture. And, sorry to say, but our HR Department is the most severely afflicted. I work for Maximus Inc, California Health Care Options (HCO) a government contractor. I believe that because sacking government workers is harder than sacking private sector employees, bullying can easily become a tool, for getting people to leave "voluntarily". HR Special Assistance Ruby Williams came up with a hit-list/blacklist of a couple of dozen people who were "problem cases," mainly because they had stood up to her bullying or questioned her incompetence and abuse of her authority. My first question is whether such a list is legal or normal practice at Maximus Inc.? - It reminds me of Joe McCarthy. My alleged transgression is to have mention to one of her snitches how rotten my workplace has become. She is certainly using/abusing this as a means of cowing me, humiliating me and pushing me to leave, which of course I would love to do, if only there were more jobs around.
I have never been in such a situation - or in such a thoroughly fetid workplace.
Any advice any one can provide would be much appreciated.
