Internally, SSA is a big mess when it comes to Asian-American federal employees working for the Social Security Administration as they are being discriminated at an alarming rate.
SSA has been a declining federal agency which has always touting social assistance and societal equality but the unwelcoming disrespect and the hostility is worsening. The ethnic rank-and-file who do not belong to one of the BIG THREE group are feeling the heated aggression big time including from their own AFGE union reps against lower-level Asian-American field employees. It is so rampant that it forcibly pitted some tokenly chosen Asian-American supervisors to be equally or exceeded the viciousness toward these unrepresented employees.
Based on this discriminatory culture, it is the only way for many SSA supervisors to prove their management prowess and self-worth recognition by harassing other Asian-American employees. The agency would also look the other way when it comes to lack promotion or retention of those Asian-Americans who are promoted. From Boston to Dallas/Fort Worth Area field offices and throughout, the worst places for those unfortunate Asian employees. This whole unchecked discriminatory culture within a much declining USA federal government agency.
