Have to agree with Shawn on this. If you watch her testimony in front of Congress, it is clear that she was completely flustered at the inability to hire competent people, and the lack of her superiors to prioritize the modernization project she had so passionately advocated for. When I've worked for organizations larger than - say - four or five office locations in diverse parts of the U.S., I've started to see how difficult it can become to get all of them to coordinate on *anything*, and I'm not even talking government here. positions, which is usually much less than private industry offers and - as a consequence - they are not nearly as familiar with migrations of that size. I do not envy her position, and doubt in the ability of anyone in her position to do more than she has attempted. Give her some credit.
