Too much emphasis on EEO. Got to the point where EEO promotions superceded promotions for performance. That's based upon several personal experiences where ratings were superior but less accomplished performers were rewarded better. Politics were very pervasive across many areas. Frequently outsourced work when it could have/should have been done internally. People were better qualified and it frequently cost much more, especially when long term service contracts were inmplemented to support outsourced work. And I'm not talking about the EDS contract
