I have no idea why she thought it was ok to commit fraud. She seemed to think that it was an acceptable procedure. I had trouble convincing the program chief that the procedure was unethical. STUPIDITY. But ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking the law - especially when I told them that the procedure was unethical. It shows how little I am respected at work. They named the guy who they assigned to help me as the technical coordinator for my section - he is now my boss. He isn't even trained in many of the methods we run! I've been running those methods for a decade but I'm not considered good enough to be in charge of anything. I was a supervisor for 8 years in my last job too. I'm totally qualified. What a kick in the head.
