FBI needs to hire deaf employee

**Chevy57** · 08-24-2010, 02:07 PM

The Federal Eye reported last week on an Office of Personnel Management employee who sent an e-mail seeking a volunteer with sign language skills to assist a new hire who is deaf. Although OPM says it provides interpreters, co-workers were hoping a volunteer would teach them basic skills so they could better communicate with their new colleague. What acts of generosity of spirit have you witnessed among your colleagues?

I remember that Sue Thomas was retired from FBI.

Why? Does she like to volunteer? That seems to be what the FBI wants.
