This guy is really a messed up person with no real life experience to help veterans. So I go ask him for some help what he cant see me. Oh even better they hired him because he was some admission councilor at The Evergreen State College. Wouldn't you think they would hire someone that actually knows how to do service work or someone that is a past service officer.

I'd think so but that's just me. I guess the Director is up to his old tricks of hiring whomever he wants regardless of their qualification or experience. I think it also has to do with individuals in leadership at WDVA that have graduated from Evergreen need to keep their friends employed because it so rough out there.

This guy needs to be fired and he has no compassion or drive to help veterans like myself. Hey Director Lee why don't you fire this guy right now.  Wow what a joke of an agency to know that they really don't have any type of morals and hire the lamest person out there. Now the past manager was so much better Alex. This individual Alex was a team player and always tried to help me and fellow veterans. So this is not a knock against this agency because they have hired great people like Alex in the past. Just they are not doing it now.

This guy is not trying hard enough to help vets

AUTHOR: Jimmy from T-Town - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, December 28, 2012

I saw the same guy (Rafael) this time behind the glass of the front office at WDVA. he couldn't take the time to come out and talk to me about my concerns. I know that he probably sees a lot of veterans like me in a day, but just a suggestion maybe try and be polite and courteous to people like me seeking help. Yep, me trying to get some help from the state for my VA claim. I was also told that the VIP fund doesn't cover me. Great I just needed some money to try and lineup a job. Instead of telling me just no you don't qualify I left. I actually came back a few days later and talked to the guy who is a work study and he had the answers. Why is the student/work study not the boss. Sounds like I can agree with the last person who posted on here no compassion and no drive to help vets like me. Does this guy know what it is to be a disabled person and also a veteran. Next time, Rafael could you at least come out greet me and then give me bad news. I think the Director of the state agency has a good heart and he just hired someone that doesn't have those same values. Funny, because next time I stop by I will ask how many people graduated from Evergreen here?

Next time I think I will look up the names of some local VSO's veteran service organizations in town and go see them and don't waste my time with Rafael and WDVA.
