Govt worker, management is sketchy.. what to do?

[AliB1959]

I work for local govt. My division boss seems to play by her own rules, lets noone in on the direction of the division and my boss (2nd or 3rd level manager) is a minion. I work for a "poor" div of govt (health and human services) and I'm afraid I've pissed the div boss off and I'm history after 14 yrs of govt service. (I've heard they take an innocent transgression and blow it huge to demote a person to min wage, from $30/per hr) or worse - fire them for IT reasons - which everyone gets spam!

Frankly, I'm scared. The person is a menace IMO. Old boy society ranks. I'm "unrepresented" and make really good $$, but I've done my time. Any advice? I've got 2 kids at home, I'm single (divorced) and feel like an indentured servant. It's not pretty right now.

BTW - I see a huge need in the Sr/Elderly/Baby boom populations, but I don't see a way to fill their needs without a huge infusion of cash. Lots of the people I try to help are living on SSI, SDI = less than $1000 per month... it's really heartbreaking. Those that have a few assets are forced to use them up to qualify for benefits, but the only folks we can help are below poverty level. This situation really stinks!
