Agencies Setting Up Their Own Employees

I have to say, the fact that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is using a matchmaking program as an incentive to keep agency employees happy, strikes me as a little strange. Not that there's anything wrong with people finding happiness, in fact, it's great. But I'd be curious to hear more about how the program is prepared to deal with things like sexual harassment claims, or the impact of breakups on the workplace, since from what Chief Human Capital Officer Jim McDermott says, it sounds like the pairings that have resulted are between agency employees, rather than between agency employees and folks who work outside NRC. And even if it's said in jest, isn't there something a little odd about a CHCO saying this about his employees?

"Now, engineers study a lot in college. They neglect very important extracurricular activities. My girls went to school with engineers, [and] they said, 'Dad, they don't know how to dance, they don't know how to dress, they don't even know how to talk.' "

Isn't that a bit stereotypical? And doesn't it ignore the fact that there are, you know, female engineers?
