Karen Huge's Rules for employees: I's officially okay to express sympathy

[elehhhhna]

Rule #4: Use common sense to respond to natural disasters or tragedies. You do not need to get Department clearance to express condolences in the event of a loss, or express sympathy and support in response to a natural disaster. Obviously in the latter case do not commit USG resources for support or relief without approval from the Department; but do not wait for Department authorization to offer a statement of sympathy unless the individual or incident is controversial.

No moral compass whatsoever. Totally devoid of compassion.
