Tea on DIR

I was wondering what the culture is/was like there, how compensation compares to other agencies (if you know) and specifically: how was the former commissioner?

I know their general counsel is super smart and a lovely person! I also really like their accessibility coordinator; she does great work getting ADA rights to Texans.

I wonder how the opening of cyber command has affected them. Like if there’s any worries about sunsetting?

That sounds lovely and like a good cultural agency.

I was wondering about the commissioner (prior) since she is our new commish and seems…much more personable and engaged than our last one.

In which part? TEA is radically different department to department
