— FRONT PAGE: What a Drop in Promotions for Black Workers Says About Corporate Diversity Efforts. A push to elevate Black men and women into management roles is losing ground in big companies. – Ray A. Smith and Vanessa Fuhrmans (COMMENT: All my coworkers who my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors promoted over me were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time and who a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no job-related professional license like I had.

But it’s better than the alternative. – Allison Schrager (COMMENT: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, my life changed completely when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. Because my father had died suddenly in 1969 and I needed money to help support my mother and brother, I accepted a job offer from IRS.)

According to them, I was forced to take early retirement in 1997 when I was 49 years old because I am an extremely bad person, that is, because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.

LADDERS
— The dark side of experience: what do you do if you’re overqualified? – John Anderer (COMMENT: Government, politics, and Democrats are all nasty/vicious. The more job-related graduate degrees, professional certifications, and the professional license that I earned, the more that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors used those qualifications against me. While I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. My Democrat IRS superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that even though I had the aforesaid qualifications, because I was an extremely bad person (White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, draft avoider, and even worse things), they had not promoted me beyond GS-12 and they had taken adverse actions against me in 1974 and 1978. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. My Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that because I was an extremely bad person, if I had not had the aforesaid qualifications, they would not had hired me, they would not have promoted me to GS-11, GS-12, or GS-13, they would have taken more adverse actions against me, and they would have forced me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 in 1993 instead of 49 in 1997. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors were extremely frustrated that I got married in 1978 and that I have stayed married ever since because that did not fit their extremely bad person argument. My Democrat GAO superiors were further frustrated that I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996 because that did not fit with their extremely bad person argument. To paint me as being an extremely bad person, my Democrat IRS superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied to get a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971 and my Democrat GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about wanting to have children and about what my wife and I had done to try to have children. I should write a book about the aforesaid. Better yet, I should sue my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors.)
