TWIN CITIES PIONEER PRESS
— Working Strategies: What Gen Z can expect as it enters the workforce. DD: Democrats run the federal government. The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, and/or veteran who would take the job. If you get hired, but are not any of the aforesaid, the federal government will waste your career and get rid of you. Because I failed/refused to become a Democrat, my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors took many big adverse actions against me and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— DD: My Democrat superiors in the federal government who took adverse actions against me acted like they had absolutely no personal liability for what they did to me. I should write about them.

I would focus on my Democrat IRS superiors who a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. I would focus on my Democrat Post Office superiors who a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump administration Is seeking to reassure federal managers and supervisors that their agencies will back them up legally if a subordinate pursues litigation over a poor-performance appraisal or firing. In a memo to agency chief human capital officers, managers and supervisors last week, the Office of Personnel Management stressed that federal managers face “extremely limited” personal liability in instances where they seek to measure and improve employee performance.)
