— Teacher licensing tests come under fire in Illinois – PETER HANCOCK (DIERSEN: I became a licensed CPA in 1981 when I was 32 years old. Needless-to-say, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious. While some of them had taken the CPA examination, while some of them had passed the CPA examination, while some of them had applied to be licensed, none were licensed CPAs. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had worked for GAO for little over one year. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970.)

In its 4-page nasty February 1978 article on me, to paint me as being grossly overpaid and undeservedly filthy rich, Money Magazine referred the studio condo that I owned in the Outer Drive East building in downtown Chicago 1974-1976 as being my pied-à-terre. I bought that condo so that I could walk to work at IRS and to graduate business classes at Loyola. I traded it in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo in 1976. I lived in a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972 full-time 1972-1974 and weekends 1974-1976. Starting in 1974, I unsuccessfully tried to sell it. I rented it out 1976-1984 because I was unable to sell it for a fair price. I sold it in 1984.)

They had a) given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) not promoted me beyond GS-13, d) gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

HARTFORD COURANT
— Despite a good law, age discrimination is still common – JOE CARBONE (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-carbone-age-discrimination-0324-20190324-5abuapcslbbdhm5xxbr64weo3i-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research from AARP indicates that nearly two out of three workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job. While few doubt its existence, even skeptics acknowledge that it’s unlike the age discrimination of the past. This class of discrimination is subtle, seemingly invisible — but it has gone viral. There are scores of economists and political leaders who see it as the latest inevitable fallout from the Great Recession. To be fair, technology, for all its benefits, must share some blame. Search engines do the work for you, which sometimes produces hundreds of applicants, which totally overwhelms most human resources departments. Data make it painfully clear that the insidious practice of stereotyping based on age has become a cultural norm — and shamefully, it’s flourishing. When I turned 50, I was shocked to receive a greeting letter from AARP, realizing this marked a new stage in life. Now at age 50, individuals in the job market are subject to a value comparison with younger generations. A common first step in the applicant review process is to determine age without asking. Many times, an unsuspecting job applicant will list their graduation year, use a chronological resume or an email account format that becomes a giveaway for their age. Conventional wisdom in talent search is to go younger. Some employers, perhaps many, assume that millennials will have better tech skills and little to no interest in retirement or even health benefits. So, younger folks have the advantage. This is classic stereotyping, it’s unfair, it’s wrong and it will prove in short order to have been a strategic mistake.)
