NEW YORK TIMES
— Return of the Pied-à-terre – Joanne Kaufman (COMMENT: In its 1978 4-page article on me, Money Magazine called the studio condo that I bought in 1974 my pied-a-terre. In fact, I bought the condo for three reasons. First, so that I could walk to work at my new IRS job in the Loop. Second, so that I could walk to graduate business classes at Loyola. And third, I could not sell my University Park town home without suffering a big loss.)

— Is Your Reputation Congruent To Your Personal Brand? – Jon Michail (DIERSEN: What did you do that limited your employment career? I avoided the draft. I did not major in accounting at UIC and NIU. I did not earn an MBA until I was 27. I did not pass the CPA examination until I was 30. I did not pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32. I did not become a Democrat. I did not help my Democrat supervisors and superiors get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who had not made GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I became an active member of a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. What did you do that limited your political career? I did not become a RINO. I promote planks in the Republican Party platform that my RINO political superiors want to dump including the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I did not let my RINO political superiors manipulate me or dominate me. I did not glorify and praise them. I did not pander to them. I did not serve as one of their operatives or dupes. I did not cover up their wrongdoing. I did not give them money.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ask your close colleagues whether they have heard anything bad about you recently. Be street-smart. You might not hear anything bad about yourself directly, but always keep open communication between yourself and your close colleagues and stakeholders. That way you’ll know whether they have heard any bad word about you and if you should be concerned. When you come across such a situation, have a plan to not let the situation spiral out of repair. Negative PR that is left unchallenged can be career limiting.)

In today’s dollars, GAO paid me $132,845/year in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

https://www.dailywire.com/news/only-22-of-cable-news-is-news-study

Hard news — defined as a statement of facts, or on-the-spot reporting — amounts to just 22.3% of all footage aired on cable news networks. That amounts to nine minutes, 15 seconds of hard news for every hour of broadcasting. Each hour of broadcasting on cable news networks contains nearly twice as much commercial time than hard news. Interviews with newsmakers account for another 16% of broadcast news time.)

PARADE
— Lights, Camera, Crime and Comedy! The 8 Most Memorable TV Shows From 1971 – Mara Reinstein (COMMENT: What did you do in 1971? I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. I started the year working as the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, taking a graduate business management course at UIC, and awaiting a decision on my application for a financial hardship draft deferment. That application was approved, and because of my draft lottery number, I was no longer subject to the draft. I believe that prompted Oldsmobile to offer me a job which I accepted. But when I told my Firestone boss, he immediately and rudely fired me. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $48,445/year) Revenue Officer in Chicago. But then, my Firestone boss offered me a part-time job pumping gasoline which I accepted. Before I started working for IRS and working part-time for Firestone, I went on a spring break vacation in the Bahamas. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in August. That directly resulted in my buying a new 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevy Bel Air for everyday use. At the end of the year, IRS granted my request to be assigned to its Harvey office.)

STAR TRIBUNE
— Former staff for Minnesota Republican Party allege Jennifer Carnahan created ‘toxic’ workplace. Former executive directors of state party speak out on Carnahan; NDAs voided. – Briana Bierschbach (COMMENT: I should write a book about how extremely toxic GAO’s Chicago office was during the 1980s and 1990s. The more of the following that its employees were, the more toxic that it was for them: Republican, conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, if your ancestors had been in America for a long time, if you did not have a degree from an Ivy League university, if you had an accounting degree, if you were a CPA, and/or if you did not start you career with GAO. Further, I should write a book about the most toxic people in the following: a) Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party since 1999; b) TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012; c) Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee 2003-2011; d) Illinois Center Right Coalition 2003-2007; e) American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, 2001-2004; and f) Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois since 1978.)
https://www.startribune.com/former-staff-for-minnesota-republican-party-allege-jennifer-carnahan-created-toxic-workplace/600088972/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Minnesota Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan has presided over a toxic workplace culture and unchecked sexual harassment in the state party, according to a growing number of former staffers and activists who have leveled allegations against her. Four former executive directors of the party released a lengthy statement on Wednesday saying Carnahan “ruled by grudges, retaliation, and intimidation” in the party, often withholding prized party data to help candidates she preferred to get a “leg up.” The statement said she retaliated against those who spoke out against her, often trying to prevent former staff from getting other jobs. “Carnahan created an extremely toxic work environment, often yelling, demeaning and questioning loyalty,” the former staffers said in a joint statement. “We would be reprimanded if we did not glowingly ‘pump up’ and stroke the ego of Carnahan in our rare public appearances.” The four former executive directors — Becky Alery, Andy Aplikowski, Christine Snell and Kevin Poindexter — said they were able to speak out after the party’s Executive Board voted Sunday to void nondisclosure agreements that they said Carnahan used to silence staff. They added their voices to a widening chorus of people calling for Carnahan to resign from party leadership, including well over a dozen state legislators, three Republican governor candidates and five members of the party’s own executive board. Carnahan has said the allegations are part of an effort by her detractors to “relitigate” the 2021 race for party chair, when she won a third term. The 15-member executive board is meeting Thursday night and will take a vote of confidence in Carnahan’s leadership. Ten votes are required to remove her as chair. Many have cited Carnahan’s close relationship with Anton “Tony” Lazzaro, a prolific GOP donor and activist who was arrested last week on federal charges of sex trafficking. Lazzaro became deeply involved in state politics through his friendship with Carnahan. Since his arrest, other allegations have flooded social media about Carnahan’s leadership of the party. Multiple women detailed in social media posts their experiences being harassed or spoken to inappropriately by staff in the party, a culture they said went unchecked. “I don’t think young women are safe in politics,” said Kayla Khang, who interned for the party when she was 17 and said male party staffers had inappropriate conversations with her and frequently made comments that made her uncomfortable. She said she was warned specifically about being alone with one former party staffer.)

FORD AUTHORITY
— Previous Ford Downsizing Initiative Subject Of Ongoing Lawsuit – Brett Foote (DIERSEN: When I started working for GAO’s Chicago office in 1980, virtually all of its older White male employees had accounting degrees. To justify getting rid of its older White male employees, the Democrats who ran GAO dramatically cut the work that GAO did that required accounting knowledge. Suddenly, the following became worthless in GAO’s eyes: a) my having passed the CPA on my first attempt in 1979, b) my earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) my passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, d) my becoming a licensed CPA in 1981, e) my serving on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996, and f) my becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.)
https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/previous-ford-downsizing-initiative-subject-of-ongoing-lawsuit/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ford, like many larger corporations, occasionally has to lay people off, change up its structure, or offer buyouts to accomplish either. As Ford Authority exclusively reported earlier this week, Ford Motor Company has initiated a buyout program for certain white-collar workers and teams dedicated to ICE-powered vehicles that includes six months of salary and healthcare benefits. However, a federal age discrimination lawsuit filed by eight employees alleges that the automaker targeted high-performing, older workers during the Ford downsizing process dubbed “Smart Redesign” back in 2019, according to the Detroit Free Press. According to internal Ford documents, under then-CEO Jim Hackett, the automaker hired Boston Consulting Group and tasked it with identifying employees that would present the most cost savings if their employment was terminated in the Ford downsizing effort. The lawsuit alleges that the consulting group used an algorithm that took into account the age of employees and their years of service. The latter bit is significant because employees hired prior to January 1st, 2004, were eligible for pension payments, which have, to date, cost Ford millions of dollars.)

My father had died suddenly in 1969 and potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. The Firestone Stores Chicago District Office hired me. I asked to be assigned to the Chicago Heights store because I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My Chicago Heights Firestone Store manager would not have hired me. Sadly, he disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/07/26/another-house-democrat-vows-to-oppose-budget-that-excludes-amnesty-for-illegal-aliens/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Specifically, Correa said an amnesty via reconciliation ought to give green cards to illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as well as those who Democrats consider “essential workers,” along with others. Correa joins Rep. Jesús García (D-IL) in his pledge to oppose a budget without amnesty. Weeks ago, García said “a robust and equitable budget reconciliation deal must include” amnesty for illegal aliens. For months, Senate Democrats have been working to slip an amnesty past Congress via reconciliation. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said last week that Democrats are doing “the best we can” to ensure the amnesty is included.)
