WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Lawmakers: Obama’s hiring of political appointees ‘deeply troubling’ – SUSAN FERRECHIO  (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.  IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.  The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/lawmakers-obamas-hiring-of-political-appointees-deeply-troubling/article/2603443
(FROM THE ARTICLE: House and Senate lawmakers Monday called for changes to federal hiring practices that appear to be fostering political favoritism in the Obama administration, by making it too easy for political appointees to become career federal workers. A new report issued by the Government Accountability Office found that out of 69 cases in the Obama administration where federal appointees were able to convert political jobs to career federal service positions, a quarter of those hires “did not follow proper procedures intended to prevent improper political favoritism.” The process of political appointees converting their appointments into career positions is known as burrowing. “The nonpartisan watchdog’s findings that one out of every four political appointees who burrowed into the executive branch during this administration did not follow the rules is deeply troubling,” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said in a statement. “One of the reasons the federal government has laws on merit-based hiring is to prevent cronyism and political favoritism,” said Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Chairman John Thune, R-S.D. “GAO’s finding that the Obama administration hasn’t consistently followed these rules is troubling.” The GAO found that among the 30 agencies reviewed, 28 reported “converting 69 individuals from political to career positions from January 1, 2010, to October 1, 2015,” and among those, 17 were hired without required review by the Office of Personnel Management. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, called for the administration to impose “a more stringent process,” for hiring employees who began as political appointees. The largest number of appointee-to-career federal employee conversions took place at the Department of Homeland Security.)

FORBES
— Mark Kirk And The Failure Of GOP Moderates – Chris Ladd
http://www.forbes.com/sites/chrisladd/2016/10/03/markkirk/#218d229b5c09
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois sent a Republican to the US Senate in 2010. Mark Kirk won in an otherwise solidly Democratic state by positioning himself as a unique brand of Republican. Voters saw him as a courageously pragmatic voice, a counterbalance to the extremism sweeping the GOP elsewhere in the country. Senator Kirk has been a bitter disappointment, slipping into the timid habits of the party’s other moderates. Now Illinois voters are about to bring him home. Sending Mark Kirk to the Senate has accomplished nothing for Illinois other than to empower outrageous characters like Ted Cruz and Jim Inhofe. When Senator Ted Cruz held the entire country hostage to his filibuster of a budget compromise, how did Kirk protect his constituents? By sitting in the background, waiting for a green light from Senate Republican leadership to end the filibuster. Kirk did nothing to mobilize opposition to Cruz’s goals or tactics and never opposed him publicly. Like other reasonable Republicans in Washington, he kept his head down, missing every opportunity to rally sane, pragmatic Republicans into a relevant power bloc. When Senator Rand Paul organized a bizarre, paranoia-laden rant of a filibuster to halt the appointment of the CIA Director, Illinois voters might have expected their Senator speak up for their interests against the “whacko bird” caucus. Instead, Kirk brought Senator Paul a snack. Contrary to popular belief, the Republican Party still retains a core of solid citizens with the country’s best interests at heart. Many of those Republicans, like Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rob Portman, occupy positions from which they could affect change in the party. Unfortunately, sensible Republicans have consistently been spineless in the face of opposition from the party’s fringes. Elect a reasonable figure like Mark Kirk and he will meekly place every ounce of his (your) power and influence in the service of the carnival barkers at the party’s extremes. Speaking to audiences in Illinois, Kirk has been proud to support immigration reform. In Washington, silence. In Illinois, Kirk has claimed to embrace scientists’ positions on climate change. In Washington when he could have taken a stand that mattered, he blinked. Facing friendly audiences in Illinois Kirk admits to being pro-choice. When he gets to Washington his pro-choice credentials are hidden in some obscure Senate closet, only taken out be used on votes with no consequence. Kirk has refused to support Donald Trump, but like almost every other prominent Republican he has done so quietly and ineffectively, in a manner calculated to deliver the weakest impact. On issue after issue, Kirk lines up with Illinois voters until he leaves the state. In the face of opposition from other Republicans in Washington, Kirk takes the safe route. Blind to the irony, Kirk has made “courage” the signature of his campaign for re-election. His remarkable recovery from a stroke, which features at the center of his campaign message, makes his Senate record all the more awkward. Kirk struggled back to health in the face of  paralysis, eventually scaling several flights of stairs in the Willis Tower in a remarkable demonstration of grit and determination. Clearly the man possesses a powerful well of courage. Where was that steely force when Illinois voters needed it? Kirk will claim that he’s been courageous in taking a stand with Democratic Senator Menendez to impose sanctions on Iran. What courage does that take exactly? What powerful, well-funded lobby supports Iran in Washington? In Washington, “taking on Iran” is about as courageous as taunting an asthmatic kid on the playground. It would take actual courage for a Republican Senator to champion a rational response to climate change or gun violence. That is the force Illinois voters thought Kirk would bring to bear on their behalf in the Senate. Instead, Kirk has trained his courage on a politically impotent force, one of the least popular countries on the planet. Kirk has reserved his courage for political targets that won’t fight back. In private, sensible Republicans who occupy influential positions in Washington will claim that they are doing all they can. They will claim that they are carefully picking their battles. Climate change, immigration reform, and restructuring the tax code are issues they would like to push forward, but the party at the national level is not ready for sound solutions. These timid moderates are right about the party’s serious problems. Their complicity is making the party’s sickness more severe. Sensible figures like Susan Collins and Mark Kirk have come to play a toxic, enabling role in the GOP’s descent into madness. Their placid party loyalty lends credibility to outlandish characters like Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz, Steve King and Donald Trump. Republican leaders like Kirk cannot continue to evade responsibility for the extremism they legitimize. Until someone in the Republican Party is willing to take a visible, courageous stand for sanity in the style of John McCain circa 2000, there is no reason to keep electing them. Any vote for a supposedly “sane” or “reasonable” Republican unwilling to confront the party’s extremes is a vote for those extremes. Electing Mark Kirk is a mistake Illinois voters are unlikely to repeat.)

CBS MINNESOTA
— College Republicans Paint Controversial Mural On U Of M Bridge
http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/10/01/u-of-m-trump-mural/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A student group’s mural on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus has ignited conversation and controversy. The U of M College Republicans group painted a mural yesterday in the group’s designated spot along the Washington Avenue Bridge. Dozens of student groups paint murals along the inside walls of the pedestrian level of the bridge every fall. This group’s read in part “Build The Wall,” which refers to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The sign was later vandalized with the words “Stop White Supremacy.” Multicultural groups who did not support the vandalism later gathered to protest what they called “anti-immigrant” hate speech. “There’s freedom of speech but then there’s hate speech. It’s one thing to be conservative and it’s another thing to be saying these things that are clearly xenophobic and targeting specific groups of people,” Guillermo Perez said. Perez is a member of Sigma Lambda Beta, a Latino-based multicultural fraternity that happens to have the panel next to the College Republicans. “I was really angry, angry because it’s an attack to my people because I am Mexican,” Perez said. The group responded using its own panel, which said, “Building bridges, not walls.” “We’re trying to seek, at the very least, an apology and recognition that what they did was wrong,” Perez said. U of M President Eric Kaler said while some may find the initial message offensive it is protected speech and should not have been vandalized. He released a statement saying: “During the annual ‘Paint the Bridge’ event, an opportunity for registered student groups and University departments to promote their groups by painting a panel on the Washington Avenue Bridge, one panel assigned to a student group has received attention. The panel includes the phrase from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, ‘Build the wall.’ While this is protected as free, political speech, we have heard from members of our community who find the phrase hurtful, offensive, anti-immigrant, and anti-Latinx. “People in our community may disagree with the sentiment expressed. However, while the University values free speech, the subsequent vandalism of the panel is not the way to advance a conversation. “The University of Minnesota supports a campus climate that welcomes all members of our community and our values of equity and diversity, but that also ensures the free flow of ideas, even those that are offensive to some. As students and our community participate in responses to this and future issues, I urge all of us to be respectful and thoughtful in our approach. We encourage all who find some protected speech distasteful or offensive to engage in more protected speech.” The College Republicans also released a statement Saturday. “We find it highly disturbing that someone would vandalize a simple statement such as ‘build the wall’. “We have received comments on the painting, falsely accusing us of being racist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant. Our party’s nominee supports building a wall on the Mexican border to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into this country. We understand that some students may disagree with this policy position. However, free speech is at the center of a functioning democracy, and the actions taken against our panels run contrary to free speech. It’s worth noting that numerous politicians from both parties support building a wall on the Mexican border. “President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Secretary Clinton, and Minnesota Governor Dayton have all supported building a wall on the Mexican border while they were U.S. Senators (Secure Fence Act of 2006). We look forward to students writing angry letters and reporting these Democrat politicians to the Bias Incident System for hurting their feelings as well. “Regardless of how one feels about border security or Mr. Donald J. Trump, it is never acceptable to infringe on other people’s freedom of speech. University policy clearly states, ‘Any alteration(s) to any panel by any person(s) outside of these designated time(s) is considered vandalism and subject to University Policy and/or local, state and federal laws.’ “We appreciate President Kaler’s statement of support for our freedom of speech and we expect the university to continue to uphold their commitment to freedom of speech and diversity of thought.”)

— 5 Facts You Didn’t Know About Retirement  Here are some important retirement-related facts about Social Security, long-term care, retirement savings balances, homeownership, and taxes. – Jason Hall
http://www.fool.com/investing/2016/10/02/5-facts-you-didnt-know-about-retirement.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 3. Average retirement savings will generate less than $500 per month  According to Vanguard, which manages millions of retirement savings accounts, the median balance in defined contribution plans (think 401(k) plans) it manages for people 55 and over was less than $72,000 in 2015. For context, that would only generate about $240 per month in retirement income. This only covers a small selection of total retirement savings, but even as a small sample size it’s concerning. The U.S. Government Accountability Office offers up a bigger picture look, but it’s still concerning. According to the GAO, the median age 55-64 household has $104,000 in retirement savings, while the median age 65-74 household has $148,000 saved. Sure, that’s a lot more than Vanguard’s data, but in terms of dependable retirement income, it’s only worth $347 to $493 per month in retirement income. Paired with an average Social Security benefit of less than $1,500 per month, that’s not a lot of money to live on in retirement. For millions of older Americans, there’s an even bigger concern. The GAO found that 29% of households age 55 and over don’t have any defined benefit (such as a pension) or retirement savings at all.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/elgin-courier-news/news/ct-ecn-kane-board-members-hours-pension-st-1003-20160930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kane County board members must track their hours on timesheets in order to qualify for pensions under a new law Gov. Bruce Rauner recently signed. The county’s Finance Department showed the Finance and Budget Committee newly designed timesheets that will be required to report their hours if they plan to continue with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund’s (IMRF) pension program. Under the law, newly elected part-time county board members will no longer qualify for taxpayer funded pensions while existing board members will still qualify but must document they worked the required 600 hours a year, according to a law initiated by state Rep. Jack D. Franks (D-Marengo). Rauner signed a bill outlining the changes into law late last month. Kane County board members also serve as commissioners on the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, however, it is a separate governing body that is not addressed in the new law, said John Hoscheit, chairman of the Finance and Budget Committee. The time sheet deals with county board work and must be kept by board members who want to continue participating in the IMRF pension program, he said.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Groupon to turn over workforce data in race discrimination case – CLAIRE BUSHEY  (DIERSEN: Of course, needless-to-say, EEOC wants Groupon to be like GAO.  To get Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans to apply for jobs at Groupon like they do at GAO and to stay at Groupon like they stay at GAO,  Groupon could become like GAO.  Groupon could learn from GAO by reading all the documents filed in Diersen v. GAO at https://gopillinois.com/diersen-v-gao-fifth-amended-complaint/.  That lawsuit shows that a) GAO gives preference to job applicants and to its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran, and therefore b) discriminates against job applicants and its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160930/NEWS04/160939981/groupon-to-turn-over-workforce-data-in-race-discrimination-case
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A judge has ordered Groupon to turn over workforce and hiring data to the federal agency charged with investigating companies for job discrimination. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis ruled on Sept. 21 that the Chicago company will need to provide the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with demographic information on both its workforce and the men and women logged in its job applicant database. The agency is investigating the company for racial discrimination in hiring. Groupon had been fighting an EEOC subpoena for the data, arguing that it was irrelevant, overly broad and burdensome. Ellis dismissed all three objections. “When investigating a charge of race discrimination, EEOC ‘is authorized to consider where the overall conditions in a workplace support’ the allegations,” Ellis wrote. Two-thirds of Groupon’s U.S. workforce is white, according to a company blog post. Court filings say the company has 1,900 employees in Chicago and received 25,000 job applications between Jan. 1, 2014 and the present. A spokesman for Groupon did not immediately return a request for comment. The agency is investigating a claim by Adrian Stratton, who filed a charge of racial discrimination in October 2014, after the company did not hire him for an open position as vice president of merchandising. But the successful pursuit of Groupon’s data makes the case “much more significant than just a single subpoena,” said Linda Friedman, a name partner at Stowell & Friedman in Chicago who represents plaintiffs in discrimination cases. Like Wall Street, racial minorities are underrepresented in the tech industry. The EEOC can use workforce and hiring data to analyze the racial makeup of a company’s workforce compared to the community in which it recruits. The greater the disparity, the greater the likelihood of discrimination. The agency is exercising its power to broadly investigate a company in the name of the public interest, rather than getting bogged down in the specifics of a single individual’s claim. “A lot of people feel the EEOC has been too quiet and too silent,” she said. “So it’s good to see it’s alive and breathing.”)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160930/OPINION/160929765
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago is a city of extremes. It gets very hot and very cold. We have some of the most generous and kind people I know, yet violence is exploding across the city. The tech sector is booming, yet entire swaths of the city have seen little to no new opportunities. Dependent largely upon our skin color and ZIP code—which are inextricably related—Chicagoans are either gaining in educational attainment and benefiting from rising property values and increasing income or they are experiencing the opposite. Make no mistake, the status quo costs us all: Nations with greater inequality tend to have fewer periods of sustained economic growth. Is it a coincidence that Chicago ranks in the bottom third of the world’s largest economies for GDP growth and employment? I have a bias toward optimism and action. Yes, we have problems with racism and inequality. Yes, we have an epidemic of violence. But what can those of us in the business community do about it? One obvious answer lies in jobs.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A House Republican introduced legislation to prevent the U.S. government from granting immigrants citizenship, responding to a report found that several hundred people slated for deportation were accidentally naturalized. The bill, offered by Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) before Congress departed this week for its pre-election recess, would halt any new naturalizations until the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) finishes modernizing its fingerprint record database. A DHS inspector general report made public this month stated that at least 858 people ordered to be deported were mistakenly granted citizenship because their digital fingerprint records weren’t in DHS or FBI databases. Some paper-based fingerprint records weren’t consistently converted into digital form.)

— JOSHUA NAPONIELLO: MY DAY WITH DONALD TRUMP IN BOLINGBROOK  (DIERSEN: Those who spoke very highly of Trump at this outstanding event included Roger Claar and Rudy Giuliani.  The 300+ attendees included John Cabello, Brad Cole, Dan Cronin, Demetra DeMonte, Kirk Dillard, Ron Gidwitz, Dan Hampton, David MacNeil, Richard Porter, Todd Ricketts, Skip Saviano, Tim Schneider, Mickey Straub, and Dave Tornga.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: How crazy is it that I ended up volunteering for perhaps the next president of the United States?  I mean you would have thought that by talking to Roger Claar the Mayor of Bolingbrook, I would volunteer at a Trump fundraiser! I can only say it was the best event that I have worked on in my early political life. Setting up tables was a challenge but greeting people by the door was amazing. Friendly faces, attitudes, familiar faces like (former State Senator) Kirk Dillard, (Bolingbrook Mayor) Roger Claar and (Chicago Cubs’ owner) Todd Ricketts.  I also had the pleasure of sitting next to (former New York City Mayor) Rudy Giuliani during the lunch. The speech that Trump delivered was electrifying. Reducing regulations, repealing Obamacare, and lowering taxes on the middle class. Straight to the point concise, was how his speech was, and everyone stood and applauded our future president of the United States. Unfortunately, there was a negative point, as I was called traitor and fake by Mexican protesters against Trump, yet I kept my smile and head straight up and continued to help Trump. After the event I traveled outside to see Trump supporters waving American flags and chanting “USA,USA,USA”. I got to talk to some of the Trump supporters and we discussed Trump at the first debate. Another highlight was being quoted in a Chicago Tribune story, link here https://www.google.com/amp/www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/bolingbrook-plainfield/news/ct-nvs-trump-bolingbrook-st-0929-20160928-story,amp.html  Otherwise I had a great time and learned from Trump what it means to be a leader. Joshua Naponiello is a 19 year old student at College of DuPage.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Chicago police banned from threatening immigrants under Emanuel-backed measure – John Byrne  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrats who run Chicago a) encourage people to come to America illegally, b) encourage people to stay in America illegally, and c) encourage people to bring people to America illegally.)

— Just say no to Narcan? Heroin rescue efforts draw backlash – AP  (DIERSEN: Untended consequences SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequences  “In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes that are not the ones foreseen and intended by a purposeful action.”)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–heroin-overdoses-backlash-20160925-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First responders in U.S. communities reeling from waves of heroin overdoses say some people tell them they should just say no to using so many resources on drug abusers. Authorities say people have expressed frustration about rescuing addicts who often immediately resume using the potentially deadly drug. There are also concerns voiced about the wide-ranging social and government budget costs involved, including for the overdose antidote naloxone. Some signs of heroin overdose backlash: — Gov. Paul LePage in hard-hit Maine vetoed legislation this year to expand access to naloxone, usually under the brand name Narcan. He has explained that when people are receiving a dozen or more doses, they should start having to pay for it. The Legislature overrode his veto. — An effort by authorities in Ohio’s Hamilton County to get a dangerous heroin batch off the streets by offering immunity for people who turn in drugs drew a rebuke from Sheriff Richard Jones in neighboring Butler County, who argued it only enables dealers and users and gives them an excuse if they are caught. — A police photo of a grandmother and her boyfriend unconscious after overdosing with a 4-year-old boy in their car went viral this month after the police department in Ohio’s East Liverpool posted it on Facebook, drawing thousands of comments including from people decrying lenience toward users who endanger children or steal to support their habits. — A retired attorney wrote an op-ed column in The Cincinnati Enquirer examining the costs of treating heroin addiction, the strain on public resources and the rise in “drugged driving” accidents as he urged aggressive punishment. “What social policy is advanced by subsidizing recklessness?” John M. Kunst Jr., of suburban Cincinnati, wrote earlier this year. “Why do we excuse and enable addiction?” “I understand the frustration,” said Police Chief Thomas Synan Jr. of Newtown, Ohio, who heads a Cincinnati-area heroin coalition task force. “I understand the feeling that someone is doing something to themselves, so why do the rest of us have to pay? But our job is to save lives, period.”)
— Millionaire mayor Rahm Emanuel finds $5.62 smoothie ‘a little pricey’ – Bill Ruthhart  (DIERSEN: From what I see, if you do not have at least $1 million in investable assets or if you are not track to have at least $1 million in investable assets by the time you retire, you are in big trouble financially.)

— Rauner Won’t Say Whether He Favors Amending Illinois’ Constitution – AMANDA VINICKY  (DIERSEN: Democrats run Illinois.  If they could amend the Illinois Constitution, they would amend it to get rid of individuals, organizations, and governments that are Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.  They would amend the Illinois Constitution to promote dependency on government, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, pot, booze, gambling and other vices, abolishment of the First and Second Amendments, race and gender based preference giving, age discrimination, and the rest of the Democrat Party platform.)

SAVE THE CHICAGO READER
— Help us win the fight for the Reader: its bold writing must be saved – Ben Joravsky  (DIERSEN: QUESTION: Why does Diersen send out his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails to anyone who wants them every morning and every evening free of charge and without any advertising?  ANSWER: Diersen promotes the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes, and Diersen does not want anyone to call his tunes.  Diersen can afford to donate the thousands of hours and thousands of dollars each year needed to put the emails together and to send them out.  Diersen fills a tremendous communication void in Illinois. No one else provides an email service that even comes close to what Diersen does.)
https://medium.com/@savethechicagoreader/help-us-win-the-fight-for-the-reader-its-bold-writing-must-be-saved-346102289da2#.5t2605vze
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As much as I may not like to admit it, I’m the old guy on the Reader staff. And so I’m writing on behalf of all the employees in our guild bargaining unit. My first Reader story – a freelanced restaurant review – ran in 1977, before many of my current colleagues were even born. I started covering politics for the paper in 1984. I’ve been a staff writer since 1990. That’s long enough for me to have learned a thing or two about what makes this paper so great. Yes, the Reader runs provocative theater, music, film, and food criticism, but just as important, its editors give writers the freedom to tell it like it is, even if we irritate the hell out of the powers that be.)

GAO
— Federal Workforce: Lessons Learned for Engaging Millennials and Other Age Groups (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors focused on a) hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) making way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-16-880T
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With more than 30% of federal employees eligible to retire by 2019, a lot of jobs could open up that the current federal workforce can’t fill. So, the government needs to recruit and retain the next generation of workers. Strong employee engagement—a positive feeling about one’s employer and its mission—tends to help agencies hire and keep employees. You might think that millennials are less engaged than other age groups, but the data in this testimony showed that engagement doesn’t vary much by age. Engagement increases for everyone when agencies demonstrate that they value their employees.)

— Diversity Workshops Try to Get Friendlier to White Men  The sessions can cause a lot of stress. Here’s how to get the message across without alienating people. – JOHN SIMONS  (DIERSEN: To promote diversity is to get rid of Republicans, and especially Republicans who are Protestant, conservative, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— How Men & Women See the Workplace Differently  A new report finds they have vastly dissimilar perspectives—and experiences—at work. Here’s what companies can do about it. – Nikki Waller  (DIERSEN: My critic/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a woman in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a woman could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a woman in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted women in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a woman in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a woman in 1986, and g) that GAO should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a woman could have my job and my preferred corner office.)
http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-men-women-see-the-workplace-differently-1474970085
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Men and women go to the same business meetings, have the same colleagues, strive for the same jobs up the ladder. Yet a major new study by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Co. shows that men still get more promotions, more challenging assignments and more access to top leaders. And while growing numbers of women are negotiating for raises and promotions, they also face pushback when they do. A Journal Report looks at the different worlds that men and women inhabit at work—and what can be done to make them more equal.)
