GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Should I write about my critics/opponents who do bad things that get into the public record and then punish me for my not covering that up? According to Wikipedia, “A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence, or other embarrassing information. Research has distinguished personal cover-ups (covering up one’s own misdeeds) from relational cover-ups (covering up someone else’s misdeeds). The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Perpetrators of a cover-up (initiators or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty, or a crime.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-up – Dave Diersen

I would focus on those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who use their operatives and their dupes do their dirty work. – Dave Diersen

But to give preference to one group is to discriminate against another group. Because younger White men are ever-increasingly crashing and burning, fewer and fewer and fewer of them are “marriage material.” Back in the good old days, that is, the 1960s and 1970s, before I got married, even though I was a White male who had to work his way through college, I was able to a) graduate debt-free with a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) earn a master’s degree when I was 27, c) buy new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, and 25, and d) buy a new townhome when I was 24, a studio condo in downtown Chicago when I was 25, and a one bedroom condo there when I was 27. When got married when I was 29 years old in 1978, my salary was $106,785/year in today’s dollars.

They opposed anything and everything that might hinder their hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I remember when GAO’s older White male GS-14s (currently $136,414-$177,341/year) wore black arm bands at work to protest GAO’s efforts to get rid of them. GAO soon got rid of those employees who wore those arm bands.)

— Next Version of E-Verify Will Bring Big Changes – Roy Maurer (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) promote illegal immigration big time and b) vehemently oppose E-Verify.)
https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/talent-acquisition/everify-plus-big-changes-2024-pilot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The proposed features for the newest version of E-Verify would fundamentally change the way employment eligibility verification is conducted, according to a proposal from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). E-Verify NextGen—scheduled for release in 2024—integrates the Form I-9 process with E-Verify, the government’s electronic employment verification system, and shifts much of the process away from HR and to the new hires themselves. Employers must currently complete a new Form I-9 for each new hire and enter the information into E-Verify if they are enrolled in the program. “The proposed changes are significant,” said John Fay, an attorney and director of product strategy at Equifax Workforce Solutions. Fay was able to participate in a demo of the product. Using E-Verify NextGen, new hires would electronically enter their biographic information, citizenship or immigration status, and acceptable identity documents into E-Verify using their myEverify secure personal account. Once the employee’s identity and employment eligibility are confirmed by the system, the employer would be notified and can finish the verification by examining the documents—remotely, if taking advantage of the new alternative verification option. The submitted information will be used to create a completed Form I-9 available for download and storage by the employer. The current process relies on employer participation to correctly enter information on the Form I-9 and then transcribe that information into E-Verify, a practice which is less secure and sometimes results in data entry errors which can result in E-Verify mismatches, Fay said. “The idea behind NextGen is that the employee will be less likely to make a mistake with their own data,” he said. In addition, new hires would be notified if further action is needed to determine their employment eligibility, removing the employer’s primary role in the mismatch resolution process. Employees would receive notification of and resolve E-Verify mismatches directly with the government without requiring the employer to be an intermediary. This would create a more secure and private process that can speed up case resolution, according to USCIS. “The fact that employers are not involved in the process may sound appealing, but I know that employers have a vested interest in the verification process and will want to have a role in the process, so that could be an issue,” Fay said. Another new development is that employees would be able to carry their verification status with them when they change jobs. Currently, employees and employers must complete a new Form I-9 and enter a new E-Verify case—if an employer uses E-Verify—each time the employee starts a new job. “A key feature of NextGen is to allow employees to save their information in their myE-Verify account to be used for future employers,” USCIS said. “Once they receive their unique reference code from a new employer, the employee can simply update their information if necessary and complete the NextGen process with their new employer.” Fay said this feature—which still needs to be worked out in practice—is a common-sense approach. “If I’m a U.S. citizen and change jobs as much as some people do these days, why do I have to continually go through employment verification?” he asked. Overall, Fay said that E-Verify NextGen will be very useful for those employers still completing I-9s on paper. “For them, if they are also using E-Verify, it is a very manual process,” he said. “This will be a more seamless experience.” But Fay said that he’s not sure if E-Verify NextGen is the best option for larger employers because it doesn’t offer everything that an electronic I-9 system does. “Without a true electronic I-9 system, you still have to store the forms somewhere, you still have to do reverifications, you still have to make corrections and purge forms,” he said. “NextGen does not do any of those things. For many larger organizations, the electronic I-9 process is connected to the onboarding technology, the applicant tacking system, the payroll provider, which are all part of an integrated workflow. NextGen is not there yet but it’s good to see the government is moving in that direction.” E-Verify Required for Some E-Verify is voluntary except for federal contractors and in certain states which require all employers to use it, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. But evidence shows that E-Verify compliance is rarely enforced at the state level. Those employers not using E-Verify will still be required to complete the Form I-9 for new hires. Experts believe that the process enhancements included in NextGen are meant to be an incentive for more employers to voluntarily use the system. “The government is absolutely signaling to employers to consider using E-Verify because it can make the onboarding experience smoother,” Fay said. “It also plugs in nicely with the new alternative virtual procedure.” E-Verify NextGen will not replace the standard version of E-Verify for the time being and E-Verify employers will be able to choose which process they will utilize—the current E-Verify process or the NextGen version.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Stop asking amateurs to oversee public transit – Editorial (COMMENT: GAO audits IRS. Instead of me, GAO assigned amateurs to audit IRS. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. My coworkers who they assigned to audits of IRS instead of me knew little or nothing about IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO back then certainly did not want Republicans like me to work on audits of IRS. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: How Republicans Echo Antisemitic Tropes Despite Declaring Support for Israel. Prominent Republicans have seized on campus protests to assail what they say is antisemitism on the left. But for years they have mainstreamed anti-Jewish rhetoric. – Karen Yourish, Danielle Ivory, Jennifer Valentino-DeVries and Alex Lemonides (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that my Democrat superiors in the federal government (Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997) had in turning my many Jewish superiors and supervisors against me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, draft-avoider, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed a) that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, b) that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, c) that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, and d) that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. Adverse actions that my many Jewish superiors and supervisors took against me include a) disallowing my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969, b) forcing me to resign in 1969, c) disallowing my travel vouchers in 1974, d) never promoting me beyond GS-13, e) disallowing my education deductions in 1978, f) forcing me to suffer a $22.996/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, g) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, h) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, i) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and j) forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 years old in 1997.)

Unanswered questions concerning the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Who represents each of the 17 congressional districts on the committee and what is their contact information?
— Who has replaced me as the member who represents the 3rd Congressional District and what reasons have been given for my removal?
— At the IRP State Convention in Collinsville May 24-25, which committee members are going to vote on May 24 for the resolution that calls for direct election of IRP State Central Committee members?
— At the convention on May 24, which committee members are going to vote to strengthen or to weaken calls for promoting the following in the platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws including adding E-Verity, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving)?

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do political consultants in Illinois who want Republican candidates to lose advise Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders and their candidates to do? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The IRP platform in conservative. I am one of the extremely few Republican political consultants in Illinois. I have been a member of the American Association of Political Consultants since 2001. I served on the board of directors of its Midwest Chapter 2001-2004. I want Republican candidates to win. Political consultants in Illinois who want Republican candidates to lose do not advise the IRP leaders or their candidates to defend and advance the IRP platform. Instead, they advise the IRP leaders and their candidates to ignore the platform, to paint themselves as being Democrat Lite if not anti-conservative, and to give the voters what they want. According to them, Illinois voters want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and race and gender based preference giving. Far too many IRP leaders and far too many of their candidates have taken that advice and are taking that advice. That is why Republican candidates are losing elections. That is why I am extremely concerned that efforts are under way under the table to move the new IRP platform to the left.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
Call for articles. Please email to me at diersen@aol.com links to articles in which Illinois Republican party leaders, elected officials, candidates, major donors, and activists promote the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws including adding E-Verity, discouragement of booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, protection of Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving). – Dave Diersen

The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 wasted my knowledge of IRS. I should write a book about my GAO coworkers who they assigned to audits of IRS instead of me. They knew little or nothing about IRS. When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $97,079-$110,020/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt and I had earned an MBA from Loyola. The Democrats who ran IRS and GAO back then certainly did not want Republicans like me to work on audits of IRS. They succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO.)

The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 required me to suffer a $22,996/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.

— A Reliable Voting Bloc for Decades, Minorities Now Look for Alternatives to Democrats – Lawrence Wilson (COMMENT: To get votes from those who are minority, female, younger, have less money, LGBTQ, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, Democrats have always promised to give them preference over those who are White, male, older, have more money, heterosexual, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.)
Democrats, at first reluctant to see the problem, are seeking solutions. Their efforts could be too little, too late.

— Dr. Phil shuts down DEI guest advocating ‘equality of outcome:’ ‘Been tried, didn’t work, called Marxism’ ‘Your argument proves that we do need meritocracy,’ another guest told the DEI specialist. – Alexander Hall (COMMEMT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote equality of outcome big time, that is, they promote Marxism, big time. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting tremendously from tremendous discrimination against those who do not share my demographics. Those who do not share my demographics are liberal/moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, veterans, parents, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters ever-increasingly use Pense to promote more hatred against Trump.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/13/mike-pence-trump-conservative-movement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mike Pence became vice president by bearing witness to Donald Trump — the thrice-married, six-times bankrupt, once “very pro-choice” real estate promoter — as “a good man” who would “make a great president” for religious and conservative voters. “I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order,” Pence said at his first appearance with his running mate in New York in 2016, driving home the gravity of his judgment. Eight years later, Pence is asking the conservatives who followed his lead to turn away from Trump’s policy prescriptions — becoming the most prominent exile of the former president’s inner circle to speak out in an election season. When Trump suggested he would not push for a federal limit on abortion Monday, Pence called it a “slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him.” When Trump sent mixed signals on continued Chinese ownership of the social network TikTok, Pence launched a $2 million ad campaign through a nonprofit he founded demanding a Senate vote to force a sale or shutdown of the service.)

— To come into a country and/or to stay in a country illegally is to demonstrate gross disrespect for the rule of law and for that country. Of course, Democrat leaders will have their illegals use their false identifications to vote for Biden, and especially in battleground/swing states.

— If you were in high school or college today, what would give you an advantage over your peers? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

— comply with all laws, rules, and regulations,
— focus on studying and getting the best grades that you can,
— know your strengths, weaknesses, and interests and choose your best career path accordingly,
— take responsibility for yourself and not blame your shortcomings on discrimination or on anything else,
— not be sexually active or an LGBTQer, and
— not drink booze, use pot, or do anything else that harms your health.

My father often decried that he was passed over for promotions because he did not have a college degree. That motived me to take college preparatory courses in high school, get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my class, earn a bachelor’s degree, earn three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license. I did the aforesaid notwithstanding the fact that I was never viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I demonstrated no leadership potential, I could not run because I had bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I would have focused more on studying and getting the best grades that I could and I would have majored in accounting at UIC and NIU, passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did, and became a licensed CPA much soon than I did.

— ‘It’s All the Baby Boomers’ Fault’: Jesse Watters Blames Fox News Viewer Demographic for Student Debt Crisis – Charlie Nash (COMMENT: My father often decried that he was passed over for promotions because he did not have a college degree. That motived me to take college preparatory courses in high school, get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my class, earn a bachelor’s degree, earn three master’s degrees, earn six professional certifications, and earn a professional license. I did the aforesaid notwithstanding the fact that I was never viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, I demonstrated no leadership potential, I could not run because I had bone disease, my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and I had partial red/green color blindness.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/it-s-all-the-baby-boomers-fault-jesse-watters-blames-fox-news-viewer-demographic-for-student-debt-crisis/ar-BB1lmgCa
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fox News host Jesse Watters blamed “the boomers” for the student debt crisis on Tuesday, claiming it was all their fault for pushing their children to go to college and creating a surplus of white-collar workers. During a discussion on The Five about the Biden administration’s newly proposed student debt forgiveness plan, Watters said, “I figured out the reason why we’re in this situation. It’s all the baby boomers’ fault.” He explained: So, in the late 1960s, they’re the biggest generation ever and the only way you could get ahead was to go to college. You wanted to be a white-collar worker. You didn’t want to have to have a job in a factory. So when all of the baby boomers had families, all of the millennial generation, they were made to go to college, whether they wanted to are not. Little Johnny, let’s be honest, probably is not the greatest academic student, but he was forced to go to college, and even if the parents, the boomers, couldn’t afford to send him to college, he was forced to take out loans to go to college so he could be a liberal arts major and get a white-collar job.)

— DEI exists to get rid of Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote DEI. I should write a book about them.

— Nearly 40% of U.S. employees don’t trust their coworkers – STEPHANIE VOZZA (COMMENT: Virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats who destroyed Republicans to advance themselves. I should write a book about them. I would focus on those who had the most demographics that vote for Republicans including White, male, older, German American, married, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. Because they had those demographics, they were under even more pressure to destroy Republicans.)

— Change your mindset to avoid being layoff – STEPHANIE VOZZA (COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. What would I have had to do to avoid that? Became a Democrat. Happily given even more preference to my Democrat subordinates who were minority, female, younger, veteran, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Helped them get rid of their few remaining Republican employees. Not make my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates “look bad” by earning more job-related master’s degrees, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses than they had.)

— Fixing Veterans’ Preference Can Fix Federal Hiring – Angela Bailey and Jeffrey Neal (COMMENT: I am ashamed to say that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years, they used that against me big time to turn my many Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me who were veterans. They stressed what I would not have been able to do the following as soon or if ever if I had not avoided the draft: a) buying new cars (1967, 1968, 1971, 1973, and 1978), b) going on vacations to Florida (1969 and 1970), c) earning college degrees (1970, 1976, 1980), d) buying real estate (1972, 1974, 1976, 1980, 1984), e) going on vacations to the Bahamas, Mexico, Jamacia, and Hawaii (1973-1976), f) getting married (1979), g) earning professional certifications (1979 and 1981), h) earning a professional license (1981), i) etc.)

I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. But because I am a White male, employers saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. I should write a book about that.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports for which it has approved direct flights from abroad for certain inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants through February have been allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a legally dubious admissions program the administration launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to “reduce the number of individuals crossing unlawfully” over the southern border — by flying them over it directly into the interior and then releasing them on parole.)

Further, I successfully completed a major developmental assignment during 1973 and 1974.)

— Democrats eager to jail Jan. 6 rioters once shielded left-wing radicals who bombed the U.S. Capitol. – Susan Ferrechio
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/mar/29/democrats-eager-to-jail-jan-6-rioters-once-shielde/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attorney General Merrick Garland, who boasted of arresting and convicting hundreds of people who rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, signed off on dismissing the charges and quashing the arrest warrant for a woman accused of blowing up a bomb near the Senate chamber. Elizabeth A. Duke jumped bail nearly four decades ago and has never been captured and prosecuted for the Capitol bombing, nor has she faced charges for her role in bombing the Navy Yard and Fort McNair, or plotting to bomb other federal buildings, among them the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Democrats quietly helped toss her case in 2009, a move that Mr. Garland later signed off on.)

Mitchell (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat superiors in the federal government who had the most success in turning my many Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were veterans against me. They stressed to them that I avoided the Vietnam War draft by getting student deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship deferment 1970-1971. They stressed to them that if had not done that, I would not have been able to a) buy new cars in 1967, 1968, 1971, and 1978, b) go on vacations starting in 1969, c) earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970, an MBA in 1976, and a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, d) buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in 1976, e) get married and buy a home in Wheaton in 1978, f) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, g) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, h) become a licensed CPA in 1981, i) etc.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Applications for revenue-generating IRS jobs are ‘far below’ agency goals. The tax agency is facing major hurdles with its big ambitions for hiring to slash uncollected taxes. – ERIC KATZ (COMMENT: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. GAO audits IRS. I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980. I should write a book about a) how my Democrat IRS superiors wasted my career and b) how my Democrat GAO superiors wasted my knowledge of IRS, wasted my career, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. 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 earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a master’s degree in finance from IIT in 1997.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The agency has made some progress—it has eliminated barriers to posting job openings—but is still facing headwinds that are largely outside of its control. Revenue agents for those roles have “yet to be hired and onboarded,” the IG said. “External applications that have been received are far below the IRS targeted goal and there is an overall shortage of individuals with the desired background and experience,” TIGTA found. A previous IG report found that despite its new funding, revenue agent staffing had actually decreased by 8%, or more than 650 employees, between the end of fiscal 2019 and March 2023. IRS had planned to bring on 3,833 revenue agents in fiscal 2023, but in the first six months officials had recruited just 34. IRS officials are aware of the problem and are attempting to develop solutions. The agency has completed an enterprise-wide recruiting strategy for revenue agents and is “exploring options” to better promote related job announcements. “We are making remarkable progress in our efforts to transform the IRS and the pace of change is accelerating as we use the historic funding from the IRA,” said David Padrino, IRS’ chief transformation and strategy officer. He noted that overall, the agency has completed 45% of its fiscal 2023 milestones, while 55% were underway and just 2% had not yet been addressed. Still, some of IRS’ shortfalls may be systemic. Erin Collins, the National Taxpayer Advocate, warned in a recent report the IRS Human Capital Office “lacks the necessary resource investments,” including IT and staffing, to keep up with the agency’s new hiring demands. Citing the pay gap between federal and private sector employees, the taxpayer advocate said it would be “unreasonable to expect the IRS to consistently out-recruit the competition.” The agency has maintained expedited hiring authority, but even when using it in fiscal 2023 the average time between a job announcement and a start date was 110 days. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office found last month IRS is failing to detail its current and future needs, where skill gaps exist and its strategy for filling them. It has broad hiring plans and types of roles for which it will hire, but has not specified which workers would go toward high-income/high-wealth audits. IRS is also facing political headwinds. Congressional Republicans have decried the hiring as a “power grab,” and the agency itself has warned its workforce could be facing a “cliff” in several years when IRA funds are set to expire. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., even wrote a letter to Americans imploring them not to apply for the forthcoming jobs. Collins suggested IRS invest more in using the Pathways and Presidential Management Fellows programs to recruit employees. She also said the agency should consider contracting with recruiting firms to help it bring in candidates for higher-grade positions. Collins noted IRS has made significant gains in hiring for customer service positions—the agency completed a total of 34% more hiring actions in fiscal 2023 than the previous year—but said the outstanding problems threaten what it is trying to accomplish. “If the IRS does not make significant changes, these staffing shortages will compound and pose significant threats to federal tax administration and taxpayer rights,” the taxpayer advocate said. The challenges do not come as a surprise: Collins and former officials—including Danny Werfel, who has since once again become IRS commissioner—warned when the IRA was passed that fulfilling the agency’s staffing goals would present significant difficulties. IRS is also looking to develop flexible work options, but TIGTA found in its new report that progress in that area has been delayed. The agency is still looking to onboard a project lead in that area and is determining what is feasible based on other agency practices. The Treasury Department last month mandated that employees work from their offices at least 50% of the time. The agency is also creating a pulse survey to establish a baseline on employee morale, while officials have presented to the Transformation and Strategy Office three options for improving employee recognition and educating managers about rewards for staff.)
