– Tim Herrera (DIERSEN: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I transferred from
IRS to GAO. GAO audits IRS. Even though much of what I had done working for IRS
for almost 9 years was similar to what I would be doing working for GAO, to
justify forcing me to accept a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to
transfer, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and
subordinates painted my transferring from IRS to GAO as being a career change.
They ignored, belittled, badmouthed, demonized, denigrated, and condemned the
fact that I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b)
almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from
DePaul, and c) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. They would not have done that
if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

FORBES
— AARP Spikes Investigation Into Age Discrimination By The U.S. Government –
Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives,
and their dupes in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage
County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, etc., a) the federal government has never engaged
in any kind of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination,
age discrimination, or retaliation and b) all the adverse actions that my
Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors took against me were justified
because I am a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist,
bigot, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for
all.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/patriciagbarnes/2019/12/02/the-aarp-spikes-investigation-into-age-discrimination-by-the-us-government/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
AARP has spiked the publication of an investigative story about systemic age
discrimination in recruitment and hiring by the U.S. government. The 4,000-word
story is one of two articles that the AARP commissioned for the January 2020
edition of the AARP Bulletin. The other story, said to be an overview of age
discrimination in employment, is still slated for publication. The AARP, which
has 38 million dues paying members, did not respond on Sunday to requests for
comment by email and telephone. Why would the AARP, which claims to advocate
for Americans aged 50+, jettison an important story about age discrimination in
hiring by the U.S. government? A source close to the matter, who asked not to
be identified, said senior officials at the AARP killed the story due to
political considerations and to avoid risking the loss of federal grant
funding. The AARP in 2017 was awarded $74.4 million for job training services
from the U.S. Department of Labor and $9.6 million from the Internal Revenue
Service to provide tax assistance to seniors. According to Axios, the AARP is
one of the largest media companies in the country, earning more than $174
million annually in media-based advertising revenue. The AARP Bulletin has the
2nd-highest circulation in the country. The AARP and its nine subsidiaries
earned an estimated $1.65 billion in annual revenue in 2018. Age Discrimination
Little media attention has been paid to the federal government’s role in
perpetuating age discrimination in the United States. Since 2012, the U.S.
Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) has operated a program called the
Pathways “Recent Graduates” Program that permits federal agencies to
discriminate based on age in the recruitment and hiring of workers. The program
was created by former President Barack Obama in 2010 through Executive Order
#13562. It allows federal agencies to restrict applications for job vacancies
to individuals who graduated from a qualified educational institution within
the preceding two years. The program not only harms older workers by
arbitrarily excluding them from federal jobs but it sends a message to the
private sector that age discrimination is acceptable. Pursuant to a 2017
Freedom of Information Act request, the OPM said about 93 percent of applicants
hired for 92,193 jobs under the Pathway “Recent Graduate” Program from 2012 to
2017 were under the age of 40. The Pathways “Recent Graduates” Program is a
classic example of “disparate impact discrimination,” where a seemingly neutral
policy has disproportionate and adverse impact on older workers. The OPM has
said the program will continue until it is invalidated by a sitting president.
So far President Trump has shown no inclination to halt the program. A source
said the remaining AARP article refers briefly to age discrimination by the
federal government. Political Headwinds The AARP increasingly finds itself in
difficulty due to its conflicting roles as the self-proclaimed advocate for
older Americans and as the leading purveyor of supplemental health insurance to
older Americans who are Medicare recipients.)
