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.)

— Beck’s decision to abolish merit promotions could shortchange blacks and Hispanics, aldermen warn Aldermen Chris Taliaferro and Ariel Reboyras say it makes no sense to abolish a tool used to diversify the Chicago Police Department’s supervisory ranks. – Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: The federal government uses the subjectivity in its promotion systems to promote its employees who are Democrat, and especially those who are minority, female, and/or younger. Passing the CPA examination used to be required to get promoted at IRS and GAO, but that requirement was dumped because too few minorities and women took/passed the examination.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2019/12/11/21011299/chicago-police-charlie-beck-merit-promotions-aldermen
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Taliaferro contended the department needs to find some middle ground to elevate and cultivate a new generation of police leaders who may not be the greatest of test-takers. “You’ll see a class of 100 officers [and] without merit

[promotions]

, you’re gonna see probably 80 to 90 of those being white. … You have folks who work very hard but may not test well. . .Sources said Mayor Lori Lightfoot agrees with Taliaferro about the need to find an on-the-job alternative to merit promotions to elevate black and brown supervisors who may not perform well on written tests.)
