— Workers don’t share Democrats’ nostalgia for unions – Michael Barone (DIERSEN: GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized in 1997, I might still be a GAO employee. I was a union member 1966-1969 while I worked for the Post Office and I was a union member 1971-1980 while I worked for IRS. Overwhelmingly, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are filled with hatred against unions, against current union members, and against former union members. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonstrated their hatred the most against unions, against current union members, and against former union members.)

Nevertheless, 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. I should write a book about those in the following who have been the biggest bad mouthers and backstabbers since 2000: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrislowney/2021/04/20/treachery-trust-and-courage-how-to-avoid-organizational-hell/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Every large organization, for example, suffers at least a few back-stabbers who badmouth or undermine colleagues, or who take credit for others’ ideas, or who play office politics by fomenting tribal rivalries that pit work teams against each other. Such soul-deadening behavior has hellish organizational consequences: productivity erodes, employees become alienated and unhappy, and so on.)
