— Student debt forgiveness isn’t worth a toxic workplace – Michelle Singletary
(DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office
1980-1997, they increasingly made the office toxic for its employees who were
Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and who had not made GS-13
(currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15
(currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently
$165,500) by age 40.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I
made a promise to myself early in my career. If my job ever became so
unbearable that I got stomach cramps at just the thought of walking into the
office, it was time to quit. But what if staying in your crummy job is the only
way to have tens of thousands of dollars in student debt forgiven? This is the
issue vexing a reader, who asked me during a recent online discussion: Should I
stay or should I go? “I’m a federal employee with five years left to loan
forgiveness,” the person wrote. “I work in a toxic office and have been trying
for several years to find a job in a different agency. I was recently offered a
two-year term position that would be in a new practice area with supervisory responsibility
and a fairly significant pay raise. But I would lose the ‘golden handcuffs’ of
virtually guaranteed employment and risk losing six-figure loan forgiveness if
I don’t find a permanent position during the two years. Is it worth it?”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: China
effectively expelled a Wall Street Journal reporter from the country, one month
after the newspaper published a report detailing allegations that a cousin of
Chinese leader Xi Jinping was involved in high-stakes gambling and potential
money laundering in Australia. Chinese authorities told the Journal on Friday
it would not renew press credentials for Chun Han Wong, a Singapore national
who has covered Chinese politics out of the paper’s Beijing bureau since 2014.
Those credentials expired Friday. China sometimes withholds or refuses visas to
punish international news organizations for what the ruling Communist Party
perceives as unfavorable coverage. But the decision amounted to the first time
in recent memory that the Chinese government has effectively turfed out a
reporter from the Journal, a publication generally known for incisive but
evenhanded coverage of the country.)
