ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969, virtually all
those who were promoted were Democrats, and virtually all of them were minority,
female, and/or younger.)

be required to get promoted at IRS and GAO. But IRS and GAO dropped that
requirement because of pressure to meet Affirmative Action quotas/goals/targets
and too few minorities and women took/passed the examination.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/dec/12/wisconsin-countys-threat-to-journalists-came-from-/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A
Wisconsin county’s ridiculed resolution that sought to dictate, under the
threat of prosecution, how the media could report about a contentious water
study was the brainchild of a neighboring county’s top official, newly released
records show. . .The records show that Meyers sent Grant and Lafayette County
officials suggestions for the resolution, including to stress to the media that
“under no circumstances are they to be allowed to glean information and
selectively report it in order to twist results.” “Maybe make the press sign a
cooperation agreement,” Meyers wrote to Lafayette County economic development
director Abby Haas and Grant County Board Chairman Bob Keeney. “Threaten to
prosecute them for slander.” His suggestions also included censuring board
members “caught distorting information intentionally.”)

newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped
slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an
automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires,
automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972;

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-tricky-role-of-the-ceo-in-a-new-era-of-social-responsibility-11576170755
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As to
the experience of workers, there tends to be more self-congratulation among
CEOs than honest self-reflection. Top executives “genuinely believe they are
doing everything they can for their front-line workers and therefore don’t have
a bad jobs problem,” Katie Bach and Zeynep Ton of the nonprofit Good Jobs
Institute wrote last month in Harvard Business Review. “But they aren’t and
they do.”)
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: The Key to Retaining Your Best Employees – Hal
Gregersen (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that I must
have been one of the federal government’s worse employees because of the
adverse actions that the federal government took against me. My Democrat GAO
superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair
performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of
my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13,
got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the
almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%)
pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS
superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions
in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem
claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and
disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. However, the federal
government would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me and
instead, would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I
was 40 years old in 1988 if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)
