— Trump’s fall on billionaire’s list was most-shared 2021 Facebook post – UPI (COMMENT: In 1980, my Democrat IRS superiors and my Democrat GAO superiors assured that all my IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, subordinates, and everyone else knew that they had succeeded in forcing me to take a $20,901 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer from IRS to GAO. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that a) proved that IRS was grossly overpaying me, b) proved that IRS had promoted me too soon to GS-9 (1972), to GS-11 (1973), and to GS-12 (1974), and c) proved that what I had learned working for IRS was worthless. In my defense, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. Further, if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female, GAO would have offered me a promotion to transfer from IRS to GAO.)

(COMMENT: Democrats run the federal government. To better help them hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority and/or female, the Democrats who run the federal government have dramatically lowered and made more subjective federal hiring, federal retention, and federal promotion standards. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. 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. I should write a book about my Democrat IRS and GAO coworkers and subordinates who my Democrat superiors promoted over me who had less job-related work experience, less job-related education, and/or fewer job-related professional certifications and licenses.)
