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.

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job.

— Supreme Court issues stinging defeat to unions – CARLOS GARCIA (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonstrated their hatred of unions, of former union members, of current union members, and of future union members the most. I would focus on those who stress that I was a union member for almost 12 years of the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government. My Democrat superiors took many adverse actions against me. GAO did not unionize until 2007. I worked for GAO 1980-1997. Had GAO had been unionized, my Democrat GAO superiors might very well have not been able to a) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) give me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, c) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promote me beyond GS-13, e) get rid of my mentor in 1987, f) keep me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and g) force me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— AARP Applauds U.S. House Vote on Bipartisan Bill to Combat Age Bias. Legislation Restores Longstanding Legal Protections for Older Workers. (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who promote age discrimination the strongest. They stress that my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors did not promote me to GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, or Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. They ignore/belittle the fact that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. They stress that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They hint/imply/argue/shout that the aforesaid was not because of political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination, but because I am an extremely bad person. They ignore/belittle the fact that 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. They hint/imply/argue/shout that because I had the aforesaid degrees, professional certifications, and professional license and IRS and GAO still got rid of me proves that I have always been an extremely bad person. They stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran and that I am 100% German American. In my defense, I have been married since 1978 and I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants 1983-1996.)
