— After appearance on Fox News to defend patch, Prospect High School resource officer reassigned – Steve Zalusky
(DIERSEN: In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became the only active member in GAO’s Chicago office in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. To retaliate against me for that, my Democrat GAO superiors a) threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career, b) assigned me to one of the worse jobs in the office, c) gave me unfair performance expectations, d) turned my supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates against me, e) gave me unfair performance evaluations, f) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, and g) even worse things. Previously, they had a) not promoted me beyond GS-13, b) got rid of my mentor in 1987, c) kept me off audits of IRS during the first 6 years that I worked for GAO, and d) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In 1997, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”)

— How to keep your employees engaged – Bertha Minnihan, Mark Steranka, and Wenli Wang
(DIERSEN: All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government 1966-1969 and 1971-1997, I was far more engaged than my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates. I took job-related courses 1966-1981 and 1992-1997 and earned job-related degrees in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997. I served on the board of a job-related professional association 1983-1996. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981.)
