CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— This is not a farewell column. (I’m really sorry!) So off we go. – REX HUPPKE
(DIERSEN: According, to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, employers offer buyouts only to their “bad” employees who they want to get rid of. Have you been “offered” a buyout? In 1993, when I was a 45-year-old GS-13 GAO employee who had 25 years of federal service, the Democrats who ran GAO “offered” a $25,000 buyout to all their employees, including me, who had 25 or more years of federal service. They made it very clear that they wanted all eligible GAO employees to take their “offer” who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The $25,000 buyout expired in 1994, but in 1997, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)
