They want their operatives or their dupes to hold those positions, and if they can’t have that, they want to abolish those positions.  My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I did not deserve to be a) hired by the Post Office in 1966 or allowed to work there for almost 3 years, b) hired by IRS in 1971 or allowed to work there for almost 9 years, c) promoted by IRS in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) hired by GAO in 1980 or allowed to work there for almost 18 years, and e) promoted by GAO in 1986.  According to them, Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, poor people, and veterans should have gotten what I got.)

FED SMITH
— Federal Employees: You’re Not Going Anywhere This Year – Michael Wald  (DIERSEN: This article hints/implies/argues/shouts that if federal employees quit, they can easily get a comparable or better job in the private sector.  However, that might be true only if the employee is a Democrat, a minority, a female, younger, and/or a veteran.  Just like the federal government, private sector employers have always been under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to hire, to retain, and to promote those who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran.  Another words, the more of the following that a federal employee is, the more likely that they are not going anywhere: Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

GAO
— JOB OPENING: Student Trainee  (DIERSEN: GAO audits IRS.  I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980 after I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.  To transfer, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer an $18,847 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $71,326. Many, if not most, if not virtually all for my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should have been forced to suffer a $57,808 (64%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-4 Step 1, currently $32,365.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned  a)  my IRS work experience and that much of it was similar to what GAO employees do, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c)  my almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, d) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, e) etc.  They never would have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)
