— Can my boss tell me how to vote? – Greg Giangrande
(DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. While I worked for the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, IRS’s Chicago office 1971-1980, and GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, virtually all my superiors and supervisors were Democrats. I should write a book about the aforesaid who made it the most clear that they wanted me to vote for Democrats. I would focus on a) my Democrat GAO superiors who forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) my Democrat IRS superiors who did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974; and c) my Democrat Post Office superiors who forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

(COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, the more planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs get rid of you. Expect that Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs will do everything that they can in 2024 to get the Illinois Republican Party a) to dump the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in its platform and b) to dump party leaders, precinct committeemen, voters, etc. who support the aforesaid planks.)

They subsequently expanded to also serve women, various ethnicities, gay people, veterans, individuals with disabilities, plus interests such as mental health and the environment. – Roughly 90% of major U.S. employers currently have ERGs, says Mr. Martin, based on the productivity institute’s research. He says the research also shows that the proportion of those employers with at least 10 groups has risen from a decade ago.)

My GAO mentor hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me in 1986. But my Democrat GAO superiors got rid of him and my career crashed.)
