Can you believe it? Gotta get even MORE minorities working for the government. We all know that blacks have a higher criminal history ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics_of_incarcerated_African-American_males ). Criminals working for the government, with access to all kinds of personal and government information, what could go wrong?

The slide to oblivion continues...

News flash the government don't get the cream of the crop employee sometimes due to the nepotism embedded in good old boy system. It still exists some are put on the interview list by phone call and then the good old boy doing favors for other sections selects the relative of high school buddy or from the area where the buddy system in place. All legal on paper, but back door in by th phone call.

Seen this many times at ALCs. Kelly AFB. Was good example, others also IMO almost as bad which includes probably all branches and federal employment. Seem this for 40 years and yes some were felons and still got in. If you were outsider you didn't say anything or you would be targeted.

Some places had three generations of high level management position, positions they paid 100k plus through nepotism. That why I refer to the 30% rule? 30% carry the 70% that do hardly nothing except come in late, take long lunches, and go home early.

Most hiring branches are now out of state due to the local system being corrupt. But couple years ago some was till local. I'm out of the system so hopefully it's changed throughout all federal agencies?

When I was working in Personnel for the Federal government, I once hired a man into a computer operator position. He had recently been released from prison after serving several years for manslaughter. He turned out to be an excellent employee and was promoted up through the ranks (merit promotions) and he retired as an expert in computer systems analysis. Definitely, he was a genuine success story.

And I bet there were others just as good that had never killed anyone.

Just more Chicago politics.
