Back? Meh, merit will never be a thing until there is flat out blind hiring. Give managers qualifications and interviews without faces. Then we can focus on merit.

Not quite. You’d also need to eliminate names, possibly colleges, social organizations, etc.

Y'all groveling over DEIA and calling it "useless". But remember, DOGE will be mandating each agency to cut spending and work force by a certain percentage. Your job may be next. Everyone's job is "useless" when they can privatize it to their tech bros in private industry LOL

And then they'll suddenly find "ethical fortitude" and say ethics rules say you can't get fired from your federal position and go directly to a contractor to work the job.

action to terminate, to the maximum extent allowed by law, "

so basically the question is-what does law or federal job safeties allow?

I am so hoping they are offered laterals.

It’s not truly about “merit”. Republicans just want to protect their own.

there are many administrative roles with similar skill requirements (e.g., management of staff) but without the DEI focus. I'd imagine that in many settings the skill set is the same. The people being lateralled would just do other functions, using the same skills and qualifications.

I think people believe the federal government is like academia where these positions had obscure dei requirements in the job posting and only had dei skillsets. In our agency they just added dei to existing HR positions

The Department of Veterans Affairs placed 60 DEI employees on leave pending their removal.
