Are we ready to admit that Woke & DEI and woke wasn’t what was holding you back from success?

LOL you’re definitely not getting a promotion.

Okay, I say that with a caveat, if you’re a gun-toting MAGA bootlicker like Winsome Sears, and there’s room for one more token POC then the job is yours.

highlighted the DEI for you

The touchy-feely people who fall for DEI-related nonsense aren’t likely to join the military in the first place, so it was a bad fit.

Military recruiting is doing better because young people can’t find jobs anywhere else.

+1. Destroy the economy. Destroy higher education. Folks have to turn to jobs in the military or head down to the swamps in Florida and work as ice agents. Thanks Maga, such wonderful opportunities.

What’s wrong with working for ICE? All they are doing is enforcing our democratically-passed laws.

What's wrong with going to college and getting a good education and starting your own business and employing people in the economy instead of sucking off the government teat for your job?

Not everyone wants to go around dressed like a masked thug and harassing soccer moms and incarcerating them in a swamp in Florida to earn money. Just because you would enjoy that doesn't mean it's for most people.

Wow. Way to insult the entire federal workforce.

You are a real nut-job.

I worked as a contractor for a dozen years and saw the results of fed.gov

Basically nothing gets done and the private sector can do what the federal workforce is trying to do in a fraction of time. It's just a bunch of gatekeepers and bureaucracies that fight each other for turf and a steady pay check. It's a constant clusterf.

If you actually think that you don’t have anywhere near the knowledge of federal work that you think you do.

Look, not everyone is going to make it through the hiring process, you don’t have to be bitter about it. Mostly the contractors get treated well even if most of them don’t know their head from their rear.

Not all agencies are the same. Where I am all the contractors have all the institutional knowledge while the government employees go to meetings and count beans before moving on to their next two- or three-year rotation.

Yes, that’s what MAGA believes. If that’s not clear I don’t know what to tell you.

This is absolutely not true. What makes you think the black people were unqualified? Just because they were black? Most of the black people I work with can run circles around the white men. Do you know how many mediocre white and asian men I work with?

Here's a tip, scores and the "pedigree" of your college don't mean anything when it comes to getting the job done. I find that the better the school, the dumber the employee. NO common sense.

Since when are Hispanics not considered minorities alongside black people? This post is a strange attempt at fitting in with a group that Hispanics have never been part of.

The Hispanics I KNOW, which are a lot, but certainly not all, consider themselves people of color. It depends on where they grow up. I'm a black woman and my best friend is Mexican. For the Asians I know, it's a toss up.

Sadly, ICE is grabbing brown people. So, those Hispanics who consider themselves white are seriously shocked.

Is this what you people do all day? Sit around and racially profile people and then paint all people of that race with the same brush? I can't believe I associate with such garbage on a political forum. Go away.

You sound stupid. The military has always tried to reflect America and had been at the forefront of trying to help people understand differences. You need to build trust if you are going to war with them.

It was never about touchy feely nonsense. It had nothing to do with why people joined the military.

Actually it's just doing ok because young people are TOO FAT! 70% of young people who want to join the military can't because they are too fat and can't pass the aptitude test.

Oh goody another opportunity for the rich to prep the hell out of their kids and out compete anyone without those kind of resources.

There will always be that, but test prep is available online. Most don't have access to the wealth to prep the hell out of anybody but most do have online access.

People that can be trained to do well on standardized tests could be useful hires for some jobs. There may be some jobs that require other skills.

Merit from your scores mean NOTHING. Some of my worst employees did great on the SAT. However, they have the common sense of a paper bag. If you just sit at a computer all day and program, sure, your scores are relevant. If you actually have to strategize and talk to people, not so much.
