Yes, resume inflation is a problem for everyone. It inflates expectations for Blacks and deflates the achievements of those who really are high fliers.
Plus, of course, there is the not inconsiderable fact that it’s a form of lying.
I’m not even referring to traditional “puffery” that one might engage in when seeking a job; I’m talking about preferred minorities listing actual credentials they’ve been awarded but haven’t earned. I’ve had an employee who received a masters in Accounting who knows little to no accounting itself; he is a good worker, but has no analytical or problem-solving skills (required to reconcile bank accounts and such). I genuinely sympathize with him because he feels he should be “higher up”; at one point he left for a better job and was let go from there shortly after - I guess the HR at the other place didn’t know how to screen “preferred minorities”.
In a horrible economy/job market like this, employers can quickly separate the wheat from the chaff; when the fat is trimmed from budgets the tokens are the first to go. I’ve seen it in two of my last jobs, and for many of those laid off it comes as a complete shock. It is the first reality they are confronting; they had serious delusions about the value they provided to an employer (and don’t even think of the employer/employee relationship in those terms).
Reality is not a black strong point.
The only thing they call reality is whiteys fault..
Why confront reality when whitey is available to blame? Black reality-dodgers can always count on naive, white libs to excuse their failures.
Today’s Democrats are doing what old-tyme Democrats like Nathan Bedford Forrest, Theodore Bilbo, and Byron de la Beckwith could only dream of-destroying the black race.
I love Walter. He speaks common sense.... which unfortunately is all too uncommon these days
I see what you’re saying but they didn’t have to agree to embrace it as a lifestyle.
Much easier to blame whitey.
Doesn’t solve anything.
But much easier.
I would hope New Jersey Freepers are getting on board with Garry Cobb. His message is that LBJ and the Great Society killed the black family and its time to fix that mess.
One more stat. Only 10% of black kids will reach age 18 with both parents in the home...
I would love to know the effect of public assistance on these figures.
Great movie! Heard rumors that libs may try to ban it, so we bought a copy. Good stuff.
Reality is hard. Especially when there is a political party that has told black Americans that they are powerless victims and may as well vote for democrats to get free stuff.
Not gonna happen, Walter.
Bump!
LBJ's GREAT SOCIETY!!!!
