DEI racism in action.
This has been going on in our government, forever.
“””””””””””””
Yep at least back to the time Columbus sailed the ocean
blue in 1492. The new comers changed this land as they
rounded up the natives, placed them on reservations, went
to Africa and brought in their natives to do much of the
grunt work. What’s next? Living in outer space, taking
injections/pills for nurshment and who knows what else.
Racism is fine as long as it is against the White Race.
Yes, you are right! Ever since “affirmative action.” I know many superior candidates turned down based on skin color alone. The jobs went to inferior performers and the less qualified. Thank God the president finally got rid of affirmative action. The decades of damage is done. I how it’s not too late.
nothing new here.
the left has been doing this for 10-20 years in higher education and across the various industries.
f*ck the left
Oh, I doubt it’s gone - it’s just going back to the previous out-of-sightline mode it was running on. The woke + ‘white privilege’ sales job was a huge over-reach. The DEI crowd thought they had completed the takeover with Biden election cheat and went nuts implementing their agenda.
They’re getting a smack on the nose now, and we’ll see how it goes.
Keep punching!
I know the feeling. I was turned down for not being diverse. A friendly insider who was rooting for me to join their team told me on the down low. Instead, they got a nice inexperienced younger diverse person who could not do the job and had several accidents in the first year. Yeah. I found a position at another company which turned out to pay more in the long run.
“... we don’t know why we failed because we don’t get any feedback.”
You failed because you didn’t meet the racist Obama’s pigmentation test, Oscar. That’s the bottom line.
google search: “does the military need permission from next of kin to release a name”
No, the military generally does not need permission from the next of kin to release a service member’s name, but they are required to notify the next of kin before publicly disseminating information about a casualty, respecting their privacy and providing them with the news first; this is due to privacy laws and the sensitive nature of casualty notifications.
IOW, the information you want will be released in the near term. Typically, the military will respect the wishes of next of kin for a limited period of time. Not everything is a conspiracy.
It's a questionnaire much like the questionnaires other employers give you. It asks about your choices, your behaviors, high school grades, and so on.
It's not a new idea. The FAA was giving 'biographical assessments' in the 1970s: https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/21231
Someone put the 2014 biographical assessment online. Go ahead and answer the questions yourselves at the link below.
Here are my results:
I FAILED the 2014 FAA Biographical Assessment with a score of 108. Do you have what it takes to become an ATC, unlike me?https://kaisoapbox.com/projects/faa_biographical_assessment
APPLICATION STATUS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT FAA-KAI-24-TRACEWG-69420 Score: 108/179
Thank you for submitting your application for announcement FAA-KAI-24-TRACEWG-69420. Based upon your responses to the Biographical Assessment, we have determined that you are NOT eligible for this position as a part of the current vacancy announcement.
The biographical assessment measures ATCS job applicant characteristics that have been "shown empirically" to "predict success" as an air traffic controller in the FAA. These characteristics include factors such as prior general and ATC-specific work experience, education and training, work habits, academic and other achievements, and life experiences among other factors. This biographical assessment was "independently validated" by "outside experts".
Many candidates applied for this totally legitimate position and unfortunately we have fewer job openings (0) than there were candidates. We encourage you to apply to future vacancy announcements. Thank you again for your interest in the Federal Aviation Administration.
With that said, there have been other problems with the 'biographical assessment.' One is that people take the assessment online at home where they can cheat or help each other.
Fair question, and since I’m making a generalization it would speculation on my part.
1. A big distinction between the unwilling and unable.
2. Unwilling would seem persons satisfied with status quo. Perhaps for example a person who is happy on the rung of corporate ladder they’ve reached and no longer needs the title to feel satisfied with their level of success. To your question these probably could care less.
3. Unable would be those who may aspire for greater success. Perhaps an example would be a distance runner that developed cardiovascular problems and can no longer do a marathon. Or in context of the stories posted today, a prospective Air Traffic Controller scoring 100% on his qualifying exam, only to find that his skin color, something he can not control, eliminates him from being hired. That nonsensical standard would be infuriating. I think the unable segment knows frustration very well.
Just my $.02. Now I’m off to work on a different higher standard, climbing a ladder 20 some feet to paint my hallway. ‘Urban Sunrise’ also known as light gray.
Couldn't they even have simulated air traffic with their own planes to ensure that if something did go wrong, it could be controlled?
