Yes but there are hiring quotas in government. The managers are told that, not in blunt words necessarily. We have hiring goals. We want more diversity. More women. More minorities. We put these first before white males.
Which is why you see these more inept, less capable, more folks doing this as a welfare/quota job.
“The managers are told that, not in blunt words necessarily. We have hiring goals. We want more diversity. More women. More minorities. We put these first before white males.”
Not true. There are already plenty of women and minorities in the federal gov’t—look up the stats. I don’t hire by race or gender. I hire by excellence. The last 10 hires I’ve made were mostly white males (I’m a white woman, if that matters), but two of them were black females and a few Asians as well. For the younger ones without a lot of experience, I look carefully at their college, their major, and their college GPA. It’s easy to pick out the most excellent candidates by resume and interview. I’ve been happy with all of my hires. (It’s the staff assigned to me who OTHERS have hired who are the low performers.)
