Thirty-three DEI jobs were posted in the 10 days immediately following Trump's election.
The federal government is currently in the process of hiring as many as 1,200 employees to work on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) — employees who would be embedded into the permanent federal workforce headed into the Trump administration, according to a Daily Wire analysis of federal job opportunities.
The jobs have annual salaries of up to $310,000, and could add up to total salary payouts of $160 million a year. Thirty-three DEI jobs were posted in the 10 days immediately following the election of Donald Trump, and the hiring window closes before he takes office.
The bureaucracy is scrambling to fill even high-level jobs, just underneath the ranks of “political appointees,” before the Trump administration takes over. On November 15, for example, the Department of Health and Human Services advertised for a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, to “promote health equity” at a salary of up to $221,900.
The candidate will “exercise[] leadership to ensure that all programs under their direction reflect the principles of workforce diversity.” The application window for the position closed on November 29, and the Biden HHS is currently reviewing applications before the Trump HHS. If hired, the agency’s likely head, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., will be saddled with the senior executive, who “serves as the principal advisor to the Secretary … on minority health issues.”
The jobs are all advertised on USAJobs.gov, the official application portal for would-be federal employees, and were listed with a status of “applications under review” or “accepting applications” when The Daily Wire obtained the jobs data late last month.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC) is preparing to extend job offers for two separate $310,000 positions, both of which can work from home three days a week. Its new Director of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion “leads the development, implementation, and ongoing review and renewal of the FDIC’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan. Contributes to the development and implementation of FDIC-wide operations as a DEIA advocate. Develops, coordinates, and implements DEIA policies, programs, operations, and procedures throughout the FDIC.” The person will be expected to “defend [the Office Of Minority and Women Inclusion’s] formal budget program requests.”
FDIC also has an Office of Equal Employment, which, according to USAJobs, is currently evaluating contenders for a $310,000 director who “develops Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), employee development, employee performance, and other personnel plans, processes, programs.”
If the hires are completed, taxpayers will be paying people who the Trump administration had no say in selecting, to advocate for DEI policies the Trump administration does not support. From October 24 through 28, the Federal Aviation Administration fielded applications for a specialist in its “affirmative employment” unit, at a salary of $192,000.
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion on September 25 began seeking a “supplier diversity officer” at a salary of up to $251,258. Applications are currently under review....SNIP
I hope they can be rounded up and that DOGE will let citizens throw rotten tomatoes at them before they are fired.
The Swamp is betting that despite DOGE and all the recent hype, Congress will always acquiesce to any new spending and the swamp grift will aways be protected.
Given the past 6 decades of US Government history and behavior, its not an illogical assumption.
Of course not. But the trick is to hire anybody but white people and when the inevitable layoffs come early next year, the Dems can scream about racism in the layoffs!
Good, more people to fire.
Almost all of the day to day management of the Executive Branch is in the Executive Branch.
That includes detailing federal managers and employees to the new HQ in the Aleutians with no Wifi or computers or cell phones—as just one example.
Congress can hold hearings and whine about it if they wish—but meanwhile those employees that remain are freezing their tails off in the Great North.
Lol.
A new hire can be fired for any reason during their probationary period which is usually 3-6 months.
Let them scream it’s time we stopped being held hostage to the cries of racism and all the other ‘isms’. This is how we got into this mess. The only way we get out is to turn a deaf ear to the wails of the Left and do what’s right for the country.
Last hired, first fired.....
Winning an election is not enough. We must root them out of all institutions.
Exactly.
For good.
Can Trump fire them as soon as he takes office?
Sounds like these hires are going to be temps.
If, for some reason he can’t fire them, Trump can have them doing his version of DEI:
Diligently
Exporting
Illegals
“A new hire can be fired for any reason during their probationary period which is usually 3-6 months.”
One year for civil service and still a pain to do.
Just RIF them.
we need to pass legislation clarifying that Trump can fire anyone he wishes for any reason he wishes and pass it quickly after he takes office
Even more reason to keep government shut down until 1/20/25. Hopefully hiring these people is not an « essential action »
Well there’s not enough time for them to even decorate their offices before Trump takes over ,LOL
Probably putting them to work manning the shredding machines.
