Feds Look To Hire Up To 1,200 New DEI Bureaucrats Before Trump Takes Office
The Daily Wire ^ | 17 Dec, 2024 | Luke Rosiak

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

They are all on probation for one year and can easily be fired.

These are likely promotions for career employees that have already served probationary periods. The better way is to abolish the entire department and RIF them.

Does someone have to go through all minority government employees to determine if they were DEI hires? This could really backfire on the communist left.

Don’t quit your day job if you take one of these.

The communists never miss an opportunity to scheme, plan, and implement their continuing tyrannical control over the the American peasantry...

Whereas the Republican party has mastered “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory”, the Communist party has mastered “snatching victory from the jaws of defeat”...

The 1980-1992, 2000-2008, and 2016-2020 are classic examples of the difference between the Communists and Republicans...

Until the end of January then the lights go out.
