My husband works for the Federal Gov’t. He says if he hadn’t gotten in when he had (about 10 yrs ago) he would never be hired today as a white man. He tells me every panel needs to have one woman and one minority on it with no thought for the best person for the job. He says at this point it is nearly impossible for a white man to be hired in a govt position.

I was in a IT meeting at FTP Spftware (long gone) and one of the senior techs said there were too many white guys in the support group. I was the new guy. I said “we’ll miss you”. he didn’t laugh.....imagine that.

If it wasn't for the bank crisis, I never would have gotten into the federal government. After getting kicked out of GS-11 positions for years, I applied to the FDIC for a GS-7 slot. In Dallas, FDIC was hiring 40-50 people a month to fill temporary slots to handle the crisis.

Fortunately for me, I was assigned to a section where I basically got a crash course in FDIC operations. I went from a 7 to a 13 in 10 months. My 5 points for being a vet played a big role in being referred.
