I have a family member who worked for a small manufacturing company that had some government contracts. They were always under the Affirmative Action gun. Did everything in their power to recruit and retain minorities, with little success.
It seems every time they hired a black woman she would leave for the weekend on Friday and then never be able to answer the bell Monday morning.
An acquaintance that worked construction in NYC described a similar situation where blacks would show up knowing that 51% of the workforce had to be “preferred minorities” (blacks, Hispanics, women). They wouldn’t work, and by the end of the job most would already be gone/fired. I guess the contractors just built it into the cost of the job (that approximately 25% of the “workers” were just dead weight).
I see this increasingly throughout office jobs; a large number of “preferred minorities” with no clearly defined responsibilities that seem to have all the time in the world to BS.
