Gene,
your observation is representative of the Federal Govt in General...
saw that growing up around Wash DC...in Northern VA...
Affirmative Action, you get paid the same regardless of being competent or not.
in fact being a minority, you receive promotions at a faster pace, strictly for being a minority.
Takes an act of congress to fire you being a minority.. all you have to scream is racist
and all that ill will against you goes away... if it doesn't the employee that was non minority
trying to fire you, is fired and the minority gets a large settlement for harassment.
For all the reasons you see these minorities migrate to Federal Jobs is the big
reason I have never had the desire to work for the Feds, although I sure had a number
of opportunities to do so...
My folks, step dad is a retired AF Colonel and my mom is a retired GS 15., both with
big retirement benefits...that is also a big reason why so many migrate to Federal Jobs.
its bad at a state level most everywhere.. but its much worse with the Feds....
and give them an ounce of power, and they think they are King George.....
and plenty of them are racist SOBs to anyone who isn't there skin color either...
and with the Federal Govt, they get away with it...
