CFPB drops evaluations of employees to avoid discrimination

[Quantum Windbag]

Just pays everyone like they are really good at their jobs.

And people wonder why I think the government is absurd.

One government agency has decided that the results of employee ratings are too discriminatory, and eliminated the process entirely. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced on Monday that it will now award all employees the highest rating regardless of performance reviews.
The CFPB, which oversees transactions in the financial sector for the federal government, decided to no longer conduct employee reviews because there were just too many apparent “significant disparities” between the races, ages, and locations of its employees.
According to American Banker, this new policy is set to cost over $5 million dollars, as it will now pay employees as if they received the highest evaluation score. The previous system ranked staff on their performance from a scale ranging from one to five, with five being the best score a CFPB staffer could receive after a review of their work on the job.

That gives a seriously bizarre twist to the saying that "failure is not an option".

Are they now going to blindfold the competent employees to further level the playing field?
