Zone1 DEI Created Meritoracy in the Federal Workforce, The Very Thing That Trump & His Minions Claim Has Been Lost as a Result of DEI

[skews13]

This is what a lack of critical thinkings skills does for you, but it's also a heightened form of gaslighting. Or to dumb it down a bit - you tell a lie, over and over and over again, never back down and people will eventually begin to remember that it's a lie.

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives have contributed to creating a more meritocratic system in the federal workforce, particularly by ensuring that hiring and promotions are based on qualifications and abilities rather than bias or exclusionary practices.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------​

How DEI Created Meritocracy in the Federal Workforce​

1. Eliminating Exclusionary Practices
   • Before DEI efforts, certain racial, gender, and socioeconomic groups were systematically excluded from federal job opportunities, whether through explicit policies or implicit biases in hiring and promotion.
   • By removing barriers, DEI allowed a broader pool of qualified candidates to compete on merit rather than connections, race, or gender.
2. Expanding Access to Opportunities
   • Affirmative action and DEI initiatives opened federal positions to historically underrepresented groups.
   • Veteran hiring preferences, disability inclusion programs, and outreach efforts brought highly qualified candidates into government roles based on skills and expertise rather than traditional networks.
3. Objective Hiring Standards
   • The Merit System Principles (5 U.S.C. § 2301) ensure that federal hiring is based on ability, knowledge, and skills rather than personal favoritism.
   • DEI efforts reinforced structured hiring processes, like blind resume reviews and standardized evaluation criteria, reducing the impact of bias.
4. Promoting Fair Advancement
   • Historically, informal networks often dictated who got promotions and leadership roles.
   • DEI programs helped create clearer promotion pathways where employees were evaluated based on performance, not just who they knew.

How Did This Become Controversial?​

In recent years, critics have argued that some DEI efforts have gone beyond leveling the playing field and created new forms of exclusion, such as:​

• Diversity-focused hiring goals that, in some cases, led to accusations of reverse discrimination.
• Training programs that critics claim promote a specific ideological perspective rather than neutral professional development.
• Legal challenges questioning whether certain DEI programs comply with existing anti-discrimination laws.

So, Did DEI Create a Meritocracy?​

Yes, in the federal workforce, DEI helped build a more merit-based system by ensuring that hiring and advancement were based on ability rather than bias. However, the debate arises when policies perceived as ensuring diversity appear to conflict with strictly race-neutral or “colorblind” interpretations of merit.​

The entire Trump administration of nepo babies, tv personalities, and trolls is the epitome of mediocracy.

There is no one in any position based on competency or merit.

There is a woman, cultural minority or LGBT candidate for any of those jobs that are light years more qualified.

I didn't think it was possible to get that many white nepos, trolls, and felons that unqualified at the same time.

Youi have described the Palestinians.

No, the Palestinians were minding their own business until Europe decided to dump its Jews on them.

Blacks are discriminated against with affirmative action programs. I am pleased that President Trump is eliminating affirmative action in government employment. I look forward to its elimination in private employment also.

Well, you'll be disappointed. The private sector knows diversity is it's strength.

And in about two years, when the Government stops working, Trump will be about as popular as hemorrhoids.

How many times do I need to post this? The problem poor Negroes face is not that their welfare checks are not generous enough. It is that the U.S. economy is running out of jobs for people of low IQs. There is no future in factory work. To learn a skilled trade, one needs an IQ of at least 80. To be a professional or a manager one needs at least 115, and probably should have 130 or more.

First, IQ80 is just above retarded. I'm sorry, I've met very few retarded black people. I've met a lot of retarded white people (no, not the ones who wear MAGA hats, I'm above a cheap shot) because all these white women wait until their 40s to have kids.

Guy, you can go with your racial fantasies all day, but the reality is that we are getting poor results we get because you can't erase the effects of 400 years of systematic racism with slightly less bad systematic racism.

JoeB131's criticism of "the Jews" is similar to criticisms I have read in

Well, first you read a book like Mein Kampf. But Hitler's problem with the Jews is that he didn't think they were the same race as the Germans, which they were. My problem with them is the same problem I have with Mormons, Evangelicals, and yes, even Catholics (even though most of my relatives are Catholic). If you use religion to rationalize your bad behavior, I'm going to have a bad opinion of you.

 

[JoeB131]

It was fought to the tune of trillions of dollars of taxpayer money. The problem is that you can never stamp out poverty, there will always be people who make stupid decisions and/or have no ambition. What people like you ignore is that "poverty" in the USA is a solid middle-class existence in most of the world. With all the governmental programs for the "poor" we have no real poverty, no one starves in the streets, the "poor" have the disposable income for internet and cell phones and most are overweight. I was raised poor and know what it really is, there were many months when the last week of the month we ate beans or mac and cheese out of a box, new clothes were Christmas or birthday presents, most of my normal clothes came from thrift stores. There were no free lunch and breakfast programs in the schools, I brown bagged PeanutButter and jelly every day and drank water for lunch.

Okay, let's unpack this nonsense.

1) Actually, what we spend on poverty relief (probably less than 500 Bn a year in adjusted dollars) is a pittance compared to what we pay in Middle-Class Entitlements (Well over 2.5 Trillion if you count Medicare, VA, Social Security, and Unemployment insurance.) So we spend a lot of money keeping middle-class white people from becoming poor and not so much raising the poor out of poverty.

2) The poor are often overweight because the processed food they are fed is unhealthy by design. McDonald's gets rich, poor people are unhealthy, and only the right wing thinks this is a good thing.

3) I'm not sure what your testimonial has to do with anything. It would depend on time period and how big your family was. I grew up in a middle class lifestyle, but it was a stretch because there were 7 of us living in a three bedroom home, especially with the hyperinflation of the 70s.

For too long the Palestinians have been interfering with the safety and wellbeing of the Jews of the Jews. It is time for the Palestinians to move elsewhere in the Arab world, in anyone wants them.

 

[Hector12]

Well, you'll be disappointed. The private sector knows diversity is it's strength.

If that is true, why has the government needed to enforce diversity? No organization benefits by lowering mental standards for Negroes. The only diversity that is beneficial is diversity of opinion. The advocates of diversity in hiring try to suppress diversity of opinion.

 

[Hector12]

Guy, you can go with your racial fantasies all day, but the reality is that we are getting poor results we get because you can't erase the effects of 400 years of systematic racism with slightly less bad systematic racism.

What happened to Negroes one to four hundred years ago does not affect their mental performance now. What does affect their mental performance now is the fact that human evolution has not prepared most of them for the intellectual and social requirements of civilization.

 

[SmokeALib]

There is not air traffic controller scandal other than the ridiculous "buyout" the tRump offered and the fact that his cuts and policies were so extremely bad that they led to fatal consequences in mere days.

So that military helicopter flew into that plane because of Trump's DEI policies?
You stupid ass.

Your low opinion of me means nothing, until you rare able to refute my comments. The assertions of Charles Murray and Professor J. Philippe Rushton will be disproved when a method is discovered that significantly and permanently improves the intellectual performance of a child who performs poorly on an IQ test at the age of seven. No method has been found because no method is possible.

When I was nineteen, I was proselytized for six months by two Mormon missionaries. During this time, I proved beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt that the assertions of Mormonism are not true. Nevertheless, I liked the Mormon missionaries who proselytized me. When Mormon missionaries knock on my door, I invite them in and talk to them. I like Mormons. They are good people. Unlike your favorite minority, Mormons are high on the good statistics and low on the bad statistics.

Wait, you misunderstood what's going on here so badly that you think that's what I said?

But I'm the dumbass?

 

[JoeB131]

For too long the Palestinians have been interfering with the safety and wellbeing of the Jews of the Jews. It is time for the Palestinians to move elsewhere in the Arab world, in anyone wants them.

I would say that the way the Jews could maintain their safety and well-being was to stay in Europe, where they came from, but they managed to tick those people off, too. Here's a crazy idea. How about not ticking off people no matter where you go?

f that is true, why has the government needed to enforce diversity? No organization benefits by lowering mental standards for Negroes. The only diversity that is beneficial is diversity of opinion. The advocates of diversity in hiring try to suppress diversity of opinion.

Um, it's the law. Frankly, as for "enforcement", I've only seen EEOC take a side once in my career, and that's when a white woman sued the company for firing her because she had no business being a supervisor. It was an expensive, drawn-out lawsuit, which the company tried to mitigate by promoting another white woman who had no business being a supervisor, either. I think in the end she won, but her monetary damages barely covered her legal fees.

(This was the company with the Jewish Manager who eventually ran it into the ground doing boneheaded stuff like this.)

As for diversity of opinion, no one wants to hear your crackpot theories. It's why all the race-realism cockroaches have to hide in the cornerboards of the internet.

What happened to Negroes one to four hundred years ago does not affect their mental performance now. What does affect their mental performance now is the fact that human evolution has not prepared most of them for the intellectual and social requirements of civilization.

Again, I don't think you understand how evolution works... The fact that even with the racial deck stacked against them, blacks become doctors and lawyers and engineers puts your crackpot theories to rest.

Your low opinion of me means nothing, until you rare able to refute my comments. The assertions of Charles Murray and Professor J. Philippe Rushton

Dude, we were talking about religion, not your crackpot racial theories (which come to think of it, might be your religion.)

When I was nineteen, I was proselytized for six months by two Mormon missionaries. During this time, I proved beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt that the assertions of Mormonism are not true. Nevertheless, I liked the Mormon missionaries who proselytized me. When Mormon missionaries knock on my door, I invite them in and talk to them. I like Mormons. They are good people. Unlike your favorite minority, Mormons are high on the good statistics and low on the bad statistics.

Did you tell them that Joseph Smith was a child molestor and con man? I don't think they'd have been too nice to you after that.

Jews have every right to exist and have a home.

That said they do seem to be their own worst enemies a lot of the time.

 

[JoeB131]

That said they do seem to be their own worst enemies a lot of the time.

I agree they should have a home.

They shouldn't have one that involves taking someone else's home.

The fundamental lie of Zionism is "A land without a people for a people without a land."

There were people living there for hundreds of years, and unlike the Germans or Russians, they hadn't done anything to the Jews of Europe up to that point.

 

[Hector12]

Jews anger those who cannot compete with them.

 

[Hector12]

Um, it's the law.

Fortunately President Trump is changing the law. Many managers will be pleased that they no longer need to keep useless parasites on their staffs.

 

[Hector12]

How did book royalties turn Charles Murray into a rich man? The Bell Curve was on The New York Times best seller list for months.

What Charles Murray writes in The Bell Curve is obvious to high school guidance counselors.

 

[Hector12]

Again, I don't think you understand how evolution works... The fact that even with the racial deck stacked against them, blacks become doctors and lawyers and engineers puts your crackpot theories to rest.

Evolution favors those who are most prolific. Currently those with IQs below 100 have more children - often on welfare - than those with IQs above 100. While this is happening computer technology and automation are eliminating jobs for those with low IQs.

 

[Hector12]

Did you tell them that Joseph Smith was a child molestor and con man? I don't think they'd have been too nice to you after that.

What you say is true. Mormons still have low rates of crime, alcoholism, drug use, divorce, and illegitimacy.

 

[JoeB131]

Jews anger those who cannot compete with them.

No, Jews anger the people they cheat... and they keep doing it.

It's almost like they have a death wish.

How do you think this all ends? At some point, Iran or some other bad actor gets nuclear weapons, and then it's Adios Muchachos.

Evolution favors those who are most prolific. Currently those with IQs below 100 have more children - often on welfare - than those with IQs above 100. While this is happening computer technology and automation are eliminating jobs for those with low IQs.

AI will probably eliminate jobs for those with IQs above 100. We might be at a point where "jobs" become meaningless. Or more precisely, it will be an all-service economy, but people have been predicting that since the 1980s.

Since I'm a big fan of Star Trek, I ask the question: "What do all the people who aren't in Star Fleet do for a living? They don't need farms for food, they don't need factories for manufactured goods. Everything is replicated.

I have a full time job doing purchasing and a part time one writing resumes. I could see both of those jobs disappearing in 10 years. Intelligence and evolution won't have much to do with it if no one has anything to do.

What you say is true. Mormons still have low rates of crime, alcoholism, drug use, divorce, and illegitimacy.

You mean in addition to being religious jackasses, they are BOOOORING!!!!

The last thing I think anyone wants is a bunch of prudes telling us not to have sex or enjoy our little vices.

 

[Hector12]

No, Jews anger the people they cheat... and they keep doing it.

It's almost like they have a death wish.

Jews do not need to cheat. They succeed by merit.

Artificial intelligence is the latest in a series of computer developments that increase the relationship between intelligence and success. Artificial intelligence still needs to be developed and programmed.
