Christmas and Easter in for an ever decreasing minority. And labor day?
As a government employee (who is not going to apologize for having the day off - sorry, not sorry), I'd say that the population of government employees is at least as diverse as the general population, or if anything, blacks and other minorities are probably represented at greater than the percentage of the general population. As are people with disabilities. Now I realize I only have a sampling of some 5,000 employees (just at my facility) to go by, but I'll stand by my assertion.
Ya I get that, but that still leaves majority being white. And if we go at a 1:1 ratio of keeping it as diverse as the US population, that’s still only 13% black employees. I’m figuring in ALL government that will get the day off, also. Every janitor, every postal worker, every tax collector (damn them). Being generous we’ll say 35% black. Still majority whites benefiting from the holiday.
New Years is only nothing when you don’t remember it! I enjoy taking a day to plan the next year and set goals.Christmas and Easter in for an ever decreasing minority. And labor day?
I personally think it's worth celebrating an event that corrected a great plague that darkened our nation for decades.
New Year's day is a holiday, and just absolutely nothing, so...
I'm about as far from "woke" as you can get. You're welcome to become a government employee... https://www.usajobs.gov/
Oh! And we get that sweet sweet 0.5% COL increase most years. Not all, but most.
Well don't let em drive a wedge - Grill a steak today, and be thankful slavery ended.
So to that I say "That was then, this is now." Women couldnt vote either, and like them, we changed the laws to stop disenfranchising the slaves as well.
I’m not saying all government workers are “woke”. I’m just saying the woke ones are the majority of the beneficiaries of whatever they’re advocating for.I'm about as far from "woke" as you can get. You're welcome to become a government employee... https://www.usajobs.gov/
Only took me a year and probably 8 resume's submitted (tweaked several times, all for the same position) to get hired. Then you too can get the day off, or if you're really upset about it, you can work that day. You won't make any extra pay, but hey, at least you're not enjoying the day off.
Speaking only for where I work, it's probably skewed conservative (there are a lot of veterans there), but there are definitely some liberals there! I used to hear some of the conversations of some guys that were major flaming liberals about Trump. I about bit a hole in my lip staying quiet.
I been .gov since it was just gov. As far as civil service goes I think you could split them into two camps: the ones in DC; all others.
Or, she got what she wantedI did however change my screen saver to pics of unicorns, rainbows, My Little Pony and kittens... I think she got the message.
My email ends in .mil... You know, the ones with the most and coolest weapons in the world? Why she thought she would be sheltered from that is a mystery to me!Or, she got what she wanted
It seems, like you and Kelly have both experienced... the local government, depending on which branch and the location, is probably about even to a slight tilt either direction. That brings up even more questions as to why some of the bs happening does, but I won’t derail the thread for that. I will say federal overreach is becoming a major issue in the country.
She misread the ad. She thought it was for the .milf department.
Oh good lord no. Trust me. That was definitely NOT the case.
That makes it even worse! An ugly chick that doesn’t like the sight of guns...Oh good lord no. Trust me. That was definitely NOT the case.
They remind her of something that she can’t get, maybe…
Allow me to elaborate even more... She just retired last year (so you can guess her age). And she had children, which means... *shudder* ... I can't even bring myself to say it.
