Back in the 1970's me and a several guys I knew decided to take a
refresher course so we could obtain our First Class FCC license required
for a job as a broadcast engineer. We already knew our electronics and
had experience in the field but needed a little
help to guarantee we passed our test. There was one gal in the class.
She was nice and we all liked her but she didn't know one end of a
soldering iron from the other but did know a screwdriver was for
screwing. Everyone in the class passed the test and obtained our First
Class FCC license. Guess who was immediately hired by a radio station?
That was my first real brush with Affirmative Action. o_O

She had the tools the station was looking for.


Two pointy ones. o_O

When Kodak still had employees, my Dad used to joke
that a Jewish Black woman could be hired and be VP
within a year. As usual, the Congress is the problem,
writing and enforcing laws like Affirmative Action.

Sadly, Congress "pay no attention to the man behind
the curtain!" seldom gets credit for their problems.

All this BS is before the supreme court again. somehow some of the
justices don't understand the concept of "treat everyone equal"
preferring to treat some people as more equal then others.

The reason a college degree is required for almost any decent job
today is because making a degree a job requirement eliminates many of
the "equal employment class" from the job pool and somehow has managed
to escape the ire of the Affirmative action wackos. They have,
however, started attacking the notion that you can ask someone if they
are a convicted criminal when considering employing them. That's
unfair, you shouldn't be allowed to protect your workplace from KNOWN
thieves cuz they 'paid their time' in jail and shouldn't get punished
again in the workplace. I guess the notion that maybe they shouldn't
have been out thieving never occurred to these people.


How about determining the intelligence of job applicants because you
have very expensive equipment you don't want some dumbass destroying
because he can't read and understand the operating instructions? But
darn, that would be racist even if it eliminated many Caucasian job
applicants. ^_^

years ago, state gvt, I was going to interview applicants for my clerk
position. I thought I would do a very short dictation and have them
type it up as part of the interview. Mentioned that to HR and they
blew a gasket. It was to BE ASSUMED that if HR put them on "the list"
that they had those minimum qualifications. Did HR test them for
that? No, they just took their word for it!!! But I was not allowed
to verify they actually had the skill. Basically we were not allowed
to "test them" in anyway as part of the interview.
