It’s beating a dead horse to say so, but this country has gone stark staring mad. Why in the name of common sense would anyone expect employers to hire people with criminal records to deal with their money? If this impacts any group disparately, then the solution is for that group to get their act together. But no, not in the United States of Affirmative Action. Instead employers are expected to take the risks upon themselves and hire felons to handle their money, and thereby risk their business, and the jobs of the honest employees.
It isn’t just about managing money.
It’s also about managing risk.
Employers have been sued for not providing a safe work environment and hiring a whacko or violent offender should be a red flag.
Your Post is correct of course.
What they are admitting is that blacks would not be hired anywhere if not for affirmative action and forced actions by Government.
The question is why? Is there a reason?
Why do we need affirmative Action?
I believe we all know the reason and it isn’t because of discrimination.
It is because of a record of showing up late, not knowledgeable, too much sick time, too many grandmothers dying and they don’t show up for work, productivity lapses, sloppy performance, poor showings on skill tests, whining.
Once hired an impossibility to get rid of the loads.
Bring forth a man/woman with job skills good performance, a good attitude, and they are in demand. No matter what their color.
