I was an affirmative action hire at one job. My boss told me so at my first review where I was taken off probation and given a raise and a promotion as a result of my performance.

Hard work, a good attitude, and a couple of brain cells knocking around in your noggin will do that every time.

None of the other AA employees fared so well, but the company was stuck with them until they quit. I got a good job because of AA, but I'm still opposed to its practice, for it is, for the most part, detrimental to the health of industry.

youse guys are pretty smart for gurls...
