They have been pushing very hard, using every means fair and unfair to “change the look� of the work force. The more diverse workforce that is in place is morphing into one much more homogeneous in the ethnic and racial origins of their personnel. It is obvious to me that the idea here isn’t to save money as they will employ more workers to do the same work (badly) as well as another whole tier of managers and infrastructure. In the dark and unclean places in the minds of these right wing zealots there are simply too many minorities in government, and they mean to do something about that. I imagine the same thing will happen at the State Department when she’s confirmed. How does she know, you may ask. I work for her.

They were then promised it would be quickly resolved if they kept quiet and advised not to talk to any papers - this is why other papers did not publish the story - the clock ticks on I withdraw the obviously comment I have a minute so i will be brief:

Although as I mentioned, over half of her company's employees were minorities? What issues would those be? That the only minorities she is willing to employ are those that will help her company remain profitable? Great! 2 - I read and re-read it, but the point is still unclear to me. Is it that she had reduced the number of jobs? Is that wrong? Really? Would you really rather have the government pay more employees than is necessary to get the job done? 3 - So if you are remotely acquainted with the family of the administration, you are thereby disqualified from serving it? "Bleed one area of the government"? By cutting coin production costs by 20%, and saving the U.S. Treasury over $1 billion dollars the first year??? That seems to be exactly the opposite of "bleeding." 4 - She "disregarded events"? Where are your facts behind this charge? She opened the investigation into the problem during the same month that the class-action suit was filed. I'm not sure how that involves "the paper." And let's try to leave the personal little swipes out of this. Your "obviously's" tend to get in the way of civil dialogue. Ok, Axeman, I’ll bite.

Do any of you know this lady or her company? Do any of you know that very recently well over half her company's employees, including supervisors, were minorities? Do any of you understand that she (correctly) was more worried about running a successful company than about what color the faces of her employees were? Isn't that the ultimate goal of minorities? For their skin color to not be a factor? I know that for me it is. I can’t believe how people just jump on the bandwagon and believe just what they want to believe.

I was someone that was actually earning money in that trade, lots of it. If there was no money to be made selling drugs, considering the risk, who would be stupid enough to do it?
