DEI is a quota program. Forget about merit and look at identity. Should also look at obesity? Type sex you choose? Disability? Type gender you choose or feel? The type language you speak?
Or should we not discriminate against anyone and just match the skills to that job?
“Data from the city’s Office of Equity, Belonging and Inclusion bears that out. According to a public equity dashboard, nearly 40% of city employees making $15.81 to $19.63 an hour are Black; that increases to 46% for those earning $19.64 to $22.68. Meanwhile, 70% of employees making $30.31 to $47.99 and above $48 an hour are white.”
If only the employees were free to seek jobs with better pay….
David, Indy City Gov is a Democrat cesspool. As always with that party, merit, actual job skills, and personal responsibility don’t exist. Anything slightly inconvenient is RACIST !! Haven’t you heard? Roads are RACIST!
Thanks to the IBJ employees for doing their Masters’ bidding and peddling this stupidity
Also note the normal positioning. The pay “fails to measure up”. The CC clown is heroically “sounding the alarm”.
Gosh, Chuck, tell us loud and clear that you lack reading comprehension skills. City employees *are* getting jobs elsewhere and it hard to fill important city positions.
We all know you get misty-eyed over the good old Antebellum days when human beings could be forced to labor for free, but in 2024, if workers are not paid fairly they can and will leave, and new individuals will not fill their vacant positions. City leaders need to bite the bullet and *raise* city employees’ wages to a competitive rate.
And, why are you so concerned about the “cesspool” when you seem to be swimming in your own venom? Seems like a sad and bitter existence.
It’s America. Just go get a job elsewhere if you don’t like it.
Evidently they are getting jobs elsewhere, if Eagle Creek Park is any example. The 71st Street entrance has been unmanned for most of this summer and fall due to staff shortages, which in turn compounds the city’s funding shortage due to uncollected park fees.
Yeah, you missed the actual issue Anthony: it’s hard to fill jobs that are critical to City services if pay is too low. Has nothing to do with DEI or political party…city wages for parks, pools, and customer-serving offices were too low under Republican administrations too.
