Dear Rebecca A. Stevens (?), very well said! In 2021, I want to expand the employment reentry conversation to include job seekers describing in more and more detail their ideal work and establish their dollar value for doing their ideal work. Job coaches and jobseekers/ artificial intelligence should search for job descriptions that potentially match or that person is over qualified for.
Employers should disclose their racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and religious practice and beliefs, Trumpism, obsessions and passions that affect their ability to collaborate and coexist.
For example, if you knew for a certainty that every employee at Chick Fil-A was racist and homophobic and thought everyone except evangelical Christians was a devil bound for hell, would you still patronize them? If I know all these things I might work for you but do not expect me to be your friend.
Or, I might just not interview with you in the first place. All of our talented professional athletes would realize they should form workers cooperatives and leave the sports plantation models high and dry.
EEOC can focus more on training and investigation/ remediation and develop a mediation-only adjudication of employee/ employer disputes.
Let’s finally see how long FOX News lasts without any women except those who like being prostitutes of powerful white or just know they are white heterosexual males and masochistic, closeted and self- hating gay males.
Conversely, if Jeffrey Toobin doesn’t transfer to Fox News, he is definitely a pervert-provocateur and everybody at CNN should be very afraid.
How about avoiding patronizing entire states with viral vibrant racism and sexism and no controls to manage COVID19. For example, it should be felony kidnapping and criminally negligent child abuse to take a child in or out of Florida, Georgia, or any of the states without mask or social distancing and 95% vaccination rates. Let’s see what businesses do next. Incentivize them to tie COVID 19 mandates to income and you will get much more compliance. Shut them down for violations and you’ll get COVID19 compliance. Start mandating psych evals and treatment or jail time for conspiracy and anti vaxx promoters and COVID 19 compliance will increase.
Meanwhile, remind everyone that suicidal and inflammation related illness among Olympic athletes from the USA says we are dying as a democratic republic based on capitalism. Our best hawks, Falcons, and eagles are dead and or majorly depressed. And on a personal note, THEY ARE ALL 30 TO 40 YEARS YOUNGER THAN I AM TODAY! USA, STOP THE MADNESS!
Employers, GET A CLUE!
Employees, unite and demand better. If you need a union, demand a SHRM - Trained HR dept. . Give them the sole responsibility for retention. That will force them to partner with teachers and all other professional groups united to teach children. Make getting and maintaining NBCT status required to achieve and maintain tenure. Attempt to maintain corporate historical memory knowledge by offering retirees consultancies.Note to 1%, you can assign a fiscal manager to supt office but supt must always be teacher who became admin or pedagogic specialist. End economic segregation. Build to support max 15 students per classroom GEN ED; 12 per SPED room. Build fine and performance arts back into curriculums. Codify and optimize virtual instruction or seamless movement between potentially LREs. There will be other catastrophic events.
Long story short, there is a lot of work to build back better a workplace that works for everyone. Your article is an excellent spotlight to let the healing begin!
Best,
