Fed financial agency ditches employee performance ratings after union members & minorities consistently perform worse

2014-05-28

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau staff ratings showed racial disparities and other unequal results
Whites consistently outscored blacks and unionized workers trailed their nonunion counterparts
The agency has scrapped the system instead of examining why the data came out skewed, awarding everyone the top rating on a scale of 1 to 5
'Our performance ratings system did not meet our own objectives and expectations,' read an internal report released this month to reporters
Annual performance reviews affect salary raises, bonuses and career advancement
Congress has subpoenaed CFPB officials over accusations of discrimination

#9 I'm sure they will blame racist and biased against union reviewers and root them out at the first opportunity.

#8 Our idiot-in-chief is now speaking at West Point--another reflection of rampant idiocracy in our government.

#7 The performance system doesn't fit the liberal narrative, so they get rid of the performance system? Where's the surprise meter?

#6 I am shocked, shocked to find incompetence going on here. Merge them with TSA; they'd have more power, but wouldn't be able to find their way to work.

#5 I love watching a leftist explode with faux rage when you dare to say out loud that a guaranteed magic check promotes laziness and complacency.

Without authentic metrics and the possibility of losing your job if you do not meet them about 2/3 of people will, to one extent or another, kick back and be less hard-working and productive. That's the reality of human nature. Deal with it, leftists, even if it means your crappy little narrative is wrong.

#4 Any organization spawned from the mindcrotch of Elizabeth Warren needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

#3 Sounds like the agency did examined the system, did not find a problem and so decided to scrap it because it reflected reality instead of fantasy.

Not because it didn't work - but because it worked too well. Can't have that!

Read some of the comments. People aren't stupid.

#2 It is amazing how people perform when they are held accountable and only their hard work will grant them higher pay and positions instead of expecting it to be handed to them.

Get rid of the unions and make it so race isn't a guarantee for safety from criticism or a guarantee for promotion and you'll see the scores even out.
