KANSAS CITY NOW HIRING COMMUNITY 'DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS' FOR BESET PUBLIC WORKS, PERMITS DIVISION!!!

As the economic toll of COVID continues to plague Kansas City, our blog community works to secure opportunities for readers. 

Accordingly . . .

NEW CITY HALL JOBS REQUIRE APPLICANT EXPERTISE IN DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND EQUITY!!!

Sadly, a KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER seems skeptical.

Here's the word: 

"Is KCMO adding a social justice screener to its public works permitting? 

Why is an eco devo fluff job like this within the public works / permitting department? 

Are public works budget dollars getting sucked up into positions like this one? Instead of streets and potholes and basic services?"

These are all great questions that won't ever be answered by city hall.

And so, merely share the job listing and hope that lucky readers with the right skillz/connections can earn decent cash with this b.s. job:

  3. Another make-work jobs program.
    KCMO city government doesn't have anywhere near enough of these already.
    Will report to no one in particular, have no real responsibilities, performance standards, or accountability.
    KCMO has become a social services academic experiment run by a clueless fake "professor".
    And all at taxpayer expense.
    You really can't make this stuff up!
    Sad.

    It's a good thing math is racissst. The new position will not require 2+2=4.

    Any calculations results will simply be from the "perspective" of the person doing the "new" math, and therefore determined accurate.

    Of course, most of us know this is just a way to eliminate exposing the stupidity of those folks advocating it.

    The 1619 protocol will provide us confidence in the KCPS grads who may enter local administration positions in the future.

  8. Any job ad that contains "serves on multi-discipline teams" is a bull shit position.

    They left out: Whites need not apply.

  11. Any job that requires a degree in sociology OR engineering has likely not been well thought out by the employer. But the posting includes a degree in "a related field," so grievance studies majors won't feel left out.
