I read a 20-line piece from Argentina this AM. Odd order given by the government there.
They've identified 40,000 government official jobs....which require a aptitude-test. If you pass...you are offered a contract for your current job. If you fail? No contract for your current job. 'Up-or-out'...would be my description.
If you count all gov't employees in the country....local, state, federal....they have around 2.7-million people....so I imagine that the 40,000 are mostly 'bosses' or supervisors/chiefs.
Any guesses to pass/fail rate? Not really. I would imagine that if you were 30 years out of school or university....the odds might be against you passing....meaning that your score will be less than 60-percent.
If 10,000 fail? Well....they get sent to the civilian sector and probably a pay-cut. Then you go and offer a temp promotion to some folks into the chief's positions.....then you test them. Eventually, you might weed-out 100,000 employees out of the gov't sector.
