Read a random definition: Kleindienst v. Mandel

A quick definition of Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs:

Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is a part of the U.S. Department of Labor that makes sure that companies that work with the government don't discriminate against people based on their race, color, gender, religion, or where they come from. They make sure that everyone has a fair chance to get a job and be treated equally.

A more thorough explanation:

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is a part of the Employment Standards Administration in the U.S. Department of Labor. Its main responsibility is to ensure that contractors comply with Executive Order 11246, which prohibits job discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion, or national origin.

For example, if a company is awarded a federal contract, they must comply with the regulations set forth by the OFCCP. This means that they cannot discriminate against employees or job applicants based on any of the protected characteristics listed above.

The OFCCP also conducts audits and investigations to ensure that contractors are following the regulations. If a contractor is found to be in violation, they may face penalties or lose their federal contract.

@TediousSparrow: I still really think differentiating yourself is possible with a little luck, help from God, and a lot of persistence

“I am open to a world that acts on me in ways that cannot be fully predicted or controlled in advance, and something about my openness is not, strictly speaking, under my control.”

“Williams, you can’t be totally bad,” Butler recalled thinking. “She just came in and said hello, and she was so luminous. She’s still luminous. She walks in and it’s, like, there’s too much light in the room.”
