Exactly. Anyone wanting to feel anxious about anything that's happening now will get their fears confirmed by coming to this forum. Always, it never fails. For those whose brain is still functioning. Do you really think that disaster that you imagine unfold would just be the making of the last few months? It's loooong in the making the more apocalyptic you think this is. If you think we are burning in a fire, guess who poured the gasoline before this match was lit? |
Indoctrinating kids into insanity and passing it off as normal?? Yeah no thanks. |
Get used to it, twit - and guess what, more and more of these threads are getting started by former Trump voters. I've seen my own MAGA voting in-laws disavow this shit show to tell me they have been calling Congress to complain about the DOGE destruction. I've sat in meetings where REPUBLICAN members of the House and Senate called this DOGE BS things like "cold and dysfunctional." A storm is brewing. I don't know what backward isolated little bubble you're living in to shrug this all off but there's fast and growing backlash everywhere I turn to. |
Uhhh it's not about "this forum." Try talking to people who are actually in the middle of this. I don't care what agency - DoD, DHS, you name it. They are all seeing the insanity going on right now. This is not some fabricated drama on some forum, this is reality. Pull your heads out of your asses. |
stop complaining and get a real job. the private sector has been going thru this for a generation. look at the recent layoffs in Big Tech, and the same companies are simultaneously hiring hundreds of thousands of cheap H1Bs. did any H1Bs show up at your agency as you friends were fired? imagine how that feels. |
This is being repeated, but not the same. A company looted and sold for parts by private equity, that's close, but this time it's the entire government. This is not cost cutting as it's not targeting the big ticket items, it's not targeting redundancy. It's just edicts to eliminate a large flat percent of employees, without time to sort (first round). The purpose is theatrics and intimidation. Work is not shifting to the contractor cronies. The contracts are also being cut, everyone up for negotiation is braced for worst-case. It spreads from there. |
