While true, caucasian males are significantly overrepresented.

Would be a shame if everyone emailed [e-mail] with frivolous reporting of unauthorized DEI activities...

Guessing not many White men got these jobs in the first place.

Exactly. So this is effectively targeting minorities.

Only because the original hiring was discriminatory.

So hiring anyone who isn’t white is discrimination

Isn’t hiring white male veterans DEI? Please tell me they are included. I’m not anti white male veteran, my dad was one, but if since they also benefit from hiring priority, they should be included in this.

No, veterans preference is a law. My mom is a veteran and so is my dad. While he’s a man, he’s not white. But he’s never benefited from veterans preference so it’s moot.

No they weren’t.

We were told that a proper signature block should include pronouns

I have friends at several agencies. Some agencies directed their employees to include pronouns and other agencies did not.

This. Although I have colleagues who put it in their signature block; I did not.

I have it in my signature block because my name is 95% assumed to be male. It clears up a lot of confusion and is better than having Ms. before my first name.

I work in a global corporation. People were encouraged to use the pronouns in e-mail signatures if they wanted to. It's hard for people to understand gender-neutral and gender coded names from languages they don't speak. It's mildly helpful.

Don't forget to include Amanda Scales, the new OPM Chief of Staff that Musk brought in!

Everyone should have gotten that email. The templates were within the OPM memo.

If we didn't do you find that bothersome?
My agency didn't send one. Good.

The OPM memo required the fascist email be sent by EOD today. But I’m glad your agency is pushing back even if only by delaying as long as possible.

While the OPM email was a bit much, it was not fascist.

Nope. It was fascist.

It is due to the deliberate obscuring of facts and refusal to act by some parts of the executive branch in his first term. Not that I necessarily blame them but this is a logical response from his perspective.

No. It’s just fascist. Sorry you voted for a fascist, but you did. Live with it.

Yes, indeed, it was. Basically it said: "Inform on your co-workers or expect to be fired." Definitely fascist.

I didn’t vote for him and this is all so painful in every way. But Trump is not going to put up with this again. This is a work directive to stop obviously deliberate concealment. It’s a stupid one, though.

The OPM memo calls it a RIF.

Holy shit, the OPM memo is a bloodbath. Wow. The EO stopped short of this, this is absolutely nuts.

https://chcoc.gov/sites/default/files/OPM%20Memo%20Initial%20Guidance%20Regarding%20DEIA%20Executive%20Orders.pdf

You should all look at this order, my spouse working at FDA just got as an email exhibit 1. It ask employees to report and change they are aware or in other employees’ job descriptions and failure to report within 10 days will result in “adverse consequences” .
We are beyond appalled. Are we under Stasi already?

+1. Demanding that employees report others not for crimes but for changes in job description since november or they will suffer adverse consequences is fascist.

Yeah, and Hitler thought the Night of Long Knives was necessary for the same reason.

We can all read the rest of the EO and the others Trump put out. He is attempting to revoke the Fourteenth Amendment and ordering protection from immigrants who seek “replacement of the culture.”

You can roll your eyes. It doesn’t change what’s true.

This. She took the OPM job knowing this was going to be her tasking.
