[quote=Anonymous]Everyone is missing the point. Goal # 1 is to discourage and demoralize civil servants. Goal # 2 test the courts for the next round. The ultimate goal is to gut the civil service.

We aren’t shocked. We are encouraging people to not fall for this deal being offered by notorious grifters.

Right? And just one week to take the offer.

I’d like to counter with offering Trump to leave office and paying his salary for four years. Much better deal for the American public.

No one should take this deal. They don’t have funds appropriated for this, and if I was retirement eligible I’d be concerned they would stiff me on those benefits if I decided to take this offer. Do not make this easy ln them. Keep working and start looking for a new job, but don’t take this deal.

+1 super sus. Trump and Musk, two people known for paying people who work for them and they certainly never stiff people!

You people are truly delusional.


Musk stiffed lots of X employees of their severance when he laid them off.


And? X and the productive employees are just fine.


And since he did it before why would you trust him now?

The government isn't most companies. There are completely different rules and Congressional appropriation of funds is involved. Where is this "new" money supposed to be coming from?

But you aren’t a fed. That’s the difference. People are civil servants for lesser salaries because they want to be civil servants. There are also protections in place for reduction in force and for terminations.

The real question is why is this administration trying to do this in a rush?


And this should be the question every reporter ask them. Why can't they do this is an orderly fashion? What can't they evaluate while providing stability? What can't they write orders, edicts, and policy that is not ambiguous and only takes away what is needed? etc etc.

Answer: Because they know they can't possible get close to the number of saved $$ that they promised without chaos and destruction. They know they will have to fight unions and fight in court which will tie things up and make them look bad. They know they put up a bunch of unqualified Secretaries and Senior staff that will take 6+ months to figure out what their agency actual does. They know as long as they keep up with the shock and awe it will distract people from how many of their rights are being taken away, the fact their democracy is becoming an authoritarian regime, and the fact that they are getting rich off it all. They know a great many people, many of their own base will be hurt.

Why is DT trying to saying that presidential immunity should keep him from paying E Jean Carroll? What about his job has anything to do with a court case and ruling that was handed down while he was not president?

Don't follow their new shiny object everyday.[b] Ask them the hard questions, and ask about what supposedly they were voted in office to do.

Why are eggs and other grocery prices rising and what do they plan to do about it?
What's going on with Disaster recovery?
What's going on with the Ukraine/Russia peace deal?
What about Israel and Palestine?
How are they planning to get college cost under control?
