Honestly, if they want to fire me they're going to have to do it that way. I'm not making it easy for them to destroy my organization.


Because it looks like a horrible deal with no legal backing.

They could have just offered a regular government retirement buyout through the standard channels and would have probably been overwhelmed by a lot of takers.
Now people are just insulted and angry.

No closing signatures on emails, no letterhead on correspondence, can’t believe people are taking it seriously.

Or they realize it will be a $hitshow if they try do that so this is just another example of pressure to get people to voluntarily give up their rights and jobs.

Unions have already said they’ll sue if Elon does this.

This is not guaranteed. That’s the issue, not just for probationary, but for all feds.


DP. True, but hopefully managers are telling those employees what the likelihood of staying on is, because Fork might be reasonable for them if they're going to be fired. They don't have many protections.


As Office Director, I’d never say anything like that because I do not know. Nobody should be saying things like that.

I know more than a single person who does. I don't. But I know of people who are taking this deal and seem to trust it. All fellow lawyers.


Hey, look! Scamanda is awake this morning!

Managers have no clue what the likelihood of staying on is. Absolutely zero. And neither do the managers’ managers. This insanity is unprecedented.

Managers have no idea. I think no one inside the agencies has any idea what will happen to probationary employees

Honestly, anyone who is dumb enough to take this deal probably shouldn't be employed in a position of public trust.

Good try, Doge Incel.

Where's the proof on the 20,000 figure? We'll wait.

They’re not eligible to take it.


Is this true ?

Can probationary employees take the offered deal ?
