lol, lmao even
Been said before, but a speed run of the collapse of the American Empire was supposed to take years, not months. This is next level tech and hopefully we can see a Project 2025 ghoul at this year’s SGDQ
I’m not a fan of the US govt, but if this also includes people like librarians, national park or museum staff it’s really grim regardless.
Hahaha holy shit he’s blowing up the government.
Decades in weeks comrade
The next 4 years are about to be a century lmao
actually joker laughed
i thought such measures were for smaller countries like Argentina, Greece or ones outside the capitalist bloc like the USSR. But nope.
An email went out to the federal workforce Tuesday evening, with a subject line that had ties to Elon Musk.
The starving organism cannibalizes its own body.
they’re finally shutting it down to figure out what’s going on
The severance procedure.
The funny thing is, this could have been an attractive option to people who were Medicare eligible and close to retirement, if Trump didn’t just grind entitlements to a screeching halt.
generally most of the reason for staying in a GS rated position is the benefits, including the pension which is calculated based on years of service.
it isn’t like tech douche start up world where it’s all salary and stove-piped stock options and a maniacal boss who can terminate medical insurance at a whim.
there simply aren’t enough political appointees to oversee and pressure people to leave without an actual pension buyout including healthcare, which would balloon the shit out of costs, which would over what these agencies have in their budgets. which would require added funding from congress… good luck selling that as efficiency.
there’s a reason they are saying “paid through September” because that’s all the funding they have to work with, since that’s the end of the federal fiscal calendar.
honestly, I bet they don’t even get 5% of the workforce to take the bait, even making it so easy to resign with Musk’s auto-resign-by-email app, which probably fails some HR paperwork requirement of a legit digital signature.
Musk’s auto-resign-by-email app
Someone could do something really fucking funny if they can trick it into accepting incorrect emails.
Imagine being on track to quit and taking this instead lol
I said so many fucking times that if Elon comes in and does DOGE and fires 30% of the US states’ workforce in “cost savings” like he did at X the entire machine will come to a grinding halt.
I can’t fucking believe they’re actually doing it.
Severance? Like the TV show?
No, like the evil teacher from Harry Patter.
I thought it was that three headed dog
This shit is completely absurd lmfao
A friend of mine who just moved for a federal role fresh out of college and hates their job and their work site. Their email was different from the article and said they don’t have to work at all while still getting paid. So they can get paid for 7 months of searching for a job somewhere else. I guess to prevent them from spreading DEI propaganda in the meantime?
The FAQ on the OPM actually says that people are not expected to work during the resignation period. But they can also just fire you at any time before September.
“If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months.”
