Everything is a mass public manipulation with these dolts
I just saw on CNN that Elon Musk sent out an email asking everybody to detail what they accomplished last week at work and if people failed to comply or don’t respond, it’ll be considered an act of resignation 
This is not the way to treat quality employees if we keep this up the only people who wanna work for a government will be complete shit bags who can’t do anything anyway
I’m a government contractor and I plan to pass up all government employment opportunities that come my way during this administration. It’s not much, but if everybody booze Allen Hamilton lighthouse, and the other big contractors quit their jobs. Our government will not be able to function within their roles. No shame to people who have to continue to work for the government. Of course you have to feed your family first

But that’s what they want. Dysfunction until the point that “privatization” makes sense, then reap the profits. For workers who stay on board they want obedient browshirts who are sympathetic to the cause.
It’s a literal coup.
It would be funny if people played their game and used AI to generate massive overcomplicated descriptions of their day to day activities.
During one video meeting with a representative of Mr. Musk’s team, civil servants at the technology arm of the General Services Administration even bombarded an online chat with spoon emojis to express their displeasure at the deferred resignation offer known as the “fork in the road.” (Their bosses responded by removing spoons from the list of searchable emojis permitted in their videoconferencing platform.)
I heard about that, it was a Teams meeting so the emoji’s pop up on the video conference screen, and it was just an avalanche of spoons.
They’re going to try and make it sound like lots of people are taking the fork, and it’s saving money
But they’re letting people who took it in February extend to 12/31/25 and then retire…
Getting paid and benefits the entire time.
The vast majority taking it are people who were retiring before that, and probies who likely would have been let go anyways.
It’s going to cost agencies a shit ton of money, which is the point. Republicans don’t care about the actual funding, it’s just the excuse that’s easiest to defend. They’re fine spending the money if the work isn’t done anyways
Republicans: let DOGE do whatever they want!
DOGE offers severance packages to a bunch of people and then gets the agency they are targeting dragged into expensive legal challenges.
Republicans (looking at the sum of those expenses): look how much these federal agencies have cost us! It’s outrageous!
