Seems like someone has managed to do something far above the scope of his original position. Workers are getting screwed left and right. Government lies. There are no legitimate options. It’s all a shell game that can’t be won. Sneaking, skulking, making an end run around the office that should be handling things. More lies, lies, lies, lies. What is this bullsh*t. Project 2025 sliding in and changing things unobtrusively, so it’s too late to stop changes before they’re done.
Federal workers are getting f*cked. Elon has taken over the Office of Personnel Management and we’re not exactly sure how it was done. He has seized the OPM for the Federal Government and sent out a ridiculous email that I would think is lies, lies, lies. They want people to take the payout with a promise of getting paid through September 30. Well, for one thing the government is only financed through March. So how are they going to pay for these long resignations? And for another, the email is VERY similar to the one that was used for Xitter when Elon bought that company. Kinda makes you think, right?
The style of the email, entitled “Fork in the Road,” mimics that of one Musk sent to Twitter employees in 2022 when he bought the company, now known as X. And here we go: More than 2.3 million government employees were sent an email last week offering buyouts to anyone who voluntarily leaves their job in an effort to significantly reduce the federal workforce.
Except hardly anyone is taking this at face value and definitely not when you dig into it a bit. There are promises in this that cannot be true. He’s trying to make leaving so nice and positive and helpful, and we all know the truth, or lack of truth, behind anything that he does. Lies, lies, lies. They’re trying to drive out career federal workers to cut back costs. After the first few moments of looking at this email, anyone can tell it’s a scam. These people aren’t stupid.
Officials within the Office of Personnel Management – an HR-type agency for the government – were reportedly “blindsided” by the memo, believed to be heavily influenced by billionaire Musk.
The Office of Personnel Management is a nonpartisan agency that manages the federal workforce, and would typically be consulted ahead of significant personnel changes. They were not informed of this proposal, people familiar with the situation told The Washington Post.
What’s wrong with this picture? What is WRONG with this picture? There is a Reddit sub r/fedwork, that you folks might want to take a look at. I stumbled into it by accident and I am so, so glad I clicked and did. This is something more people need to know about. This is information that needs to be out there in a bigger way than federal employees. This needs to go to the entire country. MAGA won’t like it, but then when *do* they like things like this? They’re accepting all that The Confused Carrot is doing without LOOKING at it. Seems like *everyone* is getting screwed here. Hold the Line, Don’t Resign. Stay Strong. We are here for each other. Yes, we are.
