Tired old Don can’t even come up with his own ideas, needs a younger, stronger, and more attractive man to do it for him. Sad!

westonjk.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’m fairly certain a lifelong CON, grifter and convicted felon shouldn’t be trusted to “just” follow through with any agreement. I mean, Nazi Musk made a similar offer that he did not honor which forced people to litigate.

unfoundeddefy.bsky.social•30 days ago

Remember it isn't a buyout, it's a forced resignation after a period of time with no contract to obligate them to buy your time. The same thing Musk did...None of the fed workers I know have taken it.

The Nazi party did the exact same thing with their government workers, forced fealty.

They don’t even try to hide their hostile takeover of our government.

Nah he got the right guy. We can't ask one man to do everything

Now it’s time for Mario, Wario, and all the other mushroom kingdom people to step up (Italian people wearing fun hats assassinating oligarchs) 🍄 🏰 ⭐️

Of course president B would copy president A.

The difference being that the first time, they couldn't look at the first time and know how disastrous and idiotic it was.

I think the phrase "fork in the road" is pretty standard corporate fare. They think it kind but direct.

vaxtheworld.bsky.social•30 days ago

Watching @maddow.msnbc.com while reading this. Is Trump just a figurehead with dementia being used by the tech bros?

Musk couldn't manage a proper shit.

The asshole just can't stop plagarizing. This act is metaphor for his miserable life.

And how many of those Twitter employees are still engaged in litigation with Twitter for unpaid severance

I just wonder how did that work out for twitter.

It makes so much sense that this is a Musk thing. All of these bizarre OPM emails read like they were written by AI

edoornek.bsky.social•30 days ago

Like I’m the least “norms” person in the federal service, but I can’t overstate the absolute jarring dissonance of getting an email entitled “A Fork in the Road”. Our masters usually talk in memos if they talk to us at all.

It also bears a really strong resemblance to what he did on Twitter. He fired everybody, including the Tech Help people so when my account was hacked, there was nobody to help. Finally, somebody reached out to me a friend of a friend.

laughenjoyer.bsky.social•30 days ago

are there two more gauche motherfuckers alive

leap4.bsky.social•29 days ago

An official government communication to federal employees is titled “A Fork in the Road” ? Really?
Which ignoramus thought that was a good idea? Oh, that’s right, they asked Elon.

andrewdavies.bsky.social•30 days ago

Did the people who resigned from Twitter get their severance? Or did Musk stiff them?

notthecoolest.bsky.social•30 days ago

They're having to sue to get their promised pay. Feds taking the offer probably won't fare a lot better since the whole government is on a CR through March and there's no funds allocated for this.

That's some execs. He also stiffed thousands who were promised severance.

Everyone in management has been there. "I swear I wrote this exact same email last year. Maybe I can find it and cut and paste..."

Since when is the President or his lackeys the boss of the federal workforce? Jfc this is the worst timeline.

tatomlinson.bsky.social•25 days ago

They are not buyouts. They are condescending threats.

mistakenscientist.bsky.social•30 days ago

Musk was much more brutal to twitter employees. Twitter employees had to agree “to be hard core” and they had to commit they wanted to stay or it was assumed they wanted to be laid off. Imagine me saying trump isn’t as bad as the other guy.

jololikejazz.bsky.social•30 days ago

That Elon tweet you included is so goddamn creepy btw
