A Fork in the Road?

If you’re a federal worker and you got the buyout email from the Trump administration, you might want to Google “Trump stiffs contractors,” before taking this offer seriously.

Don’t get stiffed.

I’m so glad you are my Senator.

So you want brave average people to take a stand while some of your colleagues you sit next to tried to overthrow our country,

And search the pending court cases from Twitter employees who took the buyout Musk offered that used some of the same wording. Twitter never paid.

Hold the line, friends. Don’t let them push you out.

“Musk severance payments” might also return relevant results

abilityrules.bsky.social•33 days ago

Facts are slowly coming to light. There are still more questions than answers. Am Prospect reports that the memo was sent by former Musk employees at X. They are now at the office of Personnel Management. No one checked to see if Trump has the authority to make the offer.

Fascists intend to make people feel anxiety, uncertainty, and confusion. This is simply one example of them using the tactic to destabilize the federal government and the American culture.

Bingo ! Trump The Stiff

cometroid.bsky.social•33 days ago

hey senator thanks for this helpful suggestion, here's one for you: nothing in the email was a buyout offer it's actually just an illegal scam to get civil servants to voluntarily resign so trump can replace them with bootlickers or not replace them at all to the detriment of the country

As someone else pointed out this is the exact same trick Elon played at his companies. It’s not a “buyout.” The money has not been authorized by Congress. They are playing games. Don’t fall for this bullshit.

Thank you Senator Heinrich for standing up for working people!

Fighting Voter suppression needs to be number one priority or 2026 will be worse.

Federal employees, stay federal employees. There is no buy-out. There is no VISP. There is no severance. It is an 8-month notice, with no guarantee you won't be cut short and dry. You're better off getting fired. Seek legal counsel. Due process is due.

The Buyout Scam

The con is simple, yet profound,
Push the skilled out, bring the clowns.
Out with knowledge, in with fools,
Government run by partisan tools.

You can just write things out in clear and concise language. No need for cutesy stuff. Trump is a corrupt, piece of shit liar, who is not to be trusted. There, I helped you out.

Fight back! Here's how!

jackaldaytona.bsky.social•33 days ago

A Musk screwed a bunch of people at twitter out of severance when he pulled the exact same thing over there.

sfedogmom.bsky.social•33 days ago

I have no confidence that the severance packages will ever be paid.

pajaro505.bsky.social•33 days ago

Spoke today with a civil servant, the freeze affecting payments for contractors, term hires, etc. Seems to me intent is to foster undertainty, stall gov't actions. Thank you for being there for NM.

@senatorheinrich.bsky.social You need to press harder on gumming up the works for our illegitimate president. Here is a simple playbook: https://indivisible.org/resource/how-senate-democrats-can-shut-down-trumps-agenda-procedural-hardball

How are you and the rest of the Dems not already doing this?

tulliuscicero43.bsky.social•33 days ago

Edit: the *so-called* “buyout” memo. There *is* no buyout. It’s an offer to let federal workers continue to work remotely until September if they agree to resign then. That’s all. (It’s also contractually sketchy to say the least.)

prevailingwinz.bsky.social•33 days ago

Senator maybe instead you should consider extending your offices to provide clarity and encourage federal employees to push back on all of this illegal activity. Please know that those who care about democracy are looking for strong leadership right now, not making sure they get paid if they move on

bonearama.bsky.social•33 days ago

Laken Riley is watching you.

miazz.bsky.social•33 days ago

same for Twitter employees when Musk took over
