The civil service serves as the State's ballast. As elected officials come and go, it's there to offer statistics, intelligence, observations, experience and non-partisan advice. This is an attempt to make authoritarian change permanent. Sorry-the comparison is unavoidable. This is what Hitler did.
This is happening people
This is we the people losing our Democrasy
At this rate, the riots in the 60's will pale in comparison to what might happen next
We go about our daily lives as mainstream media has normalized this behavior all while this is happening
Yes, this scares me
Out of how many Democrats in Congress I’ve only heard of 4 maybe 5 that have spoken out against THE FRAUD!! I say Coma because it’s ridiculous that none of the older democrats have said BOO
I rely on the OPM for my retirement. Your story is frightening, and thanks for writing about it, but can you reach out to an investigative journalist? What about your legislators - assemblyman, rep or senator? Perhaps if you and some of your co-workers did it together it would have more weight.
Just about a week ago, I was hired by a federal agency, after I’d put in 20-odd years of volunteering. Two days ago, the paid positions held by my coworkers & me vanished. Our supervisor is doing everything she can to keep us on and our pay coming in - God bless her! We intend to stay regardless.
The only downside to that from my perspective, is that if you end up volunteering and not being paid, the paid jobs will never come back. That said, I hope you are able to continue what you are doing for awhile.
You're most welcome. I have utmost respect for government employees, my spouse retired from local and my daughter works in local, so I know the struggles. One more thing, if I may. Don't take the buyout. Elon's idea, and for Twitter employees? He never paid them, from my understanding. Best wishes.
#Musk wanted to gain control of the #OPM & #OMB data bcuz he knows that if he tries a blanket stoppage of payments, grants, etc, millions of yt ppl will be affected, & they will riot. Now he can filter the data, & selectively target certain groups to cut off, & those exempt(yt) will just go along.
Yes. The crap has been scared out of me. But now what? I don’t know what to do. My representatives in congress are Democrats; they will do what they can.
No! They won’t unless YOU and everyone stand up and DEMAND they do! Most of them sitting silently allowing this to happen in Congress & senate & im talking about elected DEMOCRATS!
