I plan to take it I’m not going to be in a place not wanted to be treated like crap, if the unions were so strong thus would be stopped but my supervisors are unsure what is happening and scared for their jobs

There's no money allocated for this and the email is almost identical to that sent by Musk to twitter employees when he took over. Those employees still aren't paid years later.

My job is supposed to be apolitical; I’m an inpatient pharmacy technician. I’m ignoring that email - I’m on leave for 2 weeks and can’t respond anyway - and I told a panicked coworker to do the same.

Pharmacy tech jobs available in just about every town in Canada. Just saying.
Stay strong 💪

Your job could probably be outsourced to the private sector.

Aren’t all US government officials and politicians federal employees?

Thank you for this. I've sent it to two nieces who are federal employees.

I have a serious story for you, too. I have dictator phobia

Disturbing shit!

You might also want to know about the new Gen. Counsel over at OPM: Kloster wrote, “Consent is probably modern society’s most pernicious fetish.” “Slaves owe us reparations.” In 2023, roughly 6 month after being served a restraining order, he tweeted, “I need a woman who looks like she got punched.”

So, paying millions of people their full salary for 8 months for doing no work is saving or wasting tax payer dollars??? Elon, please go back to paying people to boost your score in video games. The "demons in your mind" that you said video games help tame, are creating havoc in the real world.

jobjohnny.bsky.social•24 days ago

It cost a lot to fix up all the shit democrats have destroyed in the last 4 years.
It will be done whether the left likes it or not.
AMERICAS BACK!

You seem petrified of facts, so boo:
One of the most deep pocketed and hyper-experienced litigants lost 61 of 62 court cases trying to prove election fraud and THEN decided to launch a bloody coup attempt, and sat on his large behind determinedly for 3 hours hoping his VP would be assassinated.

friedokra.bsky.social•24 days ago

Elon, instead of making things efficient, appears determined to pay millions of people working for us their regular salary while they do nothing: first, when he demanded a government shutdown and now with the opm memo, which offers to pay millions of gov workers 8 months of salary for no work.

And you, dear friend, based on your image, are grasping tightly to your fairy tale super heros. Are you happy Donny reduced FAA safety? Is that part of your fantasy?

trueblue47.bsky.social•24 days ago

also, who actually believes that Trump and Co won't renege on the severance deal??????????????????????

nana-nj.bsky.social•25 days ago

I keep hearing this in my head. It’s actually appropriate.

ladyfish.bsky.social•25 days ago

Dem Officials need to put muscle behind providing organizing efforts for citizens to vocally support the Federal Workforce. Give citizens places to go and RALLY for the Federal Workers!!!! Start booking arenas like you did for the Harris Campaign!💪🏼💪🏼💯💯

sam-benning.bsky.social•24 days ago

He's trying to get as many people to quit as possible so he can replace them with MAGA loyalists. This is a blatant attempt to consolidate power.

friend802.bsky.social•25 days ago

He's doing this to privatize these agencies, especially the VA.

jsblain.bsky.social•25 days ago

It’s not only legally dubious, it contains a thinly veiled threat: sign the ‘voluntary resignation’ letter by Feb 6, or you’ll be fired when ‘we’ decide you’re not ideologically pure. These are people whose only ‘crime’ is that they believe in the justice system. Scary and sad.

billhooper5.bsky.social•25 days ago

Liberals love to have the government keep on growing.

sam-benning.bsky.social•24 days ago

Conservatives love government so small, it fits right in your bedroom.

billhooper5.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is that why a Democrat introduced a law against masturbation?

sam-benning.bsky.social•24 days ago

Mississippi state Senator Bradford Blackmon?

Who introduced the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act" bill to the Mississippi legislature?

Is that who you are referring to?

billhooper5.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yep. That is the one. Now that Democrat truly wants to police the bedroom. Kind of creepy if you ask me. ;-)

sam-benning.bsky.social•24 days ago

You're right. Definitely a completely serious piece of legislation with a realistic chance of passing.

But hey, at least the republicans haven't actually passed totally similar bounty-hunter laws, except with abortions instead of masturbation!

traceyfrank.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump wants a "brain drain"....he wants minions to do his bidding, no questions asked.

happyresistor.bsky.social•24 days ago

Also, say all the Federal employees accept the buyout. Who's to say Trump won't cut off the payment with his next executive order budget freeze? Or that Musk won't DOGE the fuck out of that budget item?

thegreenonion.bsky.social•25 days ago

hamkold.bsky.social•24 days ago

As a former government employee, only take a buyout if you're very close to your planned retirement age. Be sure to confirm details with union reps and other advisors. Unless, of course, you already have a better job lined up.

moongirlsusie.bsky.social•25 days ago

Just call it what it is: Fuck in the Road. Aka, bend over, fed employees.
