Poor barstards!
I'm so sorry to hear that.

I took my DC job because of telework,which I had for years at last job. My home is 1.25 hrs away because of telework & home prices there.I was just forced to retire &go on leave without pay for 4 weeks until my retirement date or drive everyday to DC and sit in traffic 4 hours a day starting monday.

I'm so incredibly sorry. 🫂🫂

echoey13.bsky.social•12 days ago

DC house prices have become unaffordable… Feds even live in Pennsylvania and Delaware because it’s what they can afford and they relied on their job having telework.

kim4th.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, it's why I am retiring. I bought a home far from the city that was affordable. I have teleworked for over 10 years.

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’m so sorry. It is so cruel. Sending my comfort for whatever that is worth.

kim4th.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thank you. I can't believe this is happening.

kim4th.bsky.social•14 days ago

We were told via an automated dialer, that there are 10k people coming into our offices in DC Monday and only 5k parking spaces. I was told if I can't find a parking space, I have to take leave. I do not have a train, bus or van share option where I live... [1/2]

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

WTF

kim4th.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yep, I have the voicemail on my phone.

rewritingmystory.bsky.social•14 days ago

Fucking hell, I'm so damn sorry. This is completely terrifying.

shellyvet62.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’m terrified. Every morning there’s another threatening email looking like a third grader wrote it. I’m a veteran I’ve survived over a decade of service I’m now in public service I don’t deserve this. None of us do. It’s PTSD again.

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

I'm so sorry. MAGA has no use for public service. But I remain hopeful we will restore the understanding of its value.

rewritingmystory.bsky.social•14 days ago

So many are terrified with you. I'm so sorry we all have to suffer his wrath while he is blatantly stealing from us while the top 1% count every million they earn off our backs. 🫂🫂

shellyvet62.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thank you. 🙏

revspaminator.bsky.social•14 days ago

They don't have the legal right to do this stuff.

It's all a big bluff. Why do you think all their plans were so public? To make everyone believe they could do this.

CALL THEIR BLUFF AND RESIST!

eowilson.bsky.social•14 days ago

thank you. you explain it so well. I w am watching this real life with so many friends

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

It feels like a nightmare

eowilson.bsky.social•14 days ago

it's supposed to feel that way. exhausting, belittling, soul crushing, he'll. until you quit.

eowilson.bsky.social•14 days ago

everything I see them on a zoom call it's like a hostage video. Blink if you are ok.

pumpsandgears.bsky.social•14 days ago

Sounds like you have been on the receiving end of a downsize or re-org? You are 💯 correct in your description. I have a macro theory of how we get to recession with this loon and a trigger for depression/2008 international credit crisis. "Slowly, then all at once."

adkraine.bsky.social•14 days ago

From what I read, the bozos are already working toward it.

What do you think is going to happen to prices with any consumer protections?

Or product safety?
Or health care?

I hope you’ve prepared well for all this “greatness”.

pumpsandgears.bsky.social•14 days ago

The model for our demise is Hungary - the Viktor Orban playbook. Everyone under the 1% and ruling class succumbed to his diabolical process that turned a democratic country into a fascist oligarch. Everyone's std of living fell.

adkraine.bsky.social•14 days ago

Trump and his cronies are big fans of all the dictators.

And it absolutely the recipe they followed writing (and now implementing)the Project 2025
playbook.

alv134.bsky.social•14 days ago

Well, I hope more and more of us continue to take to the streets and protest, nonviolent action, I really think that’s the message to send not to Trump musk, but dare I say, the guard.

How else do you send them a message that we need them?

pumpsandgears.bsky.social•14 days ago

I am wondering if we have an arab spring this year? More unrest than BLM? If so, I suspect martial law will be declared, constitution suspended, and heaven forbid another Kent State tragedy. The writing is on the wall and anger is building.

adkraine.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’m not sure the country has the stomach for it.

So much ignorance and apathy in the country and now we have an administration seeking to dumb us down further.

Destruction of our public schools and being replaced with vouchers.

Abject lying about news.

tabuto.bsky.social•14 days ago

Save the date. Not My Presidents Day #protest Please share this everywhere

kerimaloney.bsky.social•14 days ago

You summed it up exactly!

hittielove2.bsky.social•14 days ago

Pretty much the corporate model.

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

Sucking up to the bosses may save you! Yes, there are a lot of bosses! Here's a new one--if you like them, they won't be here long! You've got decades of experience, you say? And a job with meaning, that helps people? We told you to learn coding! We can replace you with teenagers who know coding! +

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's familiar to so many. Making us watch it as spectacle is schadenfreude for those who've been made to hate the unions and public sector workers for their benefits and protections and PTSD for the rest of us as we feel our own trauma and insecurity. They are doing more than destroying the gov't.

notakarenbutkaren.bsky.social•14 days ago

This is definitely the mood at our house. Partner of a federal employee here.

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

Feeling for you and your family!

notakarenbutkaren.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thank you. We will get through it but I worry for the folks who will be devastated.

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

😔

lutzfernandez.bsky.social•14 days ago

They want to run the country like a longstanding business rich with assets that they've decided is underperforming. They are the private equity players come in to suck the juice out of it. We are not voters in their minds but disempowered, frightened employees and consumers without choices.

notoriouscrk.bsky.social•14 days ago

Public school teachers will be next. After all, the peasants’ children can make do with AI instruction. The elites’ children will be taught by actual humans in private schools paid for at least in part by taxpayer-funded vouchers.

Anyone who has said over the past 20 years that the country should be run like a business... well, how do you like it? Seems pretty shitty to me.

eddiewilliamson.bsky.social•14 days ago

I keep hearing that this isn't legal, and that isn't legal. Dictators don't care about legality. Everything that's happening is either in Project 2025, or has been carried out by Victor Orbon. THIS IS A COUP! There is NO legality in a coup.

bialass.bsky.social•14 days ago

Exactly, well said.

Those who believe this is a farce, ACT. Trumusk is just cutting jobs on a whim. They are doing this to meet a 5% quota. What businessmen takes an axe to his business to save money. Stand Together & Everyone Act on 2/11

Late-stage capitalism has decided it can buy a whole country now.

reggiejay.bsky.social•14 days ago

It didn’t just decide it, it’s a fait accompli. And it was a total bargain. Trillions of dollars for 200 million in campaign donations and a 44 billion social media network (which he got the Saudi’s and Russia to pay for)

raqwinchester.bsky.social•13 days ago

I feel like the United States was worth a lot more than that. Art of the deal my ass.

reggiejay.bsky.social•13 days ago

The U.S. Treasury has TRILLIONS and Musk bought it for 200
Million and a social media platform. I’d say that was a bargain.

rewritingmystory.bsky.social•14 days ago

With the unemployment rate now rising so rapidly, what is his solution? Is he expecting the fired workers to take over the jobs of the immigrants he's deporting? He's gutted any type of assistance for those affected. Will homelessness rise? Ship the unemployed to gitmo? Force them into slave labor?

kim4th.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, actually. The uneducated morons who love him think the mostly highly educated federal workforce is going to be forced to pick lettuce and work in meatpacking plants. They have no idea that in fact they will be competing with them and taking the good private sector jobs. They will lose again.

makena416.bsky.social•14 days ago

That's the plan. Let's hope the courts hold up the Constitution

randomjane104.bsky.social•14 days ago

There is no solution. He doesn't care. The plan is to tank the economy, weaken the US, and leave us with no friends.

rewritingmystory.bsky.social•14 days ago

He has thrown our entire country into chaos. He's risked our safety immeasurably.

We're already at stage 7 in genocide. As he continues to weaken our entire country, if he doesn't directly cause a war, he'll certainly allow an invasion on some level.

Meanwhile he'll run and hide like Hitler.

ENCOURAGE TECH EMPLOYEES TO STRIKE. Pressure your husband and sons in tech to strike. Support your children’s teachers to strike by offering to bring food and water if they do strike. High school students can organize sit ins in their hallways. We can mobilize our close communities!!!

creativesustain.bsky.social•14 days ago

Which is why everyone and I do mean EVERYONE needs to go sign their strike card at https://generalstrikeus.com They are already taking your livelihood; do not willing give up your collective power. We can bring them all to their knees.
