This week's illegal firings of high performing workers leaves no room for debate: federal workers are about to be penalized whether they speak out or not. So I ask federal workers is: when will the benefit of complying with DOGE become so insignificant that it becomes *advantageous* to speak […]

@jik Nuremburg was, surely, enough indication that people shouldn't obey illegal orders unless they're prepared to accept personal responsibility for their illegal acts?

@TimWardCam @jik Not a lot of octogenarians still in Federal service, and I'd bet they don't have a lot of emphasis on that history in their training materials...

@jik I'm so sorry to hear this. What DOGE is doing is grabbing power by removing fed workers committed to serving the public. Please post any info you have about legal funds for fired workers.

jik.federate.social.ap.brid.gy•45 days ago

@tobie1 I don't know about legal funds per se, but I have connections to people who are involved in helping feds who were fired illegally take legal action, so any federal worker who is looking to get connected with legal representation is welcome to DM me and I will try to help them reach the […]

@jik I know the unions have been fighting these wrongful firings. I gather probationary fed workers have fewer protections and may not have joined the union. Legal services are expensive. I'm happy to contribute something. Do post if you hear of anything. And thank you for being so committed […]

jik.federate.social.ap.brid.gy•45 days ago

@tobie1 For the record, while it's true that probationary workers have fewer protections, they still can't be fired without cause. All of the firings in the past few days have been illegal. Multiple lawsuits are being prepared as I type this.

tobie1.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy•45 days ago

@jik Good! Keep fighting. I send my Republican Representative letters every week and will be sure to mention that fed workers cannot be dismissed for no reason. Hang in there. Millions of us are on your side.

@jik

Here's hoping for a lawsuit that will reverse that rash and stupid move.

Meanwhile, why not take a leaf from Alt National Park Service? If you can make people laugh that helps your cause!

The amount of love and support from the fedi pouring into my notifications tonight is very much appreciated. I don't take it for granted, and I appreciate you all. 🫂

@jik I just saw and I want to belatedly add to the chorus. Solidarity. ❤️

@jik This is a textbook Palace Coup. Done by the numbers. Tonight you may not have a job. In the coming months you may not have a country. None of us wont. Bury backdoors now, if you still have the system access.
