The VA is rescinding job offers. A nurse I know on IG posted this. She has worked with this resident and said he’s excellent and now this. So much for this admin supporting veterans.

Smell that? It's the scent of "consequences of your decision". They got what they voted for, and unfortunately they didn't realize THEY were in the victim pool. I'm sure they were 100% fine with this if it didn't affect them personally.
I feel ZERO sympathy. Fuck them. Reap what you sow.
This will not only affect VA med centers, it will impact the care that non-veterans receive as well. Many VAs have affiliations with academic medical centers with lots of dually-employed MDs. A hiring freeze at the VA will affect hiring at the hospitals providing the most complex care.
Department of Energy too. Any position in flight that hasn't passed a background check (which typically takes 3 weeks) was halted. Apprenticeship programs for electricians and linemen posted last week on hold until the hiring freeze is over.
What’s awful is people already being hired and then they get told they’re out of a job. We have no idea how long this will last either. These departments need the employees or they wouldn’t have offered them jobs.
This happened last time, too. A friend works at OMD and helps Vets get civil service jobs. She had a group with start dates that she had to contact to tell them they weren't getting jobs after all. Some of these ppl had moved, bought new homes, had enrolled their kids in new schools. Nightmare.
Blame Nazi Stephen Miller. Hiring of federal workers has been frozen across the board. New hires are being fired in all agencies not just the VA. The rescinding of the Fed Civil Rights Employment Act will now allow them to only hire white men.
I wonder how my ex-friend (we disengaged when I learned on J6 that he's a MAGAt) who is a veteran and now on Medicaid in a nursing home is feeling about his beloved Trump now.
I don't understand how anyone actually thought that Trump would do anything to care for and support veterans - people that he calls "suckers and losers." Trump's disdain for veterans is widely, widely known.
My BIL is retiring (doctor) from VA because he’s so overworked. They would not let him work 3 days/week (he’s 65). He’d stayed because he worried about leaving his patients but he had enough and put in his papers after the election. This will cause more people to leave and be devastating for vets.
How much is this crap going to cost? First the time to write this email, then if she reapplies they have to go thru the entire process for a second time. There could be tens of thousands of these cases.
Saw a maga being interviewed who said "I would die for that man"..
they will never - SEE- him. If they were willing to die for him w covid &insurrection they hv given him their identities &souls.
They don't care how he looks.
But it does IF there's still a light in there- somewhere.
Unfortunately that’s correct. As an organization, the Democratic Party does not appear to have the first clue about effective communication on its own behalf when it’s not election season. And its election season comms aren’t anything great either.
I can't even get an appointment with my primary care, and I've been trying since Xmas. Luckily, urgent care is still there, but for how long? They want to push us into using for profit care and that's going to cost more than the VA costs now.
Yup they don’t want to cover costs. Trump is trying to cut everything so he can justify his tax cuts for billionaires. You can’t go to urgent care for continued care. That’s unfair.
Call to action here, right now. This type of thing hurts vets AND looks to me like an illegal refusal to carry out government duties as specified in our laws. If this anecdote is true, then Trump admin is breaking the law on day one. (Not sure it is true because disinformation spreads do fast 😂)
This is happening in real time due to the hiring freeze set by Tang and co. Please know it’s NOT the choice of the VA. They desperately need good people. Their hands, for the most part, are now tied. It’s absolutely despicable. 😞
I’m well aware of that. The entire federal government isn’t allowed to hire, or start the employment of people that were already hired, but hadn’t started yet.
We have a new coworker that came on board after the election. He messaged me saying he's scared. He showed me an article that mentions how the PUTOS is asking for a list of newly hired employees.
The GOP solely views vets as a prop. Given that this doesn't deter vets from voting GOP I can't say I'm bothered by them getting worse service from the VA
I applied to the patent office early January. Received an email yesterday "We regret to inform you, due to the Federal Civilian Hiring Freeze, this job announcement has been cancelled"
That sucks. If there were an end date that was definite I think it would’ve been better, but there isn’t. He said until feb 1st at the earliest, but he’s a liar so who knows.
I'm glad you posted this. There have been some pretty sad stories posted about major disruptions in people's lives because of this. Almost make me want to get on x again to share, but I won't. Hopefully maga will start spreading the word from their own experiences and maybe they will start to think?

Magats will be shocked when it hits their homes and families, it probably already has. Karma
Remember who you’ve voted for.
We're going to fuck everyone who can't help us get rich.
they will never - SEE- him. If they were willing to die for him w covid &insurrection they hv given him their identities &souls.

However, egg prices were 25% higher…oh well
Veterans get the shaft
Bend over and take it is back in vogue
