They erased these employees so thoroughly that they can’t find them to rehire. This tells me that there’s no way in hell all of these federal workers are getting their promised payout
They became billionaires by a fluke of birth, generational wealth, right time, right place, and the work of others that they had no qualms in exploiting. It came so easy to them that they now think they are Masters of the World.
If we aren’t using stories like this and words like “reckless” and “dangerously incompetent” whenever we talk about this admin, then what are we even doing?
Just the beginning....wait till the terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and pandemics start. You can't fire all the experts and replace them with computer hackers.
This is an absolute clown show. They cut 16% of the workforce that is tasked with maintaining our nuclear stockpile as well as monitoring the rest of the worlds nuclear activities. Then they call them back like it was an April fools joke.
The incompetence is breathtaking and embarrassing!
Can you imagine the states of mind of these employees? They are being jerked around. In the private sector, they might be offered raises and bonuses to get them back. I know that I would be a disgruntled employee who needs to keep applying for other jobs.
No, they won't make significantly more at SpaceX when Elon hires all of them after getting a contract to outsource the job for 10X the price, 9X of which is for him.
All this is no rookie mistake, it's Trump 2, so this time they came prepared, with a plan. It's just that the plan is to destroy the US from within and reign on the rubbles like Trump 1 plan was, but this time they know how to do it.
Yes they do, but the question is how much pain do those that thought they were getting a different version of their Messiah going to stay quiet and compliant? They are taking a chain saw to the sections of the govt that his "uneducated" poor voters rely on for their Frosted Flakes.
I’m afraid many of them are still glued to Faux Spews and other r-wing media. Until the hammer actually comes down on them, they remain ignorant. Thanks to Rupert Murdock Mitch McConnell and the rest of the r-wing Idiocracy.
"The agency’s quick reversal was announced Friday in an all-staff meeting. The NNSA is seeking to recall the workers because they deal with sensitive national security secrets, according to the people, who weren’t authorized to talk about the matter, which is not public."
They seem to believe that they are masters of the universe and the government does nothing for them. Personally, I’d like to know if a tornado is heading my way or if the food I just purchased is tainted.
Yeah, because we still... ummm... have a bunch of them, and it we need some people who actually know how they work before some 19 year old hacker decides it would be cool to "play a game". (Sorry to all you 19 year olds who know better)
The nuclear specialists should agree to return as contractors for three times their salaries. Defeat Elon’s “break it and then fix whatever shouldn’t be broken” BS methodology.
His “fail faster, learn faster” credo is why the Gulf of Mexico is full of taxpayer-funded rocket debris.
Musk got rich because of millions of People who buy'd his shit and supported him...now should be the time that millions of people take their money back 😏
A former student worked for Tesla. He was fired during a mass firing then asked to come back. He declined. How many of these people will say “eff it” and not go back? Not worth the risk.
“Move fast and break things” right? So stupid. These Silicon Valley people have entirely too much money and an entirely over inflated sense of their own worth and knowledge. They should be arrested and jailed.
So, Musk, acting without Constitutional authority fired people whose jobs are integral to the functioning of the agency that he targeted
- every single one of these people now has grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit against the private citizen Elon Musk
I think they can find some unqualified loyalist out of their 10K that could do that job. Keep us without that last card that is often used to intimidate and say how"strong the US is" & we may have found a loophole to screw their plan (at least delay it).Screw suing for wrongful termination, resign.
If only he would’ve posted the receipts on time, we might’ve actually been able to help avoid this quicker, but still… Zero fucking transparency and little hearts celebrating Valentine’s Day on an official government website website
I know people need their jobs but ngl, it would be hilarious if they refused to come back and demanded huge raises.
You know they'd hire a bunch of df nepo babies and get us all Chernobyled, but there would be at least like 10 solid minutes of us laughing our asses off first.
This clown show @ NNSA included one of my fam — highly skilled in nuclear safety, high level security clearance, perfect merit scores, in 2nd of probation. They were fired yesterday with 0 notice, rehired today. Not only a serious threat to national security — but complete waste of money & talent.
The status of America is: vulnerable. He has no idea what or whom these Americans are he's firing, obviously. It's like playing Russian Roulette as a federal employee right now. We moved 1900 miles from everyone I know, I resigned in 2015. Govt. work is demanding. 84-114 hours a week for months.
I too was DoD employee for 10 years. Some of the most dedicated, hardworking, and intelligent colleagues I have known, defied all my stereotypes about faceless bureaucrats.
absolutely, thank you for your service. <3 It's not easy, it's unappreciated, it goes unnoticed and the pay is shit compared to private. Keeping good people for these jobs going forward will be very difficult now.
and I worked with Salmon, not nukes. My supervisor, horrible person. I was on a barge (empty) transporting juvenile salmon for the USACE when I got a call from my Aunt telling me my grandmother fell getting the mail. Told me if you want to say your goodbye, get here. I text my supervisor..
the barge was empty, I was returning to get more salmon to "turn and burn". well, I messaged her and she replied "only if you can find someone to cover you". Well, we always started the year with a full crew(8). Lost half by the end of the second month so we worked perpetually.. no one to cover.
she died the next day while I was still on the barge. This woman, served in WW2 building planes and nursed me to health after I had heart surgery when I was 17. I wanted to join the USNavy, couldn't so I joined public service instead. Loved fish, couldn't take it anymore. Burnout is real.
Make sure they value him. Demand higher pay more time off and guaranteed employment until they retirement. Fuck these aholes. Fraud waste and abuse my ass. Cancel all Elon govt contracts and put his ass in jail
I hope the demand a salary increase. Like double? Triple? And a notarized statement signed in blood that they will never be terminated, laid off, made redundant, etc ever again.
The delays and confusion, the uncertainty and insecurity idiot moves like this from MAGA have a very deep cost in themselves.
It's disruption with purpose.
A first wave attack, there will be more.
If I was a foreign intelligence agency, I think I’d be interested in checking out these people’s Linkdin pages. Well done maga. You really are all about America First.
No they are a bunch of bumbling idiots with too much money and not enough knowledge. Fucking with this countries government isn't like playing around with the social media. They are leaving our country open for attacks by any ad all enemies, which are becoming larger in numbers by the hour,
After what Musk did to Twitter not sure why anyone thought handing him the keys to the whole government was a good idea. I think last time I checked it was valued at 80% less than when he bought it.
Unfortunately, the real value in owning Xitter is not the stock price but the ability to pump out disinformation.
Besides, Muck and his Saudi investors are so rich that they don’t need to worry about losing a few piddling billions.
No worries people 👀, calm down 😱, the mighty smelly felon , yes felon, felon & f'elon will assign Fred Flintstone and Bernie Rubble🦖🦕 to become the new energy specialist tsars of nuclear energy. What could possibly go wrong, right?! Can we go back to our own dimension please? Don't recommend half ⭐.
There seems to be a pretty obvious blowback risk in taking a bunch of nuclear energy specialists, including those tasked with nuclear security, and jerking them around like this.
Exactly what he did at Twitter as @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social documented in Character Limit.
But it’s way different to need to recall engineers if your like count is low than if your dealing with freaking NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!
Every action the sockpuppet admin as we are under occupation by enemy states has been and will be done to damage our country or its standing with the world. Dismantle the government until civil unrest allows them to invoke martial law and corral anyone not in support the labor force and imprisoning
I’m sure all these people with security clearances being laid off, thrown into financial precarious situations, will not be targeted by hostile foreign powers willing to pay for secrets.
"All you Twitter engineers? YER FIRED, HAHAHAHAHA! . . . Uhh, guys? Umm, we, uh, kind of need you guys? Can we, umm, rescind that part about firing you? heh heh."
Stupidity and incompetence. Those are major characteristics of the doge team and it's approach. It will never ever help anyone or be useful. Even the billionaires it's supposed to help will get nothing from it's activities.

He know’s Tesla’s on a downward spiral so he bought a president.
Every disaster, breakdown, shortage etc. is going to trace right back to the source.

You're thinking of a system that would _actually_ evaluate people via competence and merit.
Actually, for like the fourth time today.

How high was Musk ?

Secure the 💰 and all the benefits needed for their families and themselves.
I’ll start openers with a 300% raise and unlimited PTO.

It’s stupid all the way down.
