Things are a lot more like they used to be than they are now. It's starting to feel like we're all standing in a rickety shack cantilevered over Hell's septic tank.

I work at SSA. We've been understaffed for years, especially in areas that serve the public. Many employees have left recently and more have chosen voluntary reassignment. They've been moved from positions deemed non-essential (mostly IT Specialists) into public-facing positions, which should help.

Guidance for us at SSA is to reply. I'd prefer not to, because f*ck Musk and DOGE and trump and every low-information voter who put him in office, but I will. Reluctantly. I suspect that AI will be used in some way to peruse the replies, and parse them for... what? Keywords? Fealty?

Maybe it's the people being referenced in this article?

You have to applaud the transparency; they don't even try to hide the corruption anymore. Ok, maybe 'applaud' isn't the right word. Condemn?

I work at a three-letter-acronym agency. I know of one person who took it. And this person did so with zero guidance from our agency, simply trusting the OPM emails. NFW.

Senate dems plot to shake their fists at trump and maybe even write a strongly-worded letter. Probably.

A lot of fun replies here. I work for a 3-letter-acronym fed agency, there's no way I'm considering the proposed severance. I report to and take direction from the heads of my agency, not from OPM. Those emails got flagged as spam and then archived. They've abused the right to say something stupid.

When these MFers get to hell they're going to walk right up to Satan, poke their finger in his chest and say, "I was told there would be a special place for me."

No shit! Everybody who wants to know that knows it already. The dinosaurs graze in the last warm valley avoiding the icy winds. Where are the democratic congressman?? Anyone to speak out?

This is truth, right here. Non-partisan federal employees will be targeted first for termination and replaced with loyalists. Says it right in the f'ing project 2025 document. I've worked in IT @ SSA for almost 20 yrs; this is the first time I've worried about my job.

The union will fight this. I work for SSA. Before he left, O'Malley signed an agreement w/AFGE which allows us to cont TW at current levels thru 2029. What Id like to see is a policy change which makes it easier for govt to fire those who don't perform. The ones who F off at home also F off in offc.

While I agree that threats are never the answer, the very crimson-throated part of me would love to see Ms Crockett whup the livin crap out of Nancy Mace - that woman is a skintag with eyes.

The left side of the bell curve. They listened to and believed every. Single. Lie. And here we all are.
