Summary
Elon Musk and his allies have reportedly taken control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and bypassed officials to send a mass resignation email to over 2.3 million federal employees.
The email, titled “Fork in the Road,” offers buyouts to those who voluntarily resign, mirroring a similar approach Musk used at Twitter.
Musk has placed close associates in leadership positions at OPM, raising concerns over his growing influence in Trump’s administration.
Federal employees remain skeptical about the buyout’s legitimacy.
Good. Fuckem. As a former federal employee myself, I can say with confidence that I have never worked with a more worthless, self serving bunch of inept check collectors than I have trying to deal with federal employees from the inside. HR is completely ineffectual. Administration has its head so far up its own ass they can see teeth. IT is constantly isolated, discouraged, and blamed for inefficiency they can do nothing about. I was just a dumb dumb welder and even I was off put by how chaotic every day ended up being due to miscommunication and ineptitude. Unpaid OT, meal break violations, employee rights violations, its all there every day and nobody cares. When I spoke up about my experience, I was shitcanned for not shutting up and taking my lumps. When I went to the union, I was told they’re too poor to actually make waves. I hope every federal employee has a very nice get fucked for the rest of their careers in the government.
I can sense you’re a trustworthy person and that your story is highly credible.
Even if someone showed me the video evidence of you sexually harassing female employees, I wouldn’t believe it.
I will die on the hill that you we’re fired for standing up for your rights and righteousness, and not because you kept showing up for work late or repeatedly talking loudly about your breastfeeding fetish.
