    Everyone thought they were electing a rooster into the henhouse, but the rooster brought in a fox and no one has a shotgun.

    Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

      It’s almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It’s a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women’s gold medals!!

      You could also mention the Tesla Supercharger team.

      And you might also draw parallels that this seems more like spite or other personal whim, rather than motivated by the needs of the organization, or applied with any intelligence

      He fired the pandemic response team a few years before covid, because who needs that.

    The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

      I didn’t know this. But his casino in NY, played out a gambler, they basically got that gambler into the position of owing money. (He had already been draining the casino by winning). When he lost he owed the casino money but the Japanese Mafia killed him before he could pay it.

      I think that was talked about in the documentary Hyper Normalization by Adam Curtis. It’s on yt if you’re interested.

      NYC wasn’t paying back their bank loans, so banks stopped loaning to them. Then Trump started buying the derelict property and building for the rich and sort of became a bank for nyc. It looks like he’s making this scenario happen to USA. Making USA poor so he can buy it back and sell it to the rich.

    You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.

      You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration

      And you would be right. There’s no doubt that some government agencies are bloated and overstaffed. But what this administration is doing is not even close to fixing any of these problems. They set out to allegedly trim a few sick trees and instead they’re burning down the entire forest!

    It’s all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.

      It’s scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.

      I’ve been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I’ll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

      This seems like the type of job you could be patriotic about. Real patriotic, not fascist clown show. You have stuff with unmatched danger to millions of people for potentially centuries. This is real shit and this job might be among the most important on earth. (Or maybe it’s just my imagination since I have no idea what the reality is)

      I’m proud of my job, yet all I’m doing is helping other employees generate more bits. If I help other employees do more with less, more quickly, do these clowns count it as waste?
