4 different unions are suing them over it…
It’s not exactly OPM realizing anything, they’re actively fighting multiple lawsuits over not acknowledging that…
Like, I guess if there was 5 lawsuits it would be more opposite

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible
Yep, I’m not bargaining unit, so it sucks more than most. And there’s really not many of us
But I still have a shit ton of protections anyways.
there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job.
I’ve fired federal workers, it’s just a year long hassle and giving them every plausible opportunity to improve first.
Even Republican appointed judges are turning against trump policies.
Not everything gets to the supreme court.
Pelosi’s pick for the Oversight Committee didn’t think of it till it was too late.
Don’t be too hard on him, can’t expect much out of a septigenerian actively battling throat cancer, it’s not like there was another choice, it was his turn after all.
Nah, after probation it’s pretty much impossible.
There needs to be like a year of documentation that the employee is just not doing their job.
Because of the union.
That’s why there’s this big push to resign, every tool they have to reduce the federal workforce begins with the word “voluntary”. Probate employees and contracts have reason to be nervous tho.
Even closing USAID, it stops the work they’re doing, but they’re all gonna get huge severance checks or settlements if it really closes. It’s not like the private sector where it’s individuals fighting a billion dollar corparion. It’s multiple unions that are individually some of the largest in the country whose only reason for existence is knowing an incredibly confusing system of decades of regulations…
Versus a couple teenager and college drop out techbros with zero idea what they’re doing.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had offered eight months of severance for voluntary resignations
They absolutely have not.
They said it was possible but they have zero authority to even set an end date.
Like, even pretending we had a budget, OPM can not offer this. It’s like if the DMV told you that the IRS might give out $10k if you file taxes before January 1st.
They said it…
And maybe it’s true.
But it doesn’t mean anything, and parts of it really aren’t possible
Same offer that expires tonight, they were just told they’re not excluded.
Apparently 40k (out of all feds) are taking it, but spread out between now and then those don’t match normal retirement numbers.
So it’s a safe bet the ones taking it were already planning on retiring before then, and not everyone who’s retiring trusts it.
Most agencies can’t even say when someone would be released from work duties if they accept.
I see a lot of progressives talking about how we got here, how we can fix shit, and how to not come back here again…
But I also see a lot of moderates taunting the victims of genocide…
“The left” isn’t a monolith, despite how much moderates want it, the dem voting base isn’t as blindly loyal as Republican voting base.
What?
Ironically enough, I have legitimately been to Gitmo, no idea how it’s relevant tho…
republicans could have shut that shit down for decades now.
When Clinton deregulated news media and campaign finance, it didn’t just let the rich influence the Dems, it handed the Republican party lock and key to them.
Like, everyone is bitching about Trump’s cuts to federal workers right now, completely ignorant that it took 30 years to recover from Clinton’s 90s cuts…
trump is doing the neoliberal playbook, he’s just too dumb to make people think it’s a solid plan.
Do you think the left thinks everyone on the left is perfect and out for the common people’s good?
Have you not seen the posts from neoliberals taunting progressives over how many Palestinians are being killed?
Have you not seen what happens when people talked about Biden’s flaws?
Now, I wouldn’t expect anyone to watch mainstream cable news, but if you did you’d see it’s filled with people saying it 24/7.
It’s all over the place.
And that’s just politically active people…
Most voters just flat out don’t know what happened 30 years ago, it’s worth people knowing why we’re here so we can leave and never come back.
I occasionally show up to a college alumni game and shit has changed so much.
Like, the drinking culture was out of control, but socials aren’t even really a thing anymore.
Literally the only reason I joined a team back in the day was for the parties. Good on the zoomers for not drinking as much, but it’s not like the old days.
We used to run thru 5-6 kegs on weekday nights, I was 18 years old picking up kegs from a closed liquor store at like 4am because we ran out. And carrying it blocks back the party for it to be floated in 30 minutes.
They change their label a lot, and I always get down voted for mentioning it.
But trump never would have been a candidate if it wasn’t for Clinton de-regulating everything in the 90s in exchange for donations from literally trump and people just like him.
But yeah, they took credit for the dotcom boom and started the trend of billion dollar companies paying zero in tax, because it would “trickle down” by employees taxed on salary…
So yeah, they’re the OG techbros basically.
They also took credit for crime reduction, saying it was due to their incredibly harsh sentencing guidlines, when it was the same reduction every other country got from banning leaded gas.
Neoliberal policy never worked, it just popped up when things were organically getting better. But the people from Bill and Hillary in the 90s are literally Biden/Kamala’s people. Hell, Biden literally was one of them himself, he took credit for the crime bill even. They’ve had a death grip on the party for decades, and almost nothing they’re doing actually helps people.
I’m hopeful Ken Martin breaks and takes the DNC back in a pro worker direction, but we’ll have to see.
If Kamala had won tho, the neoliberals would still be running the party, because she would have gotten to name the chair.
The rich aren’t on our side…
But good luck prying neoliberals away from their teat
“those who played with me know that I do not condone being gay for women in rugby.”
I’ve never been to Fiji…
But I can’t imagine making it to a national women’s team and still being bigoted against lesbians. Its not exactly a rare thing to run across.
Like, at least in America, it’s incredibly common for LGBT to play rugby. Hell, we had a gay pornstar on my men’s college team for a while, we gave him as much shit as anyone else on the team, but rugby culture has always been incredibly accepting.
Doesn’t matter who you are, if you’re dumb enough to join the team, you’re a part of the team.
Propaganda doesn’t mean “completely false”.
Like, they could have received huge bonuses from the IDF to “rejoin” with a cushy desk job.
But reported as their desire to place themselves in danger to defend Israel, which could sway public opinion when Israelis are mostly over it and will vote Bibi out of office the second he stops postponing elections due to his genocide.
Even if it’s true, I got a cousin who’s convoy got blown up in the ME as a US Marine. And he was the only survivor.
For over a decade the only thing he’s wanted is vengeance, to go back overseas and get “them” back.
That might be what’s happening here, but it would be a terrible fucking decision for him to go back over there. So he was medically discharged instead.
To be clear:
Although the JC includes diverse voices, internal resignations in 2024, including high-profile writers like David Baddiel and Jonathan Freedland, followed the publication of articles that were later determined to be fabricated. These articles, authored by freelance journalist Elon Perry, included claims about Israeli operations in Gaza that lacked credible sourcing and were subsequently retracted by the publication. The controversy led to the resignation of prominent columnists Jonathan Freedland, Hadley Freeman, and David Aaronovitch, who cited concerns over the newspaper’s editorial standards and the decision to publish unverified information.

This is a known propaganda source and no one should believe anything coming from in regards to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.
Propaganda is dystopian as fuck tho, so I guess I’m eaving the article up.
Oh ok…
This is one of those things where a brand new account attempts to convince people there’s no way to win and we should all give up.
Not many people fall for that these days, so I don’t think this needs my attention
You just replied to multiple of comments of mine across different threads in the span of minutes…
Is this a coincidence thing or did I block your main account and you just noticed and desperately want to restart an old argument anywhere you can?
I hate to ask, but unfortunately this wouldn’t be the first time.
So Schumer and Pelosi arent calling shots?
Did that just happen, I completely missed it…
Last I heard they were still fighting progress and complying with fascists
Well, if he tried to take the fork, he’s a forking idiot.
