fukhuesonElon Musk publicized the names of U.S. government employees he wants to cut. It's terrifying federal workers
So quit. You provide a valuable service. Don’t do it anymore.
If Govt services cease to function they fail.
Trump wants to kill branches, then show why they were made by their absence.
Personally I like to keep getting paychecks while I line up my next job opportunity
Malicious compliance. Do what you're told, exactly what you're told, no more, no less. Have you been doing "something" that nobody has told you to do, that's outside of your job description? Stop doing that thing.
Make sure you take your time. Don't hurry. Haste burns you out, stop it. Do not start working before the start of your day, and do not work past the end of it. If you are doing this, you are enabling wage theft. Go home, your time belongs to you.
!Resist
GhostalmediaThe trick is to practice malicious compliance that targets Trump, and not American citizens who want watchdogs.
They’re working class people and the job market is shit. “Just quit” is a much bigger statement when you don’t have another job lined up and have bills to pay.
They took a political position. They have a stance no matter what. Right now if they keep working that means they support Trump.
Flying SquidCivil service positions are apolitical. You are supposed to do them regardless of which party is in charge. That’s the whole point. Otherwise literally nothing would ever get done.
That is true right up until camps are build. It started under the last Trump admin and continued under Biden. Anyone still in office is complicit.
In office? What are you talking about?
Civil service jobs are not elected positions.
If Govt services cease to function they fail
And thousands if not millions of people die, depending on how long it goes on for.
IninewCrowScrew them and hold on to your job for as long and as hard as you can.
Sure one person fighting is nothing to a billionaire … but a few thousand employees taking the government to court for this stupidity will definitely affect the billionaire.
Authoritarianism wins as soon as we all just give up and allow them to take control.
100% this. Not only that, but if you quit you can’t apply for unemployment.
So you only stand for something if you get unemployment?
halcyoncmdrThe reality of living in this country is a factor. Not everyone is in a position financially to quit their job and probably blacklisted from their industry.
We do not have an adequate social safety net in this country. To be able to make principled stands without having to worry about your future prospects, you’d have to be independently wealthy, like the fuckers doing this shit. And that’s entirely by design with the policies they’ve made happen over the last 60+ years. Over a quarter of this country lives paycheck to paycheck now, that will include a lot of federal employees.
This just means you don’t stand for anything but your address.
I’m finding I have even less support and sympathy for those in DC than I thought. They need hardship.
Ah, so a couple questions to see if you’re just a fucking idiot that thinks idealism can be reality, or if you’re even relevant to the conversation.
These are people choosing their home over their principles.
Some of us have children who depend on us.
Yes they do, and they see that you stand for nothing.
Why are you lying about me? You know nothing about me.
Lying? I stated what I saw. Someone who would sell out there position for rent. For the land they sit on.
What you saw was this:
Some of us have children who depend on us.
Everything else came from your fevered imagination.
FWIW I went off on dude on your behalf lol
Thank you.

Not only that
I’m not sure what you missed there
DeadWorldDidn’t this guy ban the @elonjet account for doing a lesser version of this?
IHeartBadCodeYeah I think that's the frustrating part of this. Either allow elonjet back or get banned for doing this. But having it both ways shows how shit a person Elon Musk is.
If anyone asks, to me, it's THIS aspect of it that's the big problem. Musk is literally doing the thing that he hated about elonjet.
lumpenproletariatThe thing he hated about Elonjet was that it targeted him.
This from the guy who smoked weed on the Joe Rogan p;dcast, talked about how he does ketamine at parties, and has been talking to Pootles for the last year, all while having a security clearance. Yeah
CorkyskogHow’s Rogan even allowed to own a gun?
His friends are cops who don’t care. They get different rules from us.
vaultdweller013I feel like the ATF would be more than willing to act like assholes given even the thinnest of excuses, wait does Rogan have dogs?
Don’t like him and not sure how well this is gonna work out BUT there are too many useless people in government jobs in a lot of countries and with their work ethic they often couldn’t hold jobs in the more competitive free market so I agree with the core principle of what they want to do, but I am sure the approach will be total ass.
Emily (she/her)The problems in government are structural and systematic, not individual. The bureaucracy was built into what it is through the accumulation of regulations, poorly implemented policies and agendas, as well as plain mismanagement. Likewise, when the cost of a failed project is a political shitstorm and a parliamentary enquiry, and beyond that you are expected to be entirely accountable and transparent, you need to be risk averse.
You can’t just fix these issues by proclaiming to fire everyone. You need to fix structural and leadership problems.
MyOpinionI would like to publicize the name of a piece of human shit: Elon Musk. I would also like to cut him from the government as well.
samus12345DOGE isn’t an actual department with any power, as it wasn’t created by an act of Congress. I guess Elon’s power will just be telling Trump who to fire?
Directing angry mobs at people in these positions could be an effective way of vacating them whether it’s an “official” department or not.
Im hoping when the time comes to actually create the department someone will inform Trump that’s not really something he can do, and Trump will just shrug and forget about it, while Musk starts crying in the corner.
Honestly, I’m half expecting some disenfranchised kid to learn from the Ukrainian conflict, and take one of these muppets out with a drone. It’s pretty tricky to shoot even as large a target as trump with his security cordon, but this pillock wanders around in public, and it really would be pretty ironic for someone to live-stream the tech-daddy moron getting fpv’d into a fine paste
I was kind of thinking the same thing lately. Trump hides behind bulletproof glass now, but he’s not completely surrounded and certainly doesn’t have a top on it. People have made bombs out of common household chemicals in the past and performance drones with a fairly long signal range are commercially available to everyone. Would be pretty easy for someone with a bit of ingenuity or craftiness to possibly take him out . I’m actually surprised nobody has tried that yet which leads me to believe they have some kind of signal jamming technology to prevent that exact scenario.
As the IRA famously put out once, you have to get lucky every time we have to get lucky once. Its one of those things where if enough people keep trying and improving they will find a chink in the defenses. I suspect it will probably be seen first with either Musk or one of Trumps other toadies.
