Elon Musk is facing criticism for targeting Ashley Thomas, a federal climate official, by reposting a right-wing troll’s comment labeling her job as a “fake job.”
Musk’s actions, reminiscent of his past harassment of ex-Twitter employee Yoel Roth, prompted concerns about the safety of federal employees.
This comes as Musk prepares to co-lead Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, aiming to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget, potentially outsourcing roles to private companies.
Critics argue Musk’s tactics intimidate public servants while benefiting billionaire-owned businesses.
the absolute audacity of this piece of shit, who has demonstrated that he has the fakest job on earth, literally doing nothing but scrolling through twitter all day, calling someone else's job fake. even after sucking up to the president elect the best he got was a fake position on a fake agency that's not even official. fucking clown.
Privitizing will obviously be more, not less, expensive. These supposed prodigies of wealth generation think creating middlemen is a good call? Elon makes 80% of his money through the government and the rest through stupid investors, I guess he well represents the middleman class.
VA has scheduled more retirements for December than they've ever had in a single month, and that includes 2016. Not unique to them either, it's up pretty much across the board with all the agencies.
It's fucking infuriating because federal employees have some of the strongest unions in the country, but everytime a shit head gets elected, all the senior people with a sense of ethics decide to get out of the way opening up senior positions for people without ethical concerns of the incoming administration.
As fucked up as it is to say it, shit hasn't gotten bad enough that people want to fight. They still think they'll be better off staying out of it.
If anybody wants one less person in the federal government who will just do whatever trump says and won't resign when things start to suck (they're gonna suck). Then be the change you want to see. Don't let them be the only ones trying to get a spot.
If you've applied to several hundred jobs on USAjobs already, even with full veterans preference, you already know you'll basically need a professional Government resume writer to assist you if you want anything higher than, like, a GS-8.
I look forward to you taking a government job under a hostile administration with your coworkers constantly looking to make your life hell and get you fired, endangering your career and making financial security impossible. Hopefully you don't have a family. I appreciate that you're willing to make this sacrifice for us, @[email protected].
I don't know if this is a good enough reason to encourage someone to work for the government. It's a dead end for good people so you need to play the game, be happy with being a drone, or leave.
No movement is going to stop the momentum at this point. This reactor is going to have to spin itself faster until it breaks.
Be Best was a public-awareness campaign promoted by former First Lady Melania Trump, which focused on well-being for youth and advocating against cyberbullying.
No, this is not the onion. The irony is unfathomable.
Lately he seems more like Bizzaro to me. He has more power than anyone but he comes across as a dumb meathead now who thinks doing bad things is good so he wants to beat up all the heroes
