DoD here. Our reckoning comes this week. I’m at one of the most mission critical sites on the east coast, so I’m hoping that means something.

Looks like it’s mostly probationary employees for now but you can’t really predict anything with this administration

Has anybody here been laid off or know someone who has?

Yeah I work in the fed. My agency appears relatively safe according to everything I read about it on project 2025.

I know people from the CFPB and USAID that have been affected though. Funnily enough, they’re still being paid as they’re on indefinite administrative leave with no work to do or not allowed to do any work.

So I’m confused about the admin leave thing. Are people not actually fired yet? Just on admin leave? Or are the admin leave people the ones who took the fork email?

This whole thing is a clusterfuck

Also reading the project 2025 plan for dod is actually a pretty smart idea that I didn’t think of. Thanks for that

Complete clusterfuck nobody really knows s*** tbh. I think probationary employees were fired and maybe some term employees, and maybe it’s just luck that the people I know were placed on admin leave instead? I think a judge blocked further firings for the moment. If you took the fork I believe you’re just on admin leave but I’ve heard some took the fork and were still fired.

Been following /r/fednews on Reddit for updates. But yeah you might get some insight into their moves by reading Project 2025, might be harder for DoD since it’s so large, my agency is fairly niche but still had like 50 pages relevant to it.

Also knew one dude who took the Fork in the Road thing but he was eligible for retirement anyway

data collection to the

op is a fed

wtf this site is crawling with feds

Lol

Fork only made sense if you were about to retire anyways. I fully expect non-retiring forkers to get rugpulled

My friend does and she said she got the email from Elon asking what she did this week

So stupid

My only concern is that I don't think VERA was authorized by every agency for the Fork. So even retirees might get a surprise rugpull

Yea we all got one. We’re holding a meeting tomorrow to figure out if we should respond lol

tf

Damn I like you OP, shame you had to reveal this. Hopefully you lose your job and you can reform yourself.

retired but yeah and he’s going after the post office it’s ggs

Reform myself from what exactly?

Being a fed i assume

Come up with a prompt and have chat gpt do the rest of the work, matter fact have grok do it.

Hmm maybe not cause he can see all the data being sent to grok

elon isn't hated enough

nah but im pretty sure my industry get a good chunk of fed funding so im kinda worried that things will be bad in the future

Nothing wrong with federal work. It isnt much different from state work depending on what you’re doing. I supply drinking water

Not everyone is some evil fbi/cia/nsa drone. I think that’s where the federal boogeyman thing comes from but not really sure

Yea I believe funds/credit cards are frozen rn. This s*** is a mess man

ya like we also get a lot from state/private sources as well but of course it wouldn't sustain the company as it is right now. mess fr
