why bros posts got removed

Bird Boy?

yes

What happend itt

Crashed out, decided it wasn't a good idea, and thought their safety was in jeopardy.. So they deleted everything and begged mods to delete their account. Not sure if the mods did so or not.

Crashed out over @op supplying clean water

I have no idea where they are from.. But, from what I have read from them on this site there is no way what they said in this thread was some kind of tipping point to where they should be concerned for their safety.

knowing what time it is for palestine protesters in the west im not at all surprised theyre feeling unsafe

Half the site working for the gov wtf

If they were really feeling that unsafe why post what they have posted? There are users on here who have said more controversial things and remain unapologetic.

the person isnt here to defend themselves so i dont wanna question it

Honestly nobody is safe, but it would help if her job is considered mission critical

They probably realized they were crashing out in a thread full of fed employees and got spooked despite the majority of us doing boring regular ass work

Kill elon musk pls

The Trump administration has told federal agency leaders that they can ignore the public decree from Elon Musk to effectively fire employees who do not send in bullet-point summaries of their work last week, according to three people familiar with the matter, a break with the billionaire who has exerted significant power to slash the 2.3-million-person federal workforce.

The Office of Personnel Management, a federal agency that functions as the government’s HR department, delivered the news to agency chief human capital officers on a call midday Monday, according to one of the people, an agency official on the call who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations.

Another person briefed on the call said that OPM is also looking at weekly reporting for government departments, the person said. But the person said that OPM was unsure what to do with the emails of employees who responded so far, and had “no plans” to a***yze them.

Musk on Saturday posted on his social media platform X that federal employees would receive an email asking for a list of what they did at work last week and would be considered as having resigned if they did not reply by Monday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Shortly thereafter, the email blast went out to millions of people, including federal judges and workers in the legislative branch — prompting confusion as agency heads struggled to apply the guidance to their particular work. Even before the latest directive, some agencies told workers not to comply, fearful that they might, at OPM’s behest, be disclosing information that was sensitive or important to national security.

The administration’s surprising about-face reflected the degree of unease even among senior Trump officials about the scale and ambition of Musk’s effort to gut the federal government, which has already disrupted some functions. And while agency leaders were given discretion, some departments had not signaled that they were rejecting Musk’s mandate — leaving the door open for certain federal employees to be let go if they fail to comply.

Officials also told top HR officials to adhere to the guidance they had already issued to their workforce on the timeline of return-to-office mandates, which include deadlines in mid-March, the agency official on the call said. Musk posted on X on Monday that workers who had not already returned to the office would be placed on administrative leave this week.

“There’s a full revolt going on right now,” said Doug Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, a center-right think tank. “D.O.G.E.’s stated objective was to reorganize the agencies to meet their goals, but Cabinet heads want to run their own agencies and they are objecting to the across-the-board cuts coming from Musk’s team.”

Slowly but surely this madness will end. They are flooding the zone which is a key strategy that the Trump administration has ran since 2016. They know what they’re doing is illegal so they’re causing as much damage as fast possible till the courts step in. You’re seeing it now.

would you mind explaining a little further? how long until they step in?

there has been some progress with TROs for Musk collecting sensitive data from OPM and others. AFGE filed a lawsuit also for the mass firing of employees which I believe got picked up in California by a Obama/Biden appointee judge.

The only scary part is if these court cases go positive for us, will this administration listen.

Check in with your local union also.

When i tell ktt im a plumber but yall get spooked cuz I work at NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING SYSTEMS COMMAND

so it should be pretty easy for you to get a plumbing job that isn’t for one of the most genocidal entities ever created

Pretty sure you can find jobs as a plumber without working g for the government

I would just give up with that here. People want a place to get their political angst and frustration out and will just continue to be cruel. The elite want the infighting of the poors and its just strengthening.

Crazy

First of all this was more just a joke at how the majority of fed workers are employed in regular type positions and aren’t some super devious agent of the state type positions.

And Frankly there is a moral difference between being a high-ranking official who sets military policy and being a civilian worker performing maintenance. Holding every worker responsible for the most extreme actions of the system they work within is moral absolutism and the world isnt black and white. I wouldn’t hold a Russian plumber at the FSB responsible for an assassinstion.

People work primarily to survive, not to endorse the broader system in which they work. A worker might need a job to provide for their family, pay rent, or afford healthcare, even if they personally disagree with some actions of their employer. In this specific instance it could be a plumber at this naval location pays better than a local plumbing freelancer, or maybe provides apprenticeship opportunities that freelancers in the area are not willing to take on, or healthcare coverage they specifically need, or any other reason for choosing to be employed there vs elsewhere nearby, and it has to be nearby because this plumber might already have a life (family, property, other ties) to the area and it’s not feasible for them to move, further limiting their options.

Living in a capitalist society means that nearly every job is tied to a larger economic and political system that has engaged in exploitative or harmful practices. If participation in a system equaled moral endorsement of all its actions, then virtually no one would be ethically pure, as capitalism itself has roots in colonialism, labor exploitation, and environmental degradation.

Does your participation on an online forum which relies on technology invented by DARPA, a US military research project, mean you support the US military?

Anyways politics section leaking lets go back to bashing America and blaming the average federal worker
