The same people telling athletes and celebs, ‘I loved you until I found out your political views! Unfollow!’, are the same people telling their friends, ‘I can’t believe you would throw away our friendship just because I voted for Trump.’ Well… I liked you until I found out your political views. 😉

Because cruelty is the point, OMB/OPM are requiring large scale RIFs while also telling them to submit a waiver that allows them to halve the notification period to employees. RIFs require a minimum of 60 days written notification to employees, and they are encouraging reducing it to 30.

5 C.F.R. §351.801(b) says that when a RIF is caused by circumstances not reasonably foreseeable, requests may be granted for a notice period of less than 60 days. Can't wait to hear them explain these circumstances in court, considering they've been promising RIFs since the Fork email

#Emails2DOGE Compilation, combining two or more pieces of unclassified information, can result in an aggregate that is classified. Asking every employee who performs classified work to send an unclassified bullet list about would yield a complication with a much higher classification.

This is no longer about a policy difference, not a simple disagreement on the humane and responsible way to deal with collective national challenges, it isn’t a matter of agreeing to disagree on less-than-critical subjects where a stalemate is acceptable. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/yes-you-ca...
