Well that was short. Looks like the only thing being deleted is the orders they are giving out.

Also saw that very few Federal Employees are signing up for the “buyout” with 8 months severance pay.
Even if you fired a DEI employee, they would still have the opportunity to fill an Equal Opportunity Office (EEO) slot. {{ LOL }}

From what I hear they do not think They will get the buyout because the person offering it is known to stiff the help.

It’s not a buyout, that is why. It’s not severance pay. You get to continue to work from home until September and then you are out of work. Otherwise you return to the office. The media is flat lying to us about this.

What is the problem with returning to the office? Ok so the new boss wants people back in the office. I have seen no figures or analyses on efficiency and cost/benefit of office vs work from home. Go back to the office.
They have been back in the office. It is all a ruse, a grift, a lie. Now comes the part where the workers start getting mad and gumming up the works. These guys have no idea what they have done. It would be so easy to get everyone together for a work slow down and stop everything in it’s tracks.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader who has been a vocal critic of Trump’s decision to freeze federal funds, celebrated the news that the administration had rescinded its directive. He said Trump should next revoke the nomination of Russell Vought, his pick to lead the Office of Budget and Management, the agency that issued the original order.
“I don’t think this would have happened, except for the outcry throughout America,” Schumer told reporters in the Capitol. “We don’t believe they’ll stop,” he added. “We’re going to keep fighting.”

I would submit that, that would be interpreted as insubordination and the mass firings for cause will begin immediately. Not too different from Reagan.
Unions have been using slow downs for as long as you have been alive. You do not strike like the air traffic controllers did but slow down your work. Not much they can do.

I know all about it. It’s often called “Work to rule.” They think it’s legal. That will mean nothing. The Prez or his handlers will say "We know what you’re doing and we won’t tolerate it. We consider it insubordination (or whatever name they want to call it). Get back to normal work tempo or get fired."
They can bring it to court or whatever they want. That will take time. In the mean time people will be barred from the buildings and stop getting paychecks. How sympathetic will the courts be to the bleatings of a labor union or their workers? We already know.
They can call it whatever they want but to stop it is never very easy. I have seen it work in the workplace and the Federal Government is highly unionized.
Yep it will take about 2 years for anyone who is fired to get their job back. In the mean time they can be sitting on the beach in the Caribbean . Every union has a rainy day fund and the people that are fired can get unemployment. It is not like being in management where they are not under a contract with rights that have been negotiated. Like I said, they are not striking and to fire them is very hard.

All I can say is re-read my previous posts. I covered all your rebuttals. You sound like a person trying to keep a stiff upper lip. As far as the Union fun fund, Ok If they want to spend that, that’s what it’s there for, I guess. Won’t stop the heads from rolling and the firings from happening. Those jobs will either not be filled or they’ll be filled with compliant types.
I have been through all this before and can tell you. That isn’t the way it works. I can tell you must have been in management and never had to go through this type of campaign, but when the rubber hits the road and people start these campaigns it is management that usually gives in. Especially when they have a specific time line like the first 100 days.

…because it’s the Proles who do the actual work, while the honchos are brownnosing. When I was at WPI, the department manger’s job was eliminated. The other staffer was RIFed. I was a department of one, from mid 2001, until the place went toes up in February 2006. One Prole, holding the program together, 52 weeks per year.

Also they would fire one or two trying to get the others in line but they couldn’t fire them all. Then when the others were hired back after two years the company had to pay them 2 years back pay along with an average of 5 years of OT for those two years. It really made them mad that I didn’t go out and find another job because they had to pay me a lot because I liked working overtime.

“That isn’t the way it works. I can tell you must have been in management”
lol, I thought the same thing. Was in a unionized workforce for 30+ years. Heard lots of veiled threats from lower management, They learned that they needed us a whole lot more than we needed them. Matter of fact, we didn’t need them hardly at all. They learned.
