Two Term Celebrity Politician - JD Vance Missing Persons Coldcase

[kuronosan]

They're offering the buyout because they know they can't just fire the majority of employees outright. But calling it a "buyout" is a joke—it’s nothing like the generous packages typically offered to encourage early retirement. All it really does is let employees telework until the end of the term before being let go, with no extra pay or incentives. Why the media is framing this as a "buyout" is beyond me—it's just a temporary paycheck for a few months of remote work.

Really? It's beyond you? Ask Twitter employees how that worked out for them.

He's not going to pay them. Just gonna take the resignation, and stiff them on the money.

It's a lot harder for him to do that as President. There is literally a court specially designed to ensure government payments.

[Mertron]

if r/fednews is to be believed, it seems they aren’t going to get many people to actually take the buyout (because they think it’s bullshit and will have the rug pulled out from under them for various reasons), and they’re going to have to drag them out

Take the money and run, or get dropped and fight it in court for a decade, only to lose because the courts will be packed.

Not the brightest people. Take that bag. Join the private sector. Wipe your ass on the country since you'll be wearing the boots now. The American dream.

[kuronosan]

Take the bag? Yea, break the government. Don't challenge it.

[Byrthnoth]

There is not really a bag to take. They are promising to resign in September in exchange for:
1. They don't have to return to office
2. They can't be fired before September (although their duties may change)

If I was going to retire anyway in the next 6 months, I would be tempted. I would want someone to write in blood that it doesn't affect pensions, but realistically Trump is probably going to fuck up their pension system anyway.

I believe the goal is a 10% reduction, and the way this is structured could be beneficial for many. For those close to retirement and set to leave before September 30, it’s essentially a free vacation. For those already planning to leave or in the process of doing so, it’s free money—they can take the deal, start a new job elsewhere, and effectively double-dip.

Meanwhile, anyone who isn’t already considering leaving by the given date will likely just ignore the offer. Even if they only end up reducing numbers by people who were already planning to leave, they’ll still spin it as a success and take a victory lap—despite having spent money on something that wasn’t actually necessary.

No, and this isn’t the private sector. Federal workers—unionized or not—have significant protections in place. And there’s no way most will conceding to fascists.

[Sirious]

Had. Significant protections in place. Past tense.

[Krandor]

Those protections still exist, in spite of whatever fantasy you're conjuring in your head

This administration would NEVER do anything that violates the law or has no precedence.

Its not up to the administration its up to the courts which are not as all in on MAGA corruption as they seemed when Barret was sworn in despite multiple people in these threads completely misunderstanding the immunity ruling.

[Tyrath]

The immunity ruling is still a farce. Don't try to act like that wasn't an insane ruling.

[Xno Kappa]

Absolutely nobody in my federal office trusts the offer. At least not openly.

[Obsidian]

Acting like the Immunity ruling is the only one worth talking about is also asinine. Chevron Doctrine, Roe v Wade, ect.

Chevron ruling practically didn't change anything.

[Anoat]

Trump admin has rescinded the EO to freeze federal spending, so that didn't take long

[Meresgi]

Sure, but who knows because it's not like "Well this protection exists to help us" has really worked in the past on any of this shit. Same as the ol "How's he gonna wriggle out of this one". They are constantly pointing to and using giant gaps in the system and the Democrats sit there with shocked pickachu faces and then a week afterwards make a tweet like "omg can you believe this?!".

Fucking Schumer making a post like "He's defunding the police!"...mother fucker, anywho who cares about police funding is voting Trump and Red 100% of the time all the time, you ain't gonna "win" them.

[Mrbeansman]

None of those involve dismantling democracy or protecting the orange cheeto and would of been ruled against by anyone GOP plant.

There is a court specifically designed to apply punishments for convictions, and Trump got to skip right through that because he won an election.

Rules are rules until norms are broken. Laws don't matter if there is no enforcement. Not saying that'll happen here, but you also wouldn't be surprised if it did happen which is the problem.

The New York DA got him on Mickey Mouse charges stop acting like anything of significance was going to come of them.
