When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.
Don’t quit. Government workers are entitled to more recourse than normal employees if they are going to be fired. Usually you can’t just fire them for no reason.
Quitting would also prevent severance pay.
Sue for defamation. He called your work “fake jobs”. Now his followers are threatening your life.
They’re working class people and the job market is shit. “Just quit” is a much bigger statement when you don’t have another job lined up and have bills to pay.
That’s a really bad take. A) Doing a job which is not specifically to carry out Trump’s will is not supporting him. B) Federal jobs are not inherently political, in fact very few are. C) even if they were in positions to effect political outcomes, they could use those positions to counter Trump’s agenda. They can’t do that if they quit. D) Nobody should be expected to abandon their livelihood for themselves and their families because they are tenuously, barely, kind of in a position that forwards Trump’s administrations policies. A USDA meat inspector quiting to spurnTrump will do nothing to Trump and yet ruin their career.
Civil service positions are apolitical. You are supposed to do them regardless of which party is in charge. That’s the whole point. Otherwise literally nothing would ever get done.
That’s exactly what they want and I guarantee they will make it difficult for most employees so they do quit. An employee that quits on his own is a lot less expensive to the company then a fired one.
A indefinite strike until musk is fired from his position in the goverment however…
Not sure if you haven’t noticed somehow… that’s exactly what the Republican party campaigns on and has been doing for the past 60+ years.
They literally campaign on the idea that Government does not work. They get into office, then don’t do the job well, proving that it doesn’t work well. All while reducing funding and cutting programs until they fail. People that actually know what they’re doing leaving just helps them.
Trump wants to kill branches, then show why they were made by their absence.
They don’t want any of those programs or services, because they don’t give a shit about them. The wealthy don’t care about public education, their kids go to private schools. An educated workforce is harder to control. Critical thinking is a threat to propaganda. They don’t care about you wiling situation as long as they keep their quality of life at the top, which just requires money, which they make through indirect means off the back of everyday workers in destitution. They’d rather you be in jail for a bullshit offense where slave labor is literally still legal. Don’t have to pay the inmates.
The programs they want still get plenty of funding and are in no danger. Things like the military and anything that can support the wealthy who don’t need it.

Personally I like to keep getting paychecks while I line up my next job opportunity

In office? What are you talking about?
Civil service jobs are not elected positions.

And thousands if not millions of people die, depending on how long it goes on for.
