You mean Trump lied? Surely not? /s
crossingdynasty
Are you telling me the guy that’s NOTORIOUS for stiffing his employees stiffed his employees?
Who could have fucking seen THAT coming?
1403creed
I believe it, but please provide a source. I want to spread this so badly, but need to see an official announcement.

LittleChickadee
That is exactly what i assumed would happen, sadly

Everyone. Literally everyone saw this coming. And those who didn't see it, were told it was coming.
SquashDemon
As a Fed I saw this for the scam it was and notified everyone I could not to take it
Whatisthesecretofsoylentgreen

Yeah I was kind of confused how folks figured Trump was going to pay his bills suddenly.

How stupid do you have to be to believe a word that pig and his Nazi piglets say at this point? Duh.

Friend of mine is an inmate at a federal facility. He told me today that earlier this week they were notified they'd likely be put into indefinite lockdown due to staffing cuts and not having enough COs to ensure order. Seems nobody is immune from mango mussolini and elongated muskrat's guillotine.

But the leopards won't eat my face

There's no allocated money for these buyouts. I don't know why a single person thinks there is.

I feel that the way things are going, angering a very well armed population may backfire on the fascists.

The only thing this administration knows how to do is not pay its debts.
Kazpur81S
Called it!

Sauce?
GiantFlyingLabia
The account that posted this is run by federal employees.
TI99Kitty
Gee... Who could POSSIBLY have seen this coming, from the man who is famous for never paying people what they're owed? SUCH a COMPLETE shock!
thepunchline710
They've been firing people who didn't sign it too. So it doesnt really matter to them.
blahblahbushes
It's almost as though they..... lied...?
TsunamiWombat
Do we have a sauce yet besides this twitter profile? So far they've been right
GiantFlyingLabia
This is an account run by federal employees.

This is really sinister from the trumpies. Resign in good faith and get stabbed in the back
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
Agreed, but this is always how this was going to end.
Greymalum
They fell for it. It was all a ploy which is why many of us said to resist!
Jace99
It was so obvious a coma patient would have seen it coming.
PurpleSquare713
Even Helen Keller could see that shit coming.
Chalybos
There is no such thing as “good faith” when dealing with Trump. Ever.
Sanzanna
Sinister? Seems pretty on par honestly.
ipeefreely2
Maybe sinister is the wrong word. Duplicitous yes, maybe treacherous, malicious
LifeIsADanceOfMinds
I smell incoming lawsuits.
DocTanner
Accepting the buyout waived all right to sue.
The scam was pretty obvious.
dynamojoe
Which I, as an American Taxpayer, will have to pay for.
Acmer77
Well, if it costs $170 million, $1 is from you.
FermentTheRich3000
Last I heard, 75k took the buyout. That's 75k per citizen. Likely more, as the wealthy won't have to pitch in.
Tarelgeth
Can't sue the federal government for monetary damages. It can't spend money in ways not written into law by the budget. Unless Congress funds your lawsuit, you get nothing.
SergeyPrkl
Well, believe or not, some people just wants to keep their jobs, they aren't after compensation money.
Ludus
This is what he's done with contractors for decades, Trump banks on them becoming lawsuits because then it's just one person who needs side
Ludus
with him and he gets off without having to pay.
Legomaniac91
He even stiffed the lawyers that were defending him when he was being sued for not paying his contractors
eion85
I can't understand why anyone was stupid enough to think Trump and Musk wouldn't do this.
randomdudefromtheinternet
Weeeell, you guys elected that shithead TWICE
eion85
Nope. Both times a majority of people voted for someone else.
randomdudefromtheinternet
That does unfortunately not change the fact that the US with their System of voting did vote this guy (unless fraud is proven)
eion85
It does change the presence of a mandate and the base percentage of people who may support this fascism.
randomdudefromtheinternet
But does it stop the guy from doing what fuckall he wants now? Doesn't look like it
SinStar87
same reason folks say a deer's not a horse.
Leithoa
I didn't realize trump & musk walked on an even number of toes. TIL.
eion85
Very timely idiom
SinStar87
:) Chinese idioms spark interest where more mundane statements like failed a loyalty test don't.
TheChunguskaEvent
yo
Zahnradfee
I remember you posting that.
channelranger
Whaaaaaaaaat? You mean the guy who's infamous for not paying people lied about this obviously sketchy buy-out? Say it ain't so.

I’m not a lawyer, but I got some good leopards eating the faces laughs when I saw an article about a fellow social worker who got screwed. Lmfao.
ElectricGears
paragraph 12 of their email "contract":
Employee forever waives, and will not pursue through any judicial, administrative, or other process, any action against [Agency] that is based on, arising from, or related to Employee’s employment at [Agency] or the deferred resignation offer, including any and all claims that were or could have been brought concerning said matters. Employee unconditionally releases [Agency] and its present and former employees, officers, agents, representatives, and →
ElectricGears
all persons acting by, through, or in concert with any of those individuals, either in their official or individual capacities, from any and all liability based on, arising from, or relating to the matters that Employee may have against them, including any and all claims that were or could have been brought. Consistent with applicable law, Employee similarly waives any claim that could be brought on Employee’s behalf by another entity, including Employee’s labor union.
IgnisInvictus
I read that back when you posted it. The entire thing reeked to high heaven, there's no money to just pay folks not to come to work for 8 months. I was pretty sure they'd just terminate anyone who believed this for not meeting performance metrics about a month in.
When the full deal came out... yep. You called it. Section 9.
crossingdynasty
The sole purpose of the document was to get them to sign away any potential severance benefits. Anything else they happen to get is a mercy.
WhiteyHead
What is section 9?
IronMagnus
The reading comprehension section.
IgnisInvictus
The full contract was posted here a few weeks ago. @TheChunguskaEvent is a lawyer who pointed out that Section 9 is the "gotcha".
As in, anyone who signed the "Voluntary Retirement" contract can be terminated at any time without any recourse.
Ludus
Literally every contract he's ever been a part of for half a century. He was famous for these lawsuits before anything else, and still they
Ludus
fall for it.
TheChunguskaEvent
There is a *very tiny* group - feds who were planning to quit in the very near term anyway - for whom it could, theoretically, have made sense to accept the offer on the slim possibility it was not a bullshit bait-and-switch. Because the downside cost would be essentially zero, with some potential upside. Everybody else? Absolutely not.
Ludus
Oh no doubt
