  1. ...sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads...
  2. They are intended to improve the effectiveness of "government" by eviscerating the federal government.
  3. I'm just in full vichy france mode and I can't seem to shake it.
  4. If that happens, we can discuss. Fork in the Road Doesn't look like any promises made.
  5. Not really. He said he'd to honor Twitter's prior severance plan and then broke an oral promise to do so. That case that attempted to say that the promise created an ERISA plan. I'm not assuming that anything is offered until the employees are provided some written document that promises the specific pay. Is Trump a liar and full of shit? Agree with you. Am I going to automatically assume that any deal an employee takes is unenforceable? No. Because I haven't seen the deal.
  6. The benefit of the buyout is usually morale. This administration is not concerned about efficiency - they might be if they end up deciding that the particular agency should sitll exist with a skeleton crew.
  7. Not wanting to sidetrack too much, but it's kind of hard to limit the offer without it raising possible discrimination claims. You want the people who most want out to leave. You want the people who want to stay to stay. I was a fed for eight years. Some very fine people. But some people that are mailing it in, just like any large organization.
  8. Okay, and then maybe he'll kill all the jews, too. But that's not the debate I'm interested in. That's more of a leopards eating faces kind of thing. And I'll leave it to that thread in a couple of weeks.
  9. I guess I'm focused more on the actual idea of the buyout than the "validity" of any communication. If it purports to come from management, then any employee relying on it would likely have a case for detrimental reliance. I will agree that there is probably no limit to how much Trump can fuck someone over. I'm more focused on all the things that we clearly have evidence that he's fucked someone over.
  10. Do you have any evidence that either offered a severance package or an exit incentive and then didn't pay it? Certainly that would be easy to find for Elon. This is completely win-win for the Trump Administration.
  11. Just don't fuck with the unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tarts.
  12. I'm curious why many of you think that the retiring feds would get screwed out of their payment? Tiny price to pay to shrink the payroll -- most of the younger folks would find another job and be more likely to vote Republican next cycle. Congress would gladly fund it.
  13. Something tells me I'm the only guy on this board whose primary thought is "I wish Clinton had offered me this buyout when he got elected and they were talking about the government closing and I was ready to jump ship from the feds."
  14. Loss of trust is a perfectly acceptable non-discriminatory business reason to terminate someone. When it's based on a legitimate belief in conduct which reflects the same. We will see what the new standard is.
  15. Never doubt the bravery of Mike Pence and his wisdom in picking his battles! And if you don't like RFK, Jr., you're probably a fattie.
  16. Interesting. In the private sector, you have 45 days to consider and seven days to revoke after signature if over 40 IF you are also signing a release. (OWBPA) I week to decide but don't have to sign a release. That doesn't seem like a problem. Whether the program is funded properly or legal is a separate issue.
  17. So many companies routinely pare their employee rolls through RIFs whenever they need to meet their numbers. The gentler, better ones offer buyouts with various exit incentives. Of all the stuff going on, a massive exit incentive plan seems like one of the least problematic things this guy is doing. Devil's in the details, but you don't have to fight voluntary resignations in courts/federal arbitration, unlike RIFs and firings.
  18. Get a 3D printer and multiply the fish sticks.
  19. My three-year-old grandson would replace most of the joint chiefs of staff with transformers but he wouldn't be petulant about it.
  20. Me being a chalupa and my wife being a redhead, Loving doesn't apply, correct?
  21. I think there are enough people who are going to suffer who voted the right way to keep all of us busy.
  22. When the libtard tears dry up? You're asking me to try to figure out what these psychopaths want?
