Someone needs to keep a list of all these "whoopsie" re-hirings:
This is not an DOGE problem. It’s an Elon problem. See: Twitter firing the only people who knew how to keep it running and Tesla firing the profitable supercharger team
This is a Trump administration problem. They’re the ones encouraging Elon to run wild.
The whole Trump administration are operating like terrorists. They don't necessarily care about the results of any particular offense, the goal is to discourage anyone from standing against them.
such is fascism
This is an Elon problem. It's his administration.
Isn't Elon = DOGE?
It depends on who you ask. If you ask Elon or Trump, then Elon runs DOGE. If you ask the lawyer representing then in court, then Elon does not run DOGE. They've been doing this shit for years: say one thing while under oath then repeatedly and loudly scream the opposite thing the moment they aren't.
Sorry, I meant that it is not just a governmental issue. It’s Musk’s idiocy.
Say no! They probably just want to get what knowledge you have so they can fire you again after making you train a MAGA loyal replacement
It is an approved maxim in war, never to do what the enemy wishes you to do, for this reason alone, that he desires it.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
The goal is to demoralize and ultimately fire these people.
This is all just the first steps before the debt ceiling talks next month. People need to seriously learn to look forward a week or two or three.
Yeah, in this day and age that will almost likely not take place. I work in IT and sometimes it feels like the stuff now is stuff that needs done now, and all attempts to safeguard against drastic fixes later is a little extra time now. However, I've had many times I had to put out fires I noted would happen down the road.
They were put on Administrative leave for 4 weeks so the weren't fired yet. They would have to quite themselves at this point
This whiplash-chaos is the same shit they did in Covid. No consistent messaging, just back and forths.
Same shit musk did when he was tanking Xitter - remember Halli?
Fucking stupid cunts in the gov’t. Get fucked, traitors. We will survive their fucking bullshit. Worse for the wear, but America will live on.
What ever you say, chief. Is this the America you want? Even the frazzled, frayed, bullshit afterward will have higher prices, poorer healthcare, a dumber populace, and a complacent set of people who have lost hope.
We need a true revolution with meaningful reform. Sitting back and letting it ride won't be enough.
To be fair they didn't say sit back and letting it ride.
There is also a limited amount any person can do and for some they do have to ride it through.
Do let us work on meaningful reform!
'Revolution' means violence. Are you ready to back that word up?
Revolution does not mean violence. It means change. Even Thomas Jefferson said we need a revolution every 60 years.
However, to your question, yes. What else is worth fighting for?
This has happened so many times it must be on purpose. Something like those who come back are likely to be more desperate than those who decide to leave and therefore less likely to get in their way.
I think you're underestimating just how stupid and impulsive Elon is. Reminder that this is a man who decided to get rid of the color yellow at the factory, simply because he doesn't like it. Anyone who's ever worked at a factory or industrial site knows that yellow is kind of everywhere as a safety color. But Musk is, again, one of the dumbest people alive and is totally okay making a massive decision that will almost immediately cause harm, solely because he wants to.
He's not playing 4D chess, he's playing baby's first turn-based strategy game and even then he's not very good at it.
Whoops sorry salary expectations just doubled
That's being kind. I was thinking, hourly contractor, 40 hr minimum, salary at triple with potential for OT.
Government workers don't negotiate for salary, instead they have a set scale based on their job's pay grade, adjusted for the local cost of living. The lowest level jobs are GS1, followed by GS2, etc. Every GS1 working in the same area will receive the same salary
It’s the same in the US. But that’s before all this chaos from these idiots
YOU DUMB FUCKS.
