As always, this is just cover to force people to quit and not give severance. It's a layoff without having to call it a layoff.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Its not going to work out the way they think it will, because government jobs have a good pension that you dont want to walk away from. This is just going to disrupt peoples lives needlessly and destroy morale.
It's not even a cover, it's the stated intention. They want a reduction in staff.
25%, literally what they say they want.
Got to appease those shareholders and make the stock go up.
Wait...
I know I'd like to start seeing some dividends (UBI).
This is an entire section of Project 2025... Encourage/force career employees in the government to quit so you can replace them with unqualified Sycophants.
he said. “You don’t even have to talk about you’re in a mass firing, a mass exodus. Just tell them they have to come back five days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.”
Even with a 1 hour lunch, 8am to 6pm would be a 9 hour work day. So, bro is expecting folks to just accept a 45 hour workweek along with a complete return to office. Pretty sure he's going to get his 25% reduction. It's just going to be all of the most talented people saying "fuck that".
Which is the project 2025 goal...
no better way to eliminate bureaucracy than by making new rules that everybody has to follow
Let's do congress first.
If only real estate had some form of value other than using it ourselves.... Hmm
If only we knew of a candidate, perhaps even a president that knew about real estate renting and sales.
Nope let's make people quit and replace them instead!
If you're hinting that Trump knows his way around real estate: stop. Trump bankrupted casinos he is so bad with real estate. 6 bankruptcies means he was nothing but a failure.
Haha I know
Are there that many remote government jobs? I checked at the beginning of the Biden administration and all of them required me to be in the office and in *shudder* business casual
Most are hybrid, my fiance has one. Administrative type stuff that doesnt require you be in the office (like most office jobs), but requires travel. We're worried about this honestly.
A government building I visit regularly has a help wanted that claims the government is a leader in innovative solutions like telework meanwhile, the workers in that building have to work weekends in the office too!
And, of course, telework is actually is strictly forbidden at my location.
What a weirdo!!
Oh rama-lama-ding-dong at it again I see.
