re: Musk just randomly firing Park Rangers? WTF?

WASHINGTON – Thousands of recently hired federal workers were fired Thursday and Friday as President Donald Trump and top White House official Elon Musk escalated efforts to purge the federal workforce.

The cuts targeted probationary workers across all departments. Federal employees in probationary status have typically been hired in the past year. Probationary workers are easier to fire because they lack the bargaining rights that career employees have to appeal their terminations.

Terminations were government-wide: from the Department of Education and Small Business Administration to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Forest Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the agency that oversees the nation's fleet of nuclear weapons.

Veterans Affairs said Thursday it dismissed more than 1,000 of about 43,000 probationary employees across the department, producing an estimated savings of about $98 million.

"This was a tough decision, but ultimately it’s the right call to better support the Veterans, families, caregivers, and survivors the department exists to serve,” Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins said in a statement.

I found this, but if its on Reddit its probably exaggerated. frick that place. I posted in the baton rouge thread once and there was something about education and I said "and they wonder why people voted for St George". I was kicked out of the baton rouge group for that one and only comment.

I'll read it at times to see what people are saying about something of interest, but that place is a bunch of angry women and f-gs. When I use that word, its not about whether someone is gay or not, its more about how they act and that's what they act like on there.

Meanwhile, useless employees still have a job simply because they are harder to fire due to years of service.

In other words, the USPS

The fricking around is over. The finding out is just beginning and a lot of people will be shocked to find themselves in the crosshairs.

I went to HS with a guy who owns a chain of nursing homes. He may post here for all I know. He's a big Trump supporter but 80% of his revenue comes from medicaid and his business model just imploded. He probably thought the finding out part didn't apply to ballers like him, but from where Musk sits there's no difference between that guy and the destitute residents of his nursing homes.

Every department in the federal gov’t is being cut.

I don't think the bureau of prisons is being cut.

We don’t know if it’s real just based on a Reddit discussion.

I’ve been to over 100 different National Parks in the last 10 years.

Very few of the rangers I came in contact with were fireballs over that time.
