re: Elon Musk comments about layoffs at the federal level, interesting aspect

Yes but the most generous severance for non c-suite’s is 2 weeks for every year. So let’s say you have 22 years at a company you get 44 weeks of severance. Not 2 years, that is a waste of our tax dollars.

I agree the typical is two weeks for every year served. I'm not defending two years salary as a severance in lieu of the standard practice. I'm also not getting my panties in a wad over the announcement of two years salary because I don't know the details.

Since the quote about severance also came after mentioning the expense of government pensions, I'm under the assumption that they are buying out their pension as part of the severance. In this case the NPV calculation on a pension is probably equal to a couple of years salary and would be justified.

The thing they won’t have going for them is age and spending an entire career in something that is useless.

We had millions quit work because their companies ended work from home.

Many of these people will use their entire severance to sit on their arse, then find themselves unemployable two years later

Exactly.

Make these fricks miserable.

As you stated Energy in Tulsa, USDA in Topeka.

Next step I'd want is to decentralize the entire govt. Remove all unnecessary agencies and those that survive be centered close to the various areas of their responsibility, not Washington DC.

Actually this would help cull 50% of the employees. Let’s say they move the Dept of Labor to Columbus Ohio. You can say the job requires them to move and they decide to seek other employment.

Just move them around strategically

There is no reason the SEC should not be centered in NYC

DOE in Dallas or Houston

BLM to like Boise

FBI, CIA, and other critical functions stay around DC

Well technically he’s not a trillionaire yet. But those launches could have come sooner & and cheaper giving shareholders a better return

Why does success bother you libtards so much?

they don't want to earn anything. they want a simple 12 step, self help guide through life and people that strive, innovate and hustle should support their sorry asses by giving more than their fair share.

the last time i didn't think i was getting paid enough, i switched jobs. novel concept. they may need to start over, or get the right degree, etc, but they don't think that's "equitable".

it doesn't mean that there aren't crooks, people that were born with a silver spoon, born into families with connections, pork jobs through association and general underhanded dealing. all that serves as an excuse for them to cry because they don't want to work hard, they want it given to them because it was given to someone else.

I would not be opposed to Trump building that beautiful new FBI building in Maryland

I think Langley would cost too much to move

Two years severance will render many people incapable of employment.

These people are already incapable of employment outside the public sector. Start cutting the checks and let’s move on.
