re: ‘Read this email immediately’: CDC calls 180 employees back to work 2 weeks after firing

It would be comical if it weren't peoples jobs and lives being messed with at the whim of a 21 year old hacker making the max a govt employee can.....


This is Just one of several examples of the shitshow disorganized and poorly run doge actually is....

I've never seen anyone get laid off on Friday and re-hired on Monday. It has happened every week with DOGE.

No it hasn’t. God you commies lie with such ease

Doing so essentially "with cause", which is how many of the emails were worded, so that it potentially impacts unemployment benefits is even pettier.

First of all, just saying that in an email has absolutely no bearing on whether someone is awarded unemployment or not.

Actually, IME, there's actually almost nothing an employee can do that will lose them unemployment benefits if their local unemployment office wants to give it to them. I've had employees who resigned (not knowing that if you resign you can't collect unemployment) and I have sent the unemployment agency the signed letter of resignation. Didn't matter. They got unemployment.

I had one employee one time who was hired and then it was discovered that she lacked basic math skills (and I mean BASIC math skills...addition and subtraction) and couldn't perform the job she was hired for. She was only at the job for 3-4 days. AND she was offered to be moved to a position in which her lack of math skills wouldn't matter. She refused.

We ended up escalating that one up the chain and having a formal hearing with unemployment over that one. According to the written rules of unemployment, she wasn't even an employee long enough to be eligible for unemployment (like, not even close). According to their own rules. Didn't matter. She still got it.

I had another employee who quit because she got mad at her direct supervisor (actually I think she was on some new medication that caused her to go off the rails, but that's another story) and walked out, quit. She ended up telling unemployment that she was fired because she had car issues and couldn't make it to work, which was 100% a lie.

I can't remember how she ended up getting us involved in all of that, but somehow we were supposed to verify her termination to unemployment, and I told her that we couldn't lie to them. That would be fraud. We would be defrauding taxpayers at that point, which we couldn't do.

She got us on the phone with the unemployment office and after we explained out position the guy literally told us that he didn't care whether it was true or not. She got unemployment.

And every time one of these people were awarded unemployment, my unemployment insurance went up (for those of you with no knowledge of how this game works). So in addition to not being able to lie to the government agency (the ex-employee can lie, but imagine what would have happened if I would have lied), my motivation was to keep my unemployment insurance from being raised, not to "be petty."

The other moral of the story is that this is exactly the type of government fraud that is willfully engaged in every day in the US.

I know not to breathlessly read the news about the Trump administration and run here and post it uncritically.

Lemme know when you admit that probationary periods are typically waived for Federal employees who are transferring or promoted to a similar job.

Yeah, I think he’s 19.

And the firing is merely "at his whim"? No oversight? No management to report findings to?

Also, where are those Biden threads I've been asking you about?

I criticize everything he does when it comes to Israel because he completely undersold us on it. This blind allegiance is sickening and a slap to the face to Christians everywhere. Israel belongs to Palestinian Christians! Not Jews.

And proudly call him out because unlike y'all, I am fully aware that politicians aren't my friends. Accountability and scrutiny should be celebrated, not shamed. I refuse to be a monolith that accepts everything just because Trump says so.

Hell, half of you frickers would probably frick a dude if Trump said that dating trans women was normal. Learn to think for yourself for once and question everything.
