Govt agencies told to prepare for mass firings in case of govt shutdown

That's her opinion, but I wanted to know how she knows all these people were at swimming pools and the health food stores. Did she follow all these people around like a reporter?

I know because they would brag about it. It was not much of a secret. They actually LAUGHED about it!

You people have NO idea what a scam the govt workers have been running for years.

She's not wrong....During the covid the wife was in charge of keeping the time for her department and she had access to when an employee signed in/out.....Every 20 min you had to be doing some work or it would deem you signed out.

Of course when the wife turned their time in most of them were missing many hours, some whole days, and many were "supervisors".

LOL, it wasn't long before that responsibility was shifted elsewhere.

Suited the shit out of the wife.....One less thing.

Democrats are not blameless in this scenario.

It's all tribal warfare.

Yes, they literally are. They are the minority party.

A government shutdown would be great.

Less damages done to the republic

The year 2013 called...

Yeah, that was the year Ted Cruz almost forced the US to default on its debt.

lol no

 

[FoghornLeghorn]

The other thing is that these shutdowns are ADDITIONAL paid vacation for employees. They get all the back pay.

Maybe this time will be different.

Trump may willing to bend his knees during his first term but this time around, Jeffries and Schumer can go pound sand.

At the same time The Feds are trying to bring back workers fired from DOGE, they are threatening permanent cuts if there is a Federal government shutdown (even though MAGA controls the House, Senate, SCOTUS, and Executive). Ok. . .

White House lays groundwork for mass government firings if there's a shutdown​

The Office of Management and Budget says in a memo that agencies should prepare reduction-in-force plans to accompany furloughs if a spending bill isn't passed next week.

WASHINGTON — The White House is raising the stakes of a potential government shutdown by drafting a request for federal agencies to prepare “reduction in force” plans in case Congress doesn’t pass a spending bill before Oct. 1.

In a memo from the Office of Management and Budget, obtained by NBC News, the Trump administration indicated it's prepared to go beyond the traditional furloughing of some government employees during shutdowns and fire federal employees.


"With respect to those Federal programs whose funding would lapse and which are otherwise unfunded, such programs are no longer statutorily required to be carried out," the memo says. "RIF notices will be in addition to any furlough notices provided due to the lapse in appropriation."

The memo, first reported by Politico, points to job losses for certain federal employees if the government shuts down next week.

"Programs that did not benefit from an infusion of mandatory appropriations will bear the brunt of a shutdown, and we must continue our planning efforts in the event Democrats decide to shut down the government," the memo says.

The memo says agencies would be directed to consider reduction-in-force notices for all employees in programs, projects or activities whose discretionary funding will lapse on Oct. 1 that lack available alternative funding sources and are "not consistent with the President’s priorities."

I dont want to see fed workers given paid vacations during the shutdown

If they arent fired at the very least dont give them back pay

 

[Darkwind]

2025. Your team controls the House, Senate, SCOTUS, and President bro, AND YOU CAN"T EVEN KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN???

You do know that is wrong? The Senate is controlled by the GOP, BUT it is the Democrats who are shutting down the government through their filibuster.

Naw. Trump will cave.

I'm not sure what "furloughed" means?
I don't think they get paid, I think that means the can collect unemployment??

Essential workers work, but they don't get paid until the funding bill or CR is passed.

Naw. Trump will cave.

I don't think so. His first term he caved, but this time $trillions are at stake.

 

[drudge X]

Naw. Trump will cave.

If so, he will embolden them.

Fed workers have always been paid in full after the shutdown

Which is why democrats have no fear of a government shutdown

Fed workers are predominately democrat
