How long til we see the the positive benefits of this?

[CowboyTed]

Not true…
He is firing those in the military involved in DEI or is a transgender

Well, those might be the ones that asked the question, why are hiring Musk to do a job we were doing ourselves?

You have to give meat to the base... And always that integrity is something we have not asked for at work and would be most unwelcome.

 

[CowboyTed]

The grifters are the ones getting fired, and the NGO's who are losing their grants.

Dummy.

You mean the fully audited and can tell you where all the money has gone are grifters...

And you are taking the word of a tax cheat and convicted felon on that one...

Turn on the brain, think about it... Musk is one of the largest suppliers to US Government but does no money with USAID... Think about it...

 

[rightwinger]

Yes, Trump is a dick. So what?

So, he is permanently harming people who were loyal to their jobs
He has no clue what their actual performance is

Government is bloated to the tune of 36 trillion dollars. These people had jobs they should have never had in the first place.

It’s funny how often they fire people, then they figure out what they were doing, so they hurry up and unfire them.

They cancel contracts. Then they find out what the contracts were for. So they hurry up and uncancel them.

Pretty incompetent.

 

[rightwinger]

These people had jobs they should have never had in the first place.

Caring for veterans
Managing the distribution of Social Security
Ensuring our skies are safe
protecting our environment
providing goods and services to our military

"Trump is a prick" is an understatement. If a one is a probationary new hire, or had worked faithfully for years, but recently transition upward to a new position (becoming probationary in new position), they do not deserve a "bad performance" dismissal on their record.

I keep hearing how these people are the best workers doing amazing things for the government. They should have no problem finding a new job.

If a CEO ordered this, an EGM would be called and he would be fired immediately...

Rule 1: Know who is valuable before you let them out the door. Your staff is one of your most valuable assets.

It is crazy to off load experts in their fields, especially the local and regional knowledge and trust that people have...

We were discussing this in Ireland and we genuinely believe EU should have given the employees all 6 - 12 months extensions... Jumped into USAID role, now EU AID and then reevaluate what is in EU interest..
EU is more interested in vaccine programs in Africa than in Latin America... But they would evaluate before changing any direction...

They will..

But they were in very difficult roles, sometimes overseas in third world countries for several months at a time, for years...

It is a special person that can dedicate themselves to doing that... You have to be made of different stuff, know people who have been in Africa for over 30 years, just amazed by who they are and how selfless they are as people...

 

[Blaster]

How many of these people who are soon to be jobless voted for the convicted felon?

What convicted felon?

While that is true to a small degree hyped up in the fake news media, it doesn’t change the fact that half of the federal government should be let go.

We can still do all that with half the people.

 

[ReinyDays]

...How they got paid is also a mystery.

There was a screw-up in payroll ... they were fired but pay checks keep getting printed ... we've "fixed that problem" ...

 

[BrokeLoser]

Based on the available information, there is no official count of the total number of federal employees fired due to the recent executive orders. However, estimates suggest the number could be substantial:

1. Over 75,000 federal employees had accepted a "deferred resignation" offer as of February 12, 2025.
2. The Internal Revenue Service alone was planning to fire 6,700 probationary employees.
3. The Environmental Protection Agency fired 388 employees.
4. The Department of Health and Human Services was in the process of firing about 5,200 health workers.
5. At the Federal Aviation Administration, between 200 and 300 employees have been fired.
6. USA TODAY reported that the total number of layoffs could surpass 100,000 workers.
   These firings have affected multiple agencies, including the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, and Transportation, among others. The focus has been primarily on probationary employees, who generally have less job security. While an exact figure is not available, it's clear that the scale of these layoffs is significant and widespread across the federal government.

Trump is a prick

Instead of releasing probationary employees for budgetary reasons, he sends them letters telling them they are being fired for poor performance.

Even if they have outstanding performance reviews or a recent promotion or performance award

How many of these people who are soon to be jobless voted for the convicted felon?

yea he is just making unemployment a lot worse....i wonder if these 2 are going to create jobs somewhere to get these people working again...

Well we would still be paying them the rest of the year....and there is evidence that all the DOGE numbers on everything have been hyped up.

When is the White House going to trim its fat? I have noticed the fat bitch that lives there needs his butler, chef, limo driver, butt wiper..

"Trump is a prick" is an understatement. If a one is a probationary new hire, or had worked faithfully for years, but recently transition upward to a new position (becoming probationary in new position), they do not deserve a "bad performance" dismissal on their record.

I have a story as well..

USAID worker who gives out vaccines who is part of a Global immunisation program that saved 154m lives

Global immunization efforts have saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years

She got fired...

My story beats yours..

Remember when the purple hair nose ringed neck tattoo brigade was begging father government to fire gov employees for declining to take experimental medicine?

So you want Goveernment employee per captia

States With Most Government Employees: Totals and Per Capita Rates

Data shows concentrations of public employees for each state.

www.governing.com

A lot of red states are going to get some serious cuts...

 

[CowboyTed]

We can still do all that with half the people.

But that is not what Musk done...

He cut programs instead, ones that keep US people safe...

Latin America vaccine program...
Ebola Program (it was not restored unlike what Musk said)
....

Musk is cutting for a tax cut that will go predominantly to people making over $500k a year...

You loons didn't care when biden fired thousands of federal workers because they didn't get the vaccine.

Then volunteer and go as a missionary or something. Or get this, stop roaming the planet virtue signaling on our dime and support yourself. There are ways other than government jobs to do these things. They just aren’t as lucrative.
