'It's sort of scary': Officials flag surprising revelations from deep State Department cuts

[leftwinger]

It's hard work to do nothing all day at work at a desk even with unlimited internet. A few days a month maybe but 5 days a week?//

Are you still talking about what happened decades ago? Or during COVID?

Or do you know about the situation in 2020's?

It’s gotten much worse since then.

FEMA was only able to answer 3 calls in 10 after the July 4th flash flood in Texas.

That’s bad. Then they and the Administration should be held accountable. I’m glad they aren’t prioritizing rescues and service based on political party affiliation.

So you only ass-u-me what the current situation is decades later.

And you ass-u-me that every worker is necessary and working hard.

Yeah I’m going with Lisa’s “Assumption”

Commercial airplanes spend the vast majority of their flight time on autopilot. While pilots always hand-fly takeoffs and landings, and may manually fly during certain phases of the flight, the autopilot is engaged for roughly 90% of a typical flight. This includes much of the climb, cruise, and descent phases.

The GOVT rumored to pay many names that never show up anymore or do t exist? Hope DOGE can stop that.

Has anybody asked, what are the supervisors doing, if they're letting the employees do nothing?

My GS-14 NOAA neighbor went into work one day a week before Covid, zero days during Covid and zero days post-Covid. He was made to go back into work after trump was elected so he took $25k bonus to retire a month later.

I know someone who did something similar, also a GS-14. She was planning to retire in about a year, but she retired ahead of time and took the six months “bonus” money, and is now working from home 3 days a week doing her old job. So, she gets almost $90,000 bonus, then her usual pension money, and on top of that, 24 hours a week billed out at triple digits.

The government workers are laughing all the way to the bank, while they want the ignorant public to think they are on food stamps.

Supervisors do nothing too.

You mean like they did under Biden - skipping houses that had aTrump signs?

Exactly

That's where I think the problem is.

Monkey see. Monkey do.

 

[postman]

Exactly

FEMA isn't skipping houses with Trump signs any more.
In fact, FEMA just decided to skip EVERY house now.

If you need help, you have to go to where they set up shop.

Yes….its pervasive throughout the government. Glad I could open your eyes.

They are not skipping houses nor did they intentionally decide to skip any houses for any reason. You may have a point if the Trump cuts ran too deep to keep up with demand in a crisis. That is a point I can accept and need for correction and accountability. What I can’t accept is any Administration’ agency services refusing to help citizens in crisis due to real or perceived political preferences.

At least their pointless gov jobs will be eliminated.
