well done, it takes real grit and determination to resign in protest and leave your position of power available to people who want to wreck and loot the system
On the other hand: you don’t owe your job (or the dumbfucks that voted for this) a single goddamn thing. Go whistleblow or talk about it on 60 minutes, instead.
Whistleblowing and/or going to 60 minutes is about as useful as singing your complaints to yourself in the shower nowadays.
You don't owe your job anything when it's Johnny corpo who benefits, but in this case the sacrifice of comfort would be to protect all of us. There are those that didn't vote for this that are also getting screwed :/
You know what also would do dick? Staying at your job until they fire you or persecute you for “misappropriate funds” which you didn’t do.
I mean yes.
But also: he likely didn’t have a choice. It was resign with dignity or be fired. He refused to let them acces the system and was probably given an ultimatum.
They’ve been doing the same at every agency. Musks goons are at the top of OPM because they fired the management down the tree until they found someone who would allow them run untested and unsecured systems that directly harass all federal workers.
Many other agencies are having the same thing happening but are under strict gag orders and therefore the management massacres are slow to make it to news.
I still don’t fully understand who precisely the schedule f thing applies to, but I’m fairly certain that it primarily applies to mgmt/SES employees who make up the admin hierarchies of most agencies. And this is the result.
wouldnt it be pretty dignified to be fired over not wanting this dude to have access to all of our money and also look bad for the people firing him for not giving elon access?
Second reply: here’s an example that feels a bit more satisfying. https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-usaid-purge
That admin refused in writing and continued to refuse, so they put him in admin leave.
Yes it would probably. I mean he is a top treasury guy, so I don’t want to try and carry his water too much. But career civil servants are very used to a culture where you are encouraged constantly to demonstrate neutral outward views and to more or less follow direction from supervisors without pushback. It’s one of the things you sorta slam into if you transition in from private sector. Everything is “ask your direct supervisor” military-lite command chain. His thought process is probably, it would be against protocol to comply with this request, but the executive is basically asking for it, so I just resign to satisfy both requirements. Also he’s treasury and probably likes money? And resigning might get him better retirement pension, not sure. That’s not a point in his favor, just trying to paint the picture where career civil servants are not usually activists and have material concerns.
