If you are a federal worker that received the threatening resignation email from OPM, do not resign. You have rights and you are not an “at will” employee. Congress has the power of the purse and allocated funding for your job, not the president. Join the federal union, NTEU. You can sign up on their website.

Yeah we the majority of the rest of the taxpayers voted for the guy who ran on firing all of you guys. Glad he's getting to work so quickly.

Exactly, this is what the people want. Stop whining and find another job. This happens in the private sector all the time.

This happens every day in the private sector! Would you employ unnecessary workers at your business? Everyone has been unemployed at least once in their lives! Go make yourself invaluable! Don’t blame others for not contributing enough value to justify your salary!

Associate, et al, Members of Congress do not have job security. They are subjected to a performance review every 2 years (House) and 6 years (Senate), at which time the voting public can fire them.

Your ignorance of the Constitution explains why you have fallen for the idiotic "literally Hitler" propaganda narrative. Every word you type validates DOGE's mission.

I see a lot of post here about what the president can and cannot do. Congress allocates funds to be used for many reasons, a lot for salaries. If the executive wants to discontinue a agency or function in the exective branch, he can. Now congress can come in behind and reinstate the agency for a shot period of time, not permanent. If the president does not use the funds, because hte president has discontinued the agency, congress can reclaim the monies. Many of the people that are being let go, are on paid adminstrative leave ( a paid vacation ). At the end of this PY, the positions will not bve reinstated or budgeted for. The budget code will not be presented for congress to allocate funds for. All levels of governments do this.

Yes and there’s no guarantee of being paid after being put on administrative leave, especially if there is a shutdown. It is better for a Fed to stick around and get their salary, get their vacation paid out, as well as be eligible for unemployment benefits if they get fired. People are acting like this is a “good deal” - no, they wouldn’t be offering it if you weren’t worth three times more as a Fed.

And who controls Congress?

Maybe they should wait until the RTO mandate where over 70% of the workforce said they’d quit before going back to work that should fix a lot of it.
