AFGE is the largest federal employee union.

Good headline? Has Musk Violated (M)any Laws? An update in the attached article to back up what my friend said in my previous post about Elon's Musk's likely honey trap bait-and-switch that 20,000 employees have taken:

It's not just the payment system that Musk and his band of hackers have commandeered. They also have taken over the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and sent out a mass mailing offering an early buyout to federal employees who want to quit. *The only problem here (OK, the most obvious problem here) is that Congress has not authorized or funded any such buyout. *

Let's throw gasoline and hypocrisy on the flames:

Also, a lawsuit alleges that Musk ordered a private e-mail server to be set up in the office controlled by his band of merry young men. Private e-mail server? Private e-mail server? We read about that once somewhere a few years ago. We forget where, though. But we vaguely recall some people saying it was a security problem.

To put a point on it, the executive branch enforces the laws that Congress makes and the Courts interpret. If the police are corrupt (and I don't use it in the sense we used it before Jan 20th), is there any law?

A federal judge in Massachusetts suspended a deadline for #FederalWorkers to apply for a delayed resignation offer [#buyout] until at least Monday afternoon, when a hearing will be held. The offer, which had been set to expire at 11:59 PM on Thurs, is part of #Trump’s campaign to drastically slash the federal government. The admin said tens of thousands of workers had already accepted [not smart. They’ll never get that money].

"The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce Tuesday, citing an aim to bring the agency in line with... Donald Trump's priorities...

The report of #buyout offers is in line with a massive makeover of the US #government embarked on by the #Trump administration, which has fired & sidelined hundreds of civil servants in first steps toward downsizing the bureaucracy & installing **loyalists**"

The #CIA does not disclose its budget or the number of people it employs.
…The report of #buyout offers is in line w/a massive makeover of the US govt embarked on by the #Trump admin, which has fired & sidelined hundreds of #CivilServants in first steps toward downsizing *bureaucracy* & installing #loyalists.

The WH last wk offered 2M civilian full-time #FederalWorkers an opportunity to stop working this wk & [supposedly] receive pay & benefits through Sept 30 as Trump seeks to slash the govt.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) offered payouts to its entire workforce. The CIA has become the first intelligence agency to offer employees an opportunity to leave their positions in exchange for approximately eight months of pay and benefits.
...
The Trump administration stated that the move is intended to help those who oppose President Donald Trump’s agenda.

#CIA sends ‘#buyout’ offers to entire workforce

The Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday became the first major national security agency to offer so-called buyouts to its entire workforce, a CIA spokesperson & two other sources familiar with the offer said, part of #Trump’s broad effort to shrink the federal government & shape it to his agenda.

The offer tells federal employees that they can quit their jobs & receive roughly 8 months of pay & benefits.

#Trump admin adds #FinePrint to #FederalEmployees #buyout offer

It's been a week since nearly all 2.3M civilian employees of the #FederalGovernment were presented w/an offer: Agree to resign from your job by Feb 6 & keep your pay & benefits through the end of Sept.

Now, w/the deadline nearing, #FederalAgencies have sent out new terms & conditions in the form of a sample #contract agreement that employees are told they can use to "memorialize" the deal.
