In a sign of how chaotic the firings have been, some who received layoff notices had already accepted the administration’s deferred resignation offer, under which they were supposed to be paid until Sept. 30 if they agreed to quit,.
The layoffs are unlikely to yield significant deficit savings.
[Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.]
This guy probably voted for Traitorapist Trump. Leopards ate my face!
On the one hand, I can’t blame anyone for not wanting to work under him. No sane person would. No sane person would have believed in or accepted the buyout BS either. He never had the power to do that, and never missed a chance to stiff someone. I sincerely hope they are doing this just to burn his image, as misguided as that is. (His supporters and the majority of the wealthy would cheer him on for screwing over workers and government) Not that they actually ever believed in the buyout fairytale.
If you were enough of a silly goose to take the “buyout,” I have no sympathy for your being fired in advance. They were never going to pay up — since when has Trump ever famously paid his lawyers, or even a venue? Why would this be any different?
yeah not surprising. Expect none of the buyouts will ever payout.
