Perspective from a recently fired probationary federal employee...

[willdup]

The concerns about "not being trusted regarding the buyout" had more to do with the appropriations process than Elon or Trump. It's unfortunate that the US government can't be counted on to operate in good faith, but that's a systemic issue and we are seeing with Trump and DOGE the first real attempt at making the sort of major changes FedGov needs.

Then they shouldn’t promise a buyout to thousands of employees that they can’t deliver. That’s operating in bad faith.

No, it's - unfortunately- public policy.
