Please Meidas Touch, devote some posts on federal employees and what we can do to protect ourselves. Trump’s henchmen are coming after us with a lot of pressure to “squeal” on each other. They don’t even know what DEI offices and programs do (which primarily is about helping us understand each other better, regardless of background, including neurodiversity etc — those programs make us MORE EFFICIENT and not less). I’d like to see legal advice presented for the federal workforce. Please help give us support and hope.

FED EEOC is run by the employees of each Agency, hence, moot! Canceling EEOC nationwide is a whole different ballgame. So, it appears this is the beginning of ratting on others to keep your job. Next the children will.be required to rat on the members of their family! Remind you of pre - WW2 in Germany?

Are you civil servants? If so, you should have protection from losing your position because the big boss is pitching a fit. Also, if you have a Union or employee association that you contribute to…CALL THEM! They take your fees, make them earn them. Call ACLU regarding a class action law suit for fed employees to see if it’s viable.

Union is already on it. But you know how slippery slimey the orange stooge can be when it comes to courts and lawsuits. Will take time in the courts.

Paid leave is similar to government shut down. Same. Paid vacation. $$Billions taxpayer dollars lost. Not his money. He doesn’t care. Pass the ketchup!

But you’ll miss the lovely announcement that OPM will be sending dictums to all fed employees directly via HR@OPM.gov. They don’t trust our agencies’ HR staff, until they’re replaced by “Stepford Wives” Trumpers.
