Ya, but Trump is also the kind of person who doesn’t like to be called names but likes calling people names. A lot of people are going to feel compelled to lean into that.
Wait. You think the problem is "children" on the VC cult website?
You see no issues with the CEO of five companies who bought his way into U.S. politics and being a complete clown show of K-hole takes that go against everything the Constitution was written to hold as sacred being criticized for his BS?
Cool.
Nicknames help us deal with the reality of an Apartheid cult gaining influence on our government.
I think it's partly down to Twitter. On Twitter there are or were certain names (and Elon Musk was one of the worst) which it was unwise to say, because those people have hordes of weird obsessive fans who search for the name of their beloved, and pop in to sealion. Thus, nicknames. Not really a factor here, of course.
A Not-Actually-Fun-Fact I learned today: Even the Nazis doing their early purge of the German government [0] still found it necessary to offer 3 months of severance and 3/4ths continued pension.
[0] The 1933 legislation was against "officials whose previous political activities do not guarantee that they will always be fully committed to the national state."
The president is the head of the executive branch so technically he can make the decision to implement a new work policy. That doesn't mean it won't be challenged and that the courts won't have an opportunity to overturn it.
Procedurally it reminds me when the Biden administration issued a mandate for federal workers and federal contractors to be vaccinated for Covid 19. That mandate was ultimately blocked and overturned by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
Pretty sure our government isn't advanced enough to make Severance real. I am also confident that the current Administration would fumble if given the chance.
Title is clickbait. It's a buyout for workers that refuse to RTO.
The official statement verbatim:
"After four years of incompetence and failure, President Donald Trump is committed to making our government efficient and productive again. American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers. If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of eight months."
This sort of approach has the effect of getting rid of your best employees, not your worst. Those who can go find other work will take the offer and go. Those who can't will stay.

It is going to be a long 4 years.

Suffice to say, not a very trustworthy pair.
Does it apply to people dismissed because the President demanded to know how they voted and didn't like the answer?
I don't think so and your question was not addressed in the article.
Seems like very biased and irresponsible reporting.

Good point - I would expect they get nothing.
