 The Road of #47: THE DREADED PINK SLIP


 Date line: 2/14/25: The White House


   #47 and his posse in its efforts to reduce the size/cost of the fed workforce, last night laid off over 1000 employees of Veterans Affairs saving the department more than $98 million a year. Those “pink slipped” included non-bargaining unit probationary employees who have been employed less than a year in a competitive service appointment or less than two years in an expected service appointment. 

   OPM (Office of Personnel Management) an independent agency of the United States government that manages the United States federal civil service itself was not immune as some workers received their walking papers via a group call. They were “dismissed” and told to leave the building within the “half-hour”. WOW…

  Some union leaders representing those let go are calling these moves “a politically driven mass firing spree, targeting employees not because of performance, but because they were hired before Trump took office.” This is very similar to the Kennedy Center dismantling. Once again, new broom sweeps clean…
