I've seen a copy of the email. The offer also leaves it open for the agency to keep making the person work, so it's not a clear-cut "paid administrative leave" situation. Even if it were, there is no way they'd keep it going through the date they claim; they'd make up some reason to cut people off.
I'm about 95% certain this is a trap to get rid of what will probably primarily be federal employees who dislike Trump. The other 5% is still trying to figure out how the hell to get off this train.
Fucking disgraceful excuses for human beings. These people literally had to take time and energy out of their day to tell a private company, "stop treating different people as equals or (implied threat of litigation)." It would have taken zero effort for them to do nothing.
Yup. I made myself an alt account with heavy filters (and new ones being added whenever something shows up I can't deal with) for when I just can't handle the brunt of reality.
Mental health frog is still pretty beaten up, though.
Y'know, as unrealistic as this (probably? I'm not really sure of anything, anymore) is, seeing this pop up in my scrolling gave me a bit of relief. I've been so terrified and angry and anxious and unsure of the (immediate) future that it's practically paralyzed me. Knowing that this pipedream is there helped me breathe for a moment. I'll take what relief I can get right now.
Costco was about the same per dozen (business costco had 15 doz for ~$137) and they're supposed to be cheaper because of membership fees and buying in bulk. But, hey, at least those damned trans folk are miserable! That's all any of us ever really wanted, right?
Oh look, another brick wall on which to bang my head until I do enough brain damage to understand the reichright.
True, but I meant more that people want specific individuals to die, as opposed to groups of people. I am, unfortunately, quite familiar with being hated for being part of certain groups.
I sometimes wonder how it must feel to go through your daily life knowing that there's a large percentage of the entire planet's population that either actively wants you dead or, if not, would celebrate (or at least not care) if you died.
It can't be a good feeling. I appreciate that. I hope it feels absolutely terrible.
