Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Here’s the problem with this. Employees who take voluntary layoffs often have a lot of confidence in their ability to find new work. They believe in their skills and aren’t worried about landing another job. On the other hand, those who stay might be less motivated and less sure about their chances in the job market. They might feel uncertain about being hired elsewhere, which can lead to feeling stuck and less satisfied with their job. This creates a situation where the more confident and capable employees are the ones who are more likely to leave, while those who stay might be more cautious or less optimistic about their career options.
So what you end up doing is scraping the cream from the top and leaving the less talented. In the business world this is a good way to boost short term profits but what you’re left with often goes bankrupt. It’s happened multiple times in the tech world.
You see, your mistake was thinking that they want to make things better and are just misguided. The point is to gut the government and make it bad.
I don’t even think that’s the complete end goal. I think they want a bunch of people either completely loyal and will do whatever they ask or completely fearful and act the exact same way.
To destabilize is the goal.
Also there are federal employees who have chronic illnesses and can‘t change employer as easily since not every other employer has the same benefits.
Yeah I never even considered your second thing. Excellent point.
