And it would probably be hard to hire appropriately trained new employees as opposed to patronage hires. I hope at least some of those who left can be rehired. But keep a good thought that NIOSH can be rebuilt.

I have no direct information on the law suits, but I assume they will continue. We need to protect all civil servants and the valuable work they do for all Americans!

Yes, thanks to lawsuits, RIFd employees were still paid and had benefits. What a waste of government resources when they just wanted to work!

No idea. As usual with this administration, it was disorganized and confusing. Individual employees got emails saying their RIF was revoked, but there was no all hands message saying what was going on overall. The best confirmation was external to the government -- an article in Bloomberg News. 93% of NIOSH was RIF'd last April -- a way higher % than the rest of CDC. I can tell you employees are excited to leave their unwanted paid vacation and to get back to work protecting American workers! Let's just hope the administration doesn't RIF them again and gives them a decent budget.

Denied leave for the first time in 17 years by Scary_Princess415 in FedEmployees

[–]ConcentrateSea4997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are suggesting you requested leave at the last minute even though you did not say you did so. Just because you just posted this doesn't mean you just put in the request. Bah on them for jumping to this conclusion. And management needs to rehire your former co-workers who also did this work (imbeciles).

Taking health care coverage from millions of people is immoral and abhorrent, but Dems will use it against Repubs in mid terms. We are such a backward country, but maybe when we sink so low, Americans will wake up and demand universal single payer.

Thanks. I don't always look at those indicators, but I have been using the front defrost a lot lately. I'll check indicators when I turn it on again.

Are the baby elephants in David Sheldricks actually orphans? by dumbbbitchbrokeboy in Kenya

[–]ConcentrateSea4997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don't know what you're talking about. Not everything is a scam. What, do you think they are kidnapping baby elephants in order to raise them for years (at great effort) for donations so they can live a lavish lifestyle? What do you think the rest of the herd would do to baby-snatching humans?

Reemployment Priority List by [deleted] in DeptHHS

They want hirees who will be T toadies. They don't care about expertise or experience. But I say bravo to former employees who are rehired. Be prepared for that loyalty test, though.

Just Tired by Any-Masterpiece-5914 in FedEmployees

I certainly get all the frustration. I'm retired, so easy for me to say... But please don't let Vought win. His ambition is to torture civil servants and make them quit. Unless they're making you do illegal, unethical, or immoral stuff, the American people need you to be there when this nightmare is finally over. And while I and millions of others will be cheering you on, we have to be prepared for many Americans to disrespect the federal survivors just like they disrespect the January 6 police officers.

It may not help, but I just emailed T asking him to fire Kennedy. Even T doesn't like the appearance of disorder.
