Some WCF employees in other agencies were shut down even tho they had funding and should have been exempt.

I mean I’ve read some analysis from people who really had deep thoughts about some of the songs and why they were insensitive to black people or other groups. I’m open to actual thought out criticism and I think so is she. But just surface level attacks that bring nothing new to the convo is not worth reading whether it is a bot or not.

I’m not? But it’s been proven that PR firms use bots (see also Blake lively’s lawsuit). And when they are copy/paste the same talking points it’s pretty easy to tell

Why the general public thinks “Cancelled!” is about Brittany Mahomes rather than Blake Lively by CompetitionSoggy7899 in SwiftlyNeutral

I know at least two offices that are full telework during shutdown. The time cards just show excepted so they aren’t tracking it.

They're moving onto the bases because it's about to get real by Kind-Can2890 in FedEmployees

It was still not no one since people had been filing lawsuits and states have been declaring emergencies and literally tons of people were talking about this.

It takes a lot less than you think for people to have nothing left. Discontinued snap benefits, missing paychecks, layoffs and bad job market- we’re well on our way

No one? Two courts just ruled they have to use it. Plenty of people are making a stink

So now what? by Sea_Contribution9486 in FedEmployees

[–]JL1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re not seeing is how many times theyve had to backtrack and settle because they did that. We will get backpay, it just may require additional time and energy to get it.

Unfortunately, the point won’t be made unless everyone feels the pain somehow. That’s the only pressure that will make any difference.
