Federal Employees, how ya'll feeling?

[Consigliere]

I don’t work for the government directly. But this bs has slowed down my contracting opportunities. Plus cancelled a new job I was looking at taking.

Our business is down 29% this year.

The worst part is if these gov employees hit the job market they will out compete me and others for new jobs.

 

[Mister_DoItNice]

I’m not really tripping. I’m in a permanent position and I’m second on the list in terms of seniority in my facility. Plus I’m ATC so I can make money here or overseas.

 

[BigMan]

Glad I left for the private sector

IDC…I got two other streams of income so it’s meh for me. My fed check is just fukk off bread. I feel bad for my co-workers minus a couple who can drop their paperwork if they wanted to. People are going thru it with all the uncertainty but doing their jobs at high levels. Speaks to their professionalism. I’ve filled out 5 applications at the state level and a couple at the local level to get my foot in the door in policy and urban planning. Unfortunately, my best chances would lead me back to Texas. His transition team came through our bldg yesterday. They are as white and deplorable looking as you’d assume. Just off initial discussions, they talk like they’re gonna treat shyt like Al Dunlap (do your Googles). They also have zero clue wtf most subagency functions are so thoughts and prayers fed brehs and brehettes

Everything smooth as long as I can keep working from home

Aint you a Tariq dikkrider

You know Trump dont pay anybody let alone black people. Yall c00n ass will be the first to get the boot. You can go work at Tariq's museum after this. They need a biscuit maker.

 

[Born2BKing]

that boer elon will prob personally go through every file of departments he's gonna purge and target black folks

He is 100000% going to target black workers because he doesn't think they earned or deserved the job in the first place.

Meanwhile they're ramping up recruiting for the military. My brother just got out and they offering $15K in bonuses for him to come back. I'm sure it's more for special positions.

@DrBanneker I'm curious how you feel about where we are as IIRC you were someone who had a couple "Do we give Kamala a pass/Is she really black" threads? Not on no exposal sh!t but on some "was my perspective constructive/helpful as I watch what is coming over the horizon and how black people will be affected" type ish

Well, if you refer back to said threads I always stated up-front in the thread I am voting for KH (which I did) and I also said she was Black (I have friends that knew her back in Cali). My ancestry thread was made to firewall off all the BS discussions about her ancestry, including specious claims her father wasn't Black, into one thread so the 'real Black' narratives wouldn't pollute the other threads about the election. I never was a 'no vote, no tangibles' or 'third party' much less a MAGA poster.

My point, and I think it still stands, is that I believe the over the top euphoria and efforts to shield Kamala from criticism as well as memory hole her past were going to hurt her, not help her. This is the Internet Age where everything is out there and people's doubts and her past actions that alienated a lot of people (including Coli posters in the Bay Area) would stay out there. I thought if we didn't force her to be vocal on clarifying things and proving her past issues weren't going to trip her up as a candidate much of America, including many Blacks, would not believe in her and vote for her---and that turned out to be what happened.

She was objectively unpopular in opinion polls before becoming a candidate and I always got the threat of DJT, but I still think confronting those issues up front rather than the last minute hail mary throws her campaign and the Obamas tried was a fatal blow--especially for Black turnout.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

All day threads get made in a covert way that is basically laughing and getting enjoyment off of the supposed Trump future movements.


I swear the coli got some of the most bytch ass sambos.

 

[get these nets]

The primary reason this republicans and conservatives hate government agencies and so called bureaucrats is because they employ a lot of black people and it is how black people get to move into the middle class and get ahead in society.
.

Agree. The civil service exam was somewhat of an equalizer, that made govt jobs competitive by merit.

And Black people earned their way into the middle class as the opportunities they fought for were opened up.

Wouldn't be surprised if the DOJ investigates Elon for his calls to Russia before Biden leaves.
