Continued thread

I decided to expand this one out because I ran out of room to finish my argument here on the blog. I wrote about why a recent OPM memo allowing Christian Nationalists to attempt to convert their federal coworkers is a disturbing sign that may point to what the Trump regime's next excuse for a fascist crusade will be - combatting "anti-Christian bias" (by doing more fascism!)

Nina-Bytes: Dark Omens of a New Crusade

"There will of course be folks who accuse me of overreacting when I say this new guidance is clearly the on ramp for the official adoption of Christian Nationalism as a state ideology, but I think even a cursory reading of what OPM Director Scott Kupor just released here demonstrates that this has nothing to do with workplace tolerance, or freedom of religion. In addition to allowing religious iconography, and public prayer, Kupor also wants government employees to be able to display “posters” with “religious messages” and solicit participation from even non-Christian employees in group expressions of religious sentiment. So what happens when your evangelical nazi co-worker puts up a poster saying “God hates queers?” How about when your Christian Nationalist supervisor calls “the team” together for a group prayer asking Jesus to protect the chosen one, Donald J. Trump? If you have to ask those questions, you’re clearly not understanding the policy; remember, laws, rights, and rules have no dominion over fascists in power, and only serve to bind or oppress their enemies."

Nina Illingworth Dot Com | "When the revolution is for everyone, everyone will be for the revolution" · Nina-Bytes: Dark Omens of a New Crusade | on NIDCNina talks about how a recent, barely noticed OPM federal workplace guidance may signal the next fundie fascist crusade the Trump regime intends to conduct.

AmeriCorps workers will soon begin returning to work.

Following a legal victory last week, AmeriCorps on Thursday began informing AmeriCorps staff that previously announced layoffs have been canceled. BUEs AmeriCorps workers will soon begin returning to work. This is a direct result of the litigation filed by AFSCME Local 2027 (District Council 20) against AmeriCorps. And this win at AmeriCorps is just one example of AFSCME members fighting back to protect their jobs so they can continue to provide vital services to their communities. As of Friday, every AFSCME member in the federal workforce who has been issued a reduction-in-force (RIF) notice since this administration took office in January has since had it rescinded.afscme.org/blog/afscme-members

Appealing severance and annual leave payments

I got RIF’d and instead of waiting around I resigned and took a better job elsewhere. I was at HHS. I was there ten years. If there’s some error or problems with getting my annual leave pay out or severance, where can I appeal? I’ve been emailing HR and they’re giving me the runaround.

Tracking #federal #layoffs

Visualizing Trump’s overhaul of #federalworkforce
#CNN is tracking evolving situation at federal offices in Washington and across #UnitedStates. Thousands of #federalworkers have been laid off or issued immediate termination notifications as part of Trump administration’s plan to cut spending and downsize the federal #government.
The tracker only includes firings and not administrative leave or those who took buyouts at the fork in the road.

Wanna be a Dairy Grader? How will you help Presidential Executive Orders.

Hello Fednews users, I just felt like swinging in here to get your opinion on this job application question I saw today.While trying to fill out an application for a job inspecting milk and cheese equipment, for the Dept. of Agriculture, this is Question 3 on the application."*3. How would you help advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired"What exactly am I implementing? Am I supposed to enforce immigrant detention policy through milkfat percentages? Execute budget cuts while sniffing gouda?

No more SSA CSR's as of 8/1/25.

Since they are taking all of the service reps away from the field office, does that mean that grade 11 and 12 people will be required to do grade eight and seven work while grade 8 and 7 people will be doing grade four and five work? Doesn't this seem a bit wasteful? How exactly are claims specialist supposed to do their job and the job of the service representatives they no longer have? Another question is, how can they just take away the career letter that these service representatives were counting on? I don't really understand what they expect us to do. I started in my current field office two and a half years ago and we had 18 employees. After Vera and VSIP, we had nine. We will now have six. We were understaffed when I got there but how are six employees supposed to take care of a field office which arguably should have 25 to 30 people? This is just crazy and by the time the American people figure out what's going on it's going to be too late.

I turned in my resignation!!!

I did it. I turned in my resignation. It’s been a wild ride since January. I feel so relieved that the constant anxious, uneasy feeling in my stomach is gone. I have been smiling more. People are commenting on how happy I seem. I can’t describe how good it feels to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I look forward to the future. My thoughts will continue to be with those who are holding the line. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I will be deleting Reddit and never searching Trump News or Federal Employee News EVER again. I am going to prioritize my mental health. Thank you all for the support and commodity over the past 7 months!!!!
