In a deep dive by the Washington Post on the drastic measures government workers are undergoing to protect their jobs, or the possibility of legal harassment from president-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration, Republicans are also making plans to make them fall in line with the president-elect's agenda.

According to the report, panicked staffers are looking for jobs in the private sector, seeking to move to different departments that may not be impacted as muc with the Post report adding, "...some civil servants are taking out liability insurance to cover lawyers if they’re demoted or fired."

Speaking with the Post, Jesus Soriano, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3403, admitted, "There is shock and there is actual fear, and there is self censure in the sense that people are scared about retaliation."


The report adds that Trump's allies in Congress also want to get in on clamping down on civil servants............................

[elleng]

14. PLEASE don''t MENTION pensions!!!

18. August 2020 for me

I worry about the coworkers and friends I left behind. Since they're DoD civil service, I figure they'll be catching it two ways... Rump and military. I didn't want to retire when I did, I thought it was stupid... But now I'm actually glad I'm not there any longer. I went thru the stress of couple of rifs and that was bad enough. Having to self censor would be so hard for me... I've always been outspoken. Constant worry about staying employed would just be too much.

2. Will this be perceived more like potty training, or a re-education camp?

This is real hand-holding for adult minds. This is very very sick and twisted. We do not treat free people like this. This is religion without clergy and churches.

[slightlv]

19. I'd bet the chaplains get involved in the training.

As long as they're the right sect of chaplain. As it stands when the WH or other PTB screwed up, training would be announced based on how they screwed up. Of course they were too busy and important to go, but was mandatory for we peons.

24. " re-education camp"

Mercedes, number one!

[scarletlib]

30. My thoughts exactly.

[HUAJIAO]

8. YES !!

Only it will be a fist!

[surfered]

5. Off to re-education camps

[HUAJIAO]

7. This is no joke.

[surfered]

9. Wasn't meant as one. It was meant as condemnation of the incoming regime.

I’m old enough to remember Vietnamese re-education camps

[HUAJIAO]

10. Oh, I know it wasn't a joke. Absolutely.

For sure. I was agreeing.

[surfered]

11. Great!

[dalton99a]

12. A loyal oath to Trump will be required for successful completion

[Midnight Writer]

15. And an NDA.

[Puppyjive]

16. FML

I'm approaching retirement. I've had several jobs with the government, including active duty military. This last job takes the cake. I will never work for the feds ever again. I'm not sure what more Trump can put on our plates when it comes to training. I have a thankless job that is essential. We are constantly training. We are constantly surveilled. We are understaffed and new hires just quit because of the stress and difficulty Of the job. The pay is mediocre compared to the private sector. I say bring it on repubs. You will push us into retirement. You won't replace us. It takes years to become proficient. Fuck around and see what happens. And when I say essential, I'm not kidding around.

17. Taught to keep their eyes downcast.

Step aside when the political appointee passes. Not ask questions. Speak only when spoken to. Obey.

[republianmushroom]

20. Just say YES, that is all the training you will need.

[Karasu]

21. How the fuck even the most idiotic among us can pretend that this shit isn't fascism is beyond me when THIS is the kind

of shit they're openly doing.

[Orrex]

22. The unredacted version reveals that they have to kneel and ask to kiss his perineum.

23. The Department of Re-Education... coming soon to Disneyland on the Potomac

[C0RI0LANUS]

25. Trumpf may as well demand mandatory German language classes be taught in the US.

[moniss]

26. I wonder which profiteer will be paid to run

the re-education camps?

[underpants]

27. Look who the incoming AG lobbied for

Bondi has also lobbied for the GEO Group, a major private prison company that is paid hundreds of millions of dollars each year by the federal government, according to federal records. The Justice Department is a major customer.

29. Quite likely and maybe Moosk will

skim some off the top somehow.

28. Any MAGA who whined about mandatory DEI training are really gonna love

mandatory Trump Speak.

[milestogo]

31. Way to root out the best and the brightest employees.

[Wiz Imp]

32. This is blatantly unconstitutional

[Marcuse]

33. Code of Federal Regulations; Title 51; Part 1; Project 2025.

[modrepub]

34. So How Many Hours of Federal Employee Time

will the taxpayers be paying for this escapade?

FOIA the offices to see what "education" they are doing. And while we're at it, might as well figure out who's getting paid to put these "trainings" together.

Drain the swamp, my a$$...

[Emile]

35. Only the Ass Kissers will survive.

[Deminpenn]

36. Mandatory training

Been to many mandatory training sessions. Few attendees take them seriously. Willing to bet some employees will accuse hated or awful bosses of being "disloyal" and some bosses will use the same excuse to finally rid themselves of the employees everyone including co-workers know can't or aren't doing the job and for whom they have to cover the work that isn't being done by said employee.

[DSandra]

38. Unless it goes anything like this

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

37. Probably be pretty easy to dupe Donald "Jim Crow" Trump's agents

and fake being loyal. Then sabotage the bastard and his cronies covertly.

39. The Ministry of Love will take you to Room 101 if you don't hail Trump as a great man.
