But I am a former federal law clerk who took that same oath, and -- as a practicing attorney -- I frequently interact with U.S. Department of Justice attorneys and occasionally interact with agency staff from other departments.
You federal employees are amazing -- you are a professional, dedicated group of civil servants who give so much every single day in service of our nation. You are part of what makes America great.
I will do what I can to help from the outside. |

I am a civil engineer who deals with all the bureaucracy, red tape, and bullshit that comes from the review side. County level, state level, or fed level it’s all the same.
The LAST THING I would want to do is piss off my reviewer. You guys know the ropes so well you can slow everything down to a crawl. You can kill projects with a stroke of a pen because of an obscure ruling. You can ask for asinine things that make me want to pull my hair out.
And let me tell you it is your TIME TO FUCKING SHINE.
We need you so much right now. The whole country needs you. I am reading that you guys are getting fired up. Please fight. For us. You are our first line of defense against this craziness.
If there is anything you need, please let the people know. We will do our best.
And finally THANK YOU. I have cursed your name more than I am proud. But soon I hope to praise it. |

I joined the federal government to serve Americans. To help my countrymen and to help my country. I was so proud on the day I took my oath. I’m amazing at my job.
They think they can scare me away that easily? With their lies and twisted cruelties?
I remain a proud civil servant. I remain extremely effective, remote or otherwise. I’m not going to bullied out, no matter what lies they tell about me. I’m going to stay and I’m going to continue helping and serving those who need help until I literally can’t anymore.
Take your resignation scheme and fuck right off. |

Date: January 29th, 2025 9:42 AM Author: cannon To my fellow Feds, especially veterans: we’re at war Announcement We watched this goon try to overthrow the government on live tv four years ago. Now, we are witnessing him try to overthrow it from within. We are the last line of defense against fascism. If we leave, we will be replaced by loyalists. Read P2025 and, for the love of god, please believe what is written because that is what is happening. All the EOs are directly from that document.
I didn’t dedicate years of my life serving this great country to be bullied into quitting my career by a bunch of fascists. We are being led by the same types of people our grandparents fought against in WW2. They don’t care about us, regardless of the fact that one-third of us are veterans and many are military family members. They don’t care about your kids, your homes, your bills, your livelihood. They don’t care that you’re an American citizen. They don’t care that the annual spending on us is only 4% and won’t make a difference if we’re gone. They don’t care that we’re middle and lower class employees. They want to harm you. Do not give in to this nonsense and remember your oath to the constitution and the people of America. I don’t know what the future holds, but I refuse to bow down to this fascist authoritarian elite class. Nobody is coming to save us but we have strength in numbers. It’s time to buckle up, and continue protecting freedom and democracy. |

Senator Tim Kaine said not to accept the buyout because it's a trap HR Senator Tim Kaine just spoke and said that no one is to take the buyout from president Trump because there is no budget line to make payments for this and it's a trap. I have not received the email yet but when I do get it I am deleting it and not even reading it. I don't want to open it in case I accidentally reply. I am not quitting my job and nobody else should either. I've seen the email and it's very threatening but do not allow Elon Musk to push you out of your federal job.

As federal employees, we serve the American people with pride and dedication. We show up every day, no matter the challenges, because the work we do matters. We are the backbone of this country, and we will not let our efforts be in vain.
When the pressure is overwhelming, when it feels like everything is falling apart, remember this: not today. We won’t give up. Not now, not ever.
Stay strong, fellow federal employees. We are in this together, and we are not backing down.
“What do we say to the God of Death?” NOT today !!! |

The objective is to collapse the US government and replace it with a dictator. Watch it. We need to get over the inconvenience of having to work in the office and fight this. We need our own rage now more than ever. Don't give in. |

R1CHARDCRANIUM • 2h ago Profile Badge for the Achievement Top 1% Commenter Top 1% Commenter I’ve printed the P25 entire document and am studying it closely. Sun Tzu’s teachings recommend y’all do the same. It’s literally their battle plan. It’s being enacted page by page. So much so that you can pretty much predict when they’ll come for your agency.
GS7 employees are not the fat cat bureaucrats and even GS12s and 13s are middle class in the majority of this country. Barely middle class in a lot of areas. We are not the enemy. We are the cogs that keep this machine running. The vast majority of us simply yearn to serve, and nothing more.
Chin up, friends. This is a fight worth fighting. As cliche as it sounds, people really are depending on us.
If you take the “buyout,” I do not judge you one bit. It may be an enticing offer for many and if it’s what is best for you, then by all means, take care of yourself. Me, personally, wholeheartedly believe in my mission and will not silently abandon the people who I serve. I’m not saying you are abandoning anything, this is a deeply personal matter and, again, you’ll get no judgement from me. Take care of yourself and your family in the best way you can. |

It might take a few days for people to grasp just how enormous of an attack on our democracy this is. It might be when they need to get food stamps, it might be when they go check their student loan, it might be a thousand other things. But know, that the number of us who support you will only grow in these coming days.
Now is the time for you to be loud. Now is your time to be obnoxious. Now is the time to test your conviction. Do what Americans do best and fight back against the tyranny of the entitled and wrathful. These are selfish bastards who look to enrich themselves and their benefactors by stealing from the country, from it's people, and from you.
Big words coming from someone on the other side of a screen I know, but it is rare to know that we find ourselves in the midst of a historical moment. A blip in time that will determine the future of this country and what we as a collective people will stand for, and against.
Know that myself and millions of others are behind you in this moment.
Millions. Not hundreds, not thousands. Millions.
I can't say what will happen next, none of us can, but know no matter what, we stand in solidarity, and want to help however we can.
For anyone wondering how to help
Call your reps. Not just once, every day. It does help.
Express your support to anyone working in the fed government. Friends, family, even enemies.
Shoot down anyone telling you fed employees are lazy. That is a myth meant to demonize hard working patriots so that billionaire oligarchs can have a few more zeroes on their paycheck.
Either we rise together. Or we fall apart. |

PSA: /r/fednews is the largest community of federal workers on social media and a prime target for sophisticated propaganda. Critical thinking is now more crucial than ever. Announcement This subreddit is under attack from foreign and domestic threat actors. Every high profile political subreddit will be a target. Use your critical thinking and slam your report button for weird stuff to help keep bad actors on the radar. Thank you all so much for your diligence, stay strong. Do not resign unless you already lined up another job and the timing befits gambling on a payout.

Retained a federal law attorney tonight. Misc Question Printed out my entire eopf (hundreds of pages, all Outstanding appraisals), opm emails, opm faq's, email from my acting secretary endorsing the 'buyout', etc. I've also been in electronic communication with my personal physician this week describing a variety of severe symptoms related to job related stress. I've successfully procured legal representation in the past for a seven figure settlement. I sue people, not places. It's much more effective. Let's go.
