Trump orders all federal diversity, equity and inclusion employees placed on paid leave starting Wednesday
The Trump administration also directed government agencies to draw up plans for firing workers in DEI roles.
honestly feels like democracy is crumbling in front of our eyes, we are regressing with blazing speed.
We knew it would. Consider the amount of damage he was able to cause in his first term without a plan, experience, or support, and during a global pandemic.
Almost every posting on https://www.usajobs.gov/ was just pulled.
I only really hear about the healthcare side of things, so on that note the VA (and veterans who get care there) just got FUCKED.
...this is gonna to cause a tsunami of demand on the private sector that's already hanging on by a thread.
We are firmly in the 'find out' phase.
Wow. Mask is off! No pretense now. Nazi agenda being rolled out. It's not MAGA. It's MAWA.
There really wasn't any masked pretense before the election, either.
Unfortunately nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Ah. Clearly a national priority.
I mean, he's been barfing out other orders, left right and center
So how do you know? Does this mean every none white male is on paid leave now?
I think this means employees working in DEI compliance roles. So not DEI hires, but people who are enforcing DEI.
I mean how many people can this be? Are there actually any people who only work on dei compliance? Seems like one of the many things that would be handled by someone who got cross trained in an HR department.
Would be pretty rad if you were in that position though. Seems likely some people just got a 4 year long paid vacation. After the civil service reform act, trying to fire people like this is a long and uphill battle.
