In reply to the discussion: The federal government is paying more than 154,000 people not to work [View all]BumRushDaShow
(158,103 posts)And I'm still wondering why you keep narrowing what has been done to just a "deferred retirement".
There were a whole plethora of "Fork in the Road" nonsense emails sent out to employees in every Department and Agency - some that resulted in illegal "buyouts" which were NOT authorized by any legislation - I showed you the HHS crap from brainworm host (that is the Department my agency was under) - HHS sends all employees a $25,000 voluntary buyout offer
As I noted before, there were also numerous "without cause" FIRINGS - where employees with satisfactory or higher performance appraisals, were suddenly told to get out, and where those impacted had then attempted to get their cases (appropriately) addressed by the MSPB.... until 45 illegally fired the (D) member on the Board, leaving them without a quorum to even operate and carry out final adjudications (that case along with the NLRB Board members, is still being litigated in the lower courts after the SCOTUS allowed the illegality to continue, apparently not addressing the merits of those Board firings).
There are currently several "class action" suits that have been filed on behalf of federal employees who were illegally terminated - early mention of that here - Thousands join class actions as fired feds weigh options to challenge Trump's moves

The DOGE fuckheads assumed that if someone had "on probation" in their personnel file, they were "NEW" employees. A significant number were NOT "new", and were "Career" (way past "Career Conditional" status), but had moved to a different position - many being promoted to management positions (where there is a brief "probationary period" ).
Congress has only passed ONE "Rescissions" package that was signed into law to claw back funding that had already been authorized by the Continuing Resolution" that the government is currently operating on. JUST ONE. And that one was essentially ideologically targeted.
