FedGov Desk Mummies Getting Laid Off

The only black female Trump voter amongst feds is brought up in an OP on /r/fednews and you won't believe what happened next:

FemalePOCTrumpVoter.jpg



That's right, they nuked her OP for admitting her co-worker was a black woman Trump voter, but fortunately there's a screenshot of the original OP.
 
Desk mummies, or should I say car seat mummies, bitching about their daily mileage:


Joe the Pleb shows up with some realtalk from the streets... and gets downvoted immediately by 55 cranky ex-feds:

OhNoGottaCommuteNowLikeThePlebs.jpg


Imagine being so detached from the rest of society that everyone you know works from home.


Here's another career desk mummy, a "dream employee" who had been remote-working since forever: "This person knew nothing but telework their entire civil service career"

CareerDeskMummyRemoteWorkingSince4Ever.jpg



One of their own shows up in this thread to point out that RA ("Remote Accomodation") is only meant for employees who are themselves disabled, not for someone who is themselves able-bodied but wants to WFH because they have a disabled kid to take care off: "These are the stories some politicians latch onto and are correct"

Desk mummies insist that they are smarter than everyone else, that everyone is just jealous of them and that the smartest people choose to work for the FedGov instead of getting a commercial job in the private sector. They insist that the private sector is just waiting to snatch up all these laid-off feds.

"Fed employees are some of the most intelligent, level-headed people in this nation", not really my impression when I see so many feds posting their meds in your subreddit with other asking if they should "martyr" themselves:

TheMostLevelHeadedFeds.jpg


"They are just happy to have reliable and professional Feds suddenly in the job market."

HappyToHaveUsProFeds.jpg



Literally kissing their own asses: "We know more than the average person". This is why you desk mummies deserve to be laid off, literally this self-congratulatory bullshit:


DeskMummiesSelfMarilynMansons.jpg


Desk mummies are smarter than Joe the Pleb working in private, because as feds they're PhDs and they are porn addicts (the perks of teleworking, you see):

PhDAndCornsick.jpg


Desk mummies are so hyper-intelligent and smarter than everyone else... yet even they need to learn how to write a resume that an average HR person can understand, Specifically, desk mummies need to trim down their 4 page resume to a one page resume, which must really sting the ego of a career bureaucrat who was hoping to impress a corporate HR with all the irrelevant bullshit they did while teleworking from home well past the Covid lockdowns:

Desk mummies prepping one another to deal IRL with the plebs they've been avoiding all this time through telework and Teams meetings:

What's a good comeback when MAGA people say "So I pay your salary"

 
"Fed employees are some of the most intelligent, level-headed people in this nation", not really my impression when I see so many feds posting their meds in your subreddit with other asking if they should "martyr" themselves:
That's a pretty level headed reaction to goose-stepping fascists taking over the nation though.
What's a good comeback when MAGA people say "So I pay your salary"
"I pay my salary too, dumbass"
 
When the desk mummies were first getting laid off, there were comments like this all over social media, suggesting that that disgruntled ex-feds would switch sides and leak national secrets and intel to adversaries of the US to avenge their lay-offs, especially the ones who were admitted mentally ill DEI hires:

WhyDeskMummiesAreDangerous.jpg


RFedNewsCyberSecurityThreat.jpg



Desk mummies themselves saw those comments about them selling out to China and Russia, and had a thread /r/fednews where they joked about it:

FedsHaveYouBeenRecruited.jpg


Source:
I already pointed out early that ex-feds on Reddit were basically warned to watch their mouths and be more mindful about what they were posting on /r/fednews, with some of them shockingly openly discussing their encryption at work:

"Remember your opsec training: Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)",


Trump wasn't very amused though, so now Tulsi Gabbard has began revoking security clearances to prevent anyone switching sides and using their security clearance to obtain access to secrets:

‘A SLAP IN THE FACE’: Trump, Gabbard revoke security clearances for top Biden officials​


Sen. Tom Cotton lauds DNI Gabbard for stripping ex-Biden officials of clearances​


 
Desk mummies are mad at the general public making fun of them getting laid off:

CheeringOnOthersLosingTheirJobs.jpg


Source:

"I am just disgusted with people celebrating individuals losing their livelihood"
, where was this energy when people in the commercial sector were getting laid off? Naw, you were the ones cheering then, because you hate Big Tech and nerds deserved to get laid off. BTW, we're not "cheering for people losing their jobs", do you see anyone cheering for all those laid-off Starbucks workers? We're cheering YOU being laid off, because you were never a public servant to begin with. We are cheering that elitist snobs who never deserved their jobs and never wanted to serve the public they hated so much anyway, we are cheering that they are getting laid off and getting a much needed reality-check.

The desk mummies themselves openly admit they have no empathy for any Trump supporters who got fired along with them - because that's what happens during a re-organization, it's not about politics or singling anyone out - but despite lacking any empathy themselves, they want others to feel sorry for them? "A lot of them veterans who thought they were untouchable. Sorry to say I have zero empathy for anyone who voted for Trump and then got fired."

DeskMummiesHateTheVets.jpg


Again, why are desk mummies supposed to have that elusive "job security" that literally no one else has? Just because they are in government?

DeskMummyCantConcentrateOnTheMission.jpg


Welcome2ThePrivateSector.jpg


This is how a desk mummy who is supposed to be a public servant views the average pleb: "30-40% of the American public are sadistic bigots who have no business participating in a democracy based on mutual good will and problem solving."

Here's more fed-hatred towards the general public, in this post it's towards the elderly: "The elderly on medicaid are prime Republican voters. They voted for suicide by ballot."

So went over to /r/fednews to see how many favourite desk mummies are doing since I last checked in on them:

HowAreTheFedsDoing.jpg



Oh, OK...

All those feds who weeks ago were bragging about "holding the line" and shit, they are finally caving in it seems:


FedsCantTakeItAnymore01LMAO.jpg



"There is not enough courage and fight", every time you read a statement like that on /r/fednews, remember that these desk mummies were supposed to ensure continuity of government in the event of a literal war with China or Russia, but they can't even mentally handle a change of administration. Gotta love the "We cannot be merciful this next time", what makes you think there will be a next time if the present admin chooses to not be merciful with you?

FedsThereIsNotEnoughCourageNFight.jpg



Funny how feds with their tax payer funded jobs always seem have the kind of money "just" lying around that allow them to bounce and move to New Zealand when they don't so radical anymore:

FedsHaveTheKindOfMoneyToBounce.jpg



"My veterans are blasting fox news when I meet with them. (...) One of my special interests is lgbtq and particularly transgender veterans.", this sounds like a comedy sketch, frankly:

Someone on /r/fednews posted what I consider to be a "lawfare directive" for feds. This came from someone claiming to be a veteran, but I am pretty sure that's just a LARP, as this post was very clearly written by some Democrat ambulance chaser of an activist lawyer:

Dear Fellow Federal Employee,

I write to you today as a colleague who shares your fears, frustrations, and exhaustion. As a husband, brother, and son, I understand the weight of uncertainty we all carry. As an American, I feel the growing fear of an administration that seems to have turned its power against us, the very public servants who uphold this country. As a veteran, I am disgusted by the attacks on us who’ve dedicated our lives to serve, who now are being labeled as lazy, undeserving, or even as traitors by people who have never been in the service of others a day of their lives.

Like you, I am scared. I am angry. I am hurt. And I am tired.

I fear for my livelihood. The questions “Will I have an income in the coming months? Am I safe?” replay in my mind like a song I can’t escape. I fear the nightmare of having to choose between paying child support to avoid going to prison but may default on my mortgage that is the roof over my family’s head. I’m angry because, even if I stay afloat, many others will not. Thousands of dedicated federal workers have been unfairly labeled as poor performers under false pretenses. I am hurt by the growing public resentment, stoked by leaders who pit Americans against one another. I am exhausted from sleepless nights and from consoling colleagues who look to me for answers, when I have none. This must change.

For too long, federal employees, whether unionized (BU) or non-unionized (NBU), have been divided by an adversarial culture that undermines our dignity. Now, an administration openly hostile to federal workers has successfully turned the public against us, painting us as undeserving of our jobs and paychecks.

One of the most egregious examples of this betrayal was the “Fork in the Road” debacle, where employees were left without guidance. Managers were told not to offer their opinions, while unions told its members not to accept it yet failed to fully address the implications of the offer, both leaving employees uninformed and vulnerable. This lack of communication was a failure we cannot allow to happen again.

As leaders, we must do better. We must lead with transparency and integrity. We must value and inform those under our charge, not treat them as statistics. It is time to correct such failures, to ensure we understand what is happening, and prepare our people for the difficult road ahead.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAID:

1. Validity of the Offer (Funding):
Federal appropriations dictate agency budgets, with Congress assigning funds and the Executive administering them. When the "Fork in the Road" offer was made, its funding source was unclear. With the newly approved Continuing Resolution (CR), it appears that Congress has effectively surrendered its oversight, granting the Executive unchecked financial discretion with no transparency requirements. It is possible these funds will now be used for this purpose, but this uncertainty should have been disclosed from the outset.

2. Validity of the Contract: The "deferred resignation" contracts offered by OPM are legally dubious. Federal employees are hired and managed by their respective agencies, not OPM. Courts have consistently ruled that OPM lacks authority over hiring and firing decisions across agencies. As Judge William Alsup stated:

"The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees at another agency."

This means that OPM had no legal authority to make these agreements binding. While the resignation waivers may be upheld, the contract itself is built on misrepresentation, coercion, and violations of public policy, all grounds for legal challenge that should result in invalidating the agreement in its entirety.

3. Credibility of the Parties Involved: This administration’s key figures are notorious for breaching contracts and failing to honor commitments. Many agency leaders have been replaced with unqualified political appointees, including members of the Heritage Foundation and individuals with no prior federal service experience. Meanwhile, OPM, the very agency that violated existing telework agreements, expects employees to trust it with future commitments.

Further, probationary employees who accepted the offer were later informed they were ineligible, effectively leaving them with no job and no compensation. Employees were told they had 45 days for review, yet many were given only seven days.

Employees who accepted these agreements should immediately consult an attorney regarding:

  • OPM’s legal authority (or lack thereof) to enter into such contracts.
  • Whether misrepresentation, coercion, or duress invalidates their agreements in its entirety.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID:

1. Retirement & Benefits:
If you are considering retirement due to fear of losing benefits, be aware that pensions and Social Security are already under threat. Federal pensions, historically secure, could face the same fate as state pensions that have been revoked for "just cause." The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) governs pension plans, and I strongly urge you to review their guidance.

To be clear, your contributions to TSP will be safe. The threat or possible benefits lost will come in the following forms:

  • You would lose your defined benefit pension, which is based on years of service and salary history.
  • Employers sponsored health insurance.
  • Early retirement social security supplement (those who retire before 62, normally receive a supplement in leu of SS. This will be eliminated).
  • TSP contributions will no longer be matched, affecting overall end date projected balance.
The elimination of such benefits in conjunction with the current palpable possibility of also losing SS, could affect any possibility of retiring, particularly before age or without health insurance.

There are some proposed bills already in the House that affect in one way or another, all the above elements.

2. Weekly HR Reporting Emails: Recent directives requiring federal employees to submit weekly activity reports under threat of termination are legally questionable. Any official compelling such reporting beyond authorized channels could be personally liable under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).

Relevant legal protections include:

  • 18 U.S.C. § 115 – Prohibits threats to influence or retaliate against federal employees.
  • 18 U.S.C. § 872 – Criminalizes extortion by federal officials.
  • 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b) – Protects federal employees from intimidation and coercion.
  • 18 U.S.C. § 371 – Criminalizes conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government.
  • 18 U.S.C. § 1030 – Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) protections.
In other words, you can stop complying with this illegal request if you so choose too. Any adverse action against you, should be, must be, and will be rectified by the court. You can also continue to send generic information to prevent dealing with them and just getting it over with. As long as you (as employee) are not sharing something prohibited by law, you commit no violations.

3. Telework Mandate: The forced return to office violates both contractual agreements and federal law. The Telework Enhancement Act (Public Law 111–292) guarantees telework eligibility unless performance or agency operations are negatively impacted. No evidence has been presented that telework has reduced productivity, in fact, Treasury’s August 2023 report showed increased efficiency since 2018.

The NTEU has filed a grievance, but the issue should be pursued in court as a breach of contract directly against the administration, not just on behalf of members (i.e., a legal entity with rights to sue and be sued). Currently, the union has several potential remedies, including:

  • Filing a Lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims: The Tucker Act (28 U.S.C. § 1491) allows claims against the federal government for contract breaches.
  • Seeking Injunctive Relief in Federal District Court: If the breach involves ongoing or future harm, NTEU can request an injunction to stop unlawful government actions. This is particularly relevant if the breach violates statutory rights under labor laws, which in this case, it does.
  • Filing an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) Charge: Under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (5 U.S.C. Chapter 71), NTEU can file a ULP complaint with the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) if the breach involves unfair labor practices. The FLRA has the power to order remedies such as reinstating contract terms or compelling the government to bargain in good faith.
  • Arguing a Constitutional Violation: If the breach involves taking away vested rights without due process, NTEU might argue a violation of the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
4. Reduction in Force (RIF)

Under OPM regulations, agencies may only conduct RIFs for legitimate reasons, such as budgetary constraints or reorganization. However, courts have invalidated RIFs proven to be pretextual (Losure v. Interstate Commerce Commission). Given that agency budgets were increased, any claim of "shortage of funds" is suspect. If a RIF occurs, it will likely be overturned months later, just as prior unlawful dismissals have been.

For those who in the meantime may be unlawfully terminated, agency officials that follow orders from DOGE or OPM mandating such dismissal, are violating the law and could, should and most likely will be personally liable for such violations. If you want to sue a federal official personally for imposing unlawful orders, here are the primary legal avenues:

  • Bivens Claims (Constitutional Violations): Under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (1971), you can sue federal officials personally for violating your constitutional rights. Common claims include violations of the First Amendment (free speech/retaliation), Fourth Amendment (unlawful searches/seizures), and Fifth Amendment (due process violations). However, courts have been limiting Bivens claims in recent years, making them harder to pursue.
  • Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) (Negligence & Misconduct): While the FTCA generally allows lawsuits against the government, it does not allow personal lawsuits against individual officials. However, if an official acts outside the scope of their employment, they lose FTCA protection and can be sued personally for torts like fraud, defamation, or assault.
  • Ultra Vires Doctrine (Acts Beyond Legal Authority): If a federal official acts beyond their legal authority (ultra vires actions), they can sometimes be sued in their individual capacity under administrative or constitutional law.
  • Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) (If Conspiracy Exists): If federal officials conspired to violate your rights through fraud, coercion, or threats, a civil RICO lawsuit (18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq.) may be an option.
It is without a doubt that most officials will claim to be acting within their official capacity and protected under Federal Torts Claim Act (FTCA). Particularly with the new executive order granting OPM powers to direct other agencies to unlawfully terminate employees. However, intentional, reckless, or made with actual malice actions (such as violating the law to comply with an unlawful mandate such as this one) will open the doors for suits outside the scope of FTCA.

  • Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED)
  • Retaliation (if related to whistleblowing or protected activity)
  • Equal Protection or Due Process Violations (if case of defamation that causes loss of employment rights, such as false performance allegations).
For the record, the new order granting powers to OPM is unconstitutional as the executive cannot grant powers to OPM, only congress can effect such mandate or change. Be prepared as many agency’s executives/leaders will knowingly comply with this unlawful mandate; however, fear not as it will be subsequently corrected by the courts and employees affected will be revindicated once again.

We are living in unprecedented times, facing an administration that has targeted us for elimination. But we do not have to accept this passively. Know your rights, challenge unlawful directives and support one another. We are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. We are the backbone of this nation’s public service, and we shall not, AND WE WILL NOT go down without a fight.

To my fellow attorneys and officers of the court: Thank you. I will continue to contribute by conducting research, crafting legal arguments, and drafting motions, along with gathering any relevant evidence I can. As many of these cases inevitably reach the Supreme Court, I ask only that we challenge claims of absolute immunity and presidential powers with the following legal arguments and questions of law; trusting that their own sense of self-preservation will guide them to the right decision. Simply state the following:

1) Does such immunity mean the executive can use Seal Team 6 to assassinate a judge because of a ruling against the administration, they claim interferes with the president’s prerogatives?

2) Can the executive create and interpret laws; or interpret and/or modify unilaterally laws created by congress, effectively creating a futile judicial branch, under the presidential powers?

To all that oppose the lawlessness showed by this administration: Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay strong.

This post, I think, is a perfect example of what these desk mummies actually sit there and "do" all day. They go through the law books and figure out convoluted ways to undermine the government and the general public just to enrich themselves and cement their positions. Activist lawyers with dollars in their eyes have figured out a way to try and get rich from DOGE reorganizing the government.

This is particularly rich:

"As a veteran, I am disgusted by the attacks on us who’ve dedicated our lives to serve, who now are being labeled as lazy, undeserving, or even as traitors by people who have never been in the service of others a day of their lives."

Remember when y'all on /r/fednews were openly "joking" about getting recruited by the Russians and the Chinese, or openly plotting to respond to OPM with encrypted e-mail bombs to paralyze their e-mail server? I posted your shit here in the thread. Don't be surprized when the general public calls you "traitors" for openly threatening to leak national secrets just because you lost your job.

Speaking of which, this DoD desk mummy claims that the DoD is supposedly (he provided no evidence for this) currently installing cameras in certain offices where they weren't there before, which makes sense after so many public threats on /r/fednews and elsewhere by disgruntled feds to steal national secrets and leak them to the Chinese and Russians:


DoDCameras.jpg



Because that's totally a reasonable way to respond to being laid off, you know, we civilian plebs steal and leak shit all the time to competitors whenever we're laid off. They've also apparently disabled the making of screenshots:

DoDNoMoreScreenshots.jpg


Now the desk mummies are complaining that the cameras themselves, that are meant to discourage stealing and leaking, are the security breach: "It’s a slippery slope from monitoring web cams to monitoring microphones and violating wire tap laws."

DoDViolatingWireTapLaws.jpg



Are they "getting more catty and bitchy", or do they finally feel free to report these things because now they feel like something is actually going to be done about them this time?

CattyFeds.jpg



BTW, this is how feds talk about those working beneath them (and citizens as well): "he’s my data entry bitch boy."

FedsMyDataEntryBBoy.jpg



I hope more feds get fired and re-hired as "data entry bitches", I mean AOC said sex work is just like any other job, so.
 
The moderator of /r/fednews openly admitted the mod team is removing a lot sudoku posts: "There are a lot of 数独 posts."

RFednewsSudokuPostsRMed.jpg



Wow, that's brave! Someone on /r/fedsnews said the quiet part out loud, surprised this post didn't get immediately banned by some troon janny:

SomeoneSaidTheQuietPartOutLoud.jpg



Someone else also said the quiet part out loud, because when one person finds the courage to say this, inevitably more follow suit:

SomeoneSaidTheQuietPartOutLoud01.jpg



I'm impressed. Even in this /r/fednews where 99% of the feds admit they are either Dems or far left, some of them are saying the quiet part out loud: "like it or not, pretty sure a lot of Americans are transphobic…"

SomeoneSaidTheQuietPartOutLoud02.jpg



I might as well have posted this myself, thank you stranger for continuing to give these desk mummies a much needed reality check:

TheTruthAboutDeskMummiesAMEN.jpg


"It may upset you, but if you lost your job it means that your position was not essential to keep this country functioning. If you can’t find a new job, it should show you how useless you are to the workforce.

Being a burden on the taxpayers is not a good thing.

Also, this sub shows us how many entitled, narcissistic, and mentally unstable people are ‘working’ for the government. A psych evaluation should be a requirement for any kind of profession paid for by the taxpayers."


Let me show you just one example (of multiple posted daily) of the narcissism of feds: "The vast majority of people out there lack the imagination and/or decency to view their work as anything beyond subsistence or a means for the accumulation of wealth.", they think they're better than you just because they work for the FedGov and get perks the average worker doesn't even know exist. The way they describe their work in government as some kind of a calling makes them sound outright cultish, TBH:
