Summary
The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.
The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.
The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
Suddenly, it’s not so difficult to believe that he bankrupted a casino.
3 casinos, even! And he’s had 6 total corporate bankruptcies!
I can’t imagine anyone would want to come back after being abruptly fired from what was likely a long career requiring expertise and multiple security clearances, likely after a military career. To have all that just brushed away with the swipe of a hand like you’re entire life is fucking meaningless… I can’t imagine what that was like for those people. People that had been loyal to the machine for a lifetime.
And then this asshole has the balls to ask them to come back? Wow, just wow!
And then this asshole has the balls to ask them to come back? Wow, just wow!
He doesn’t even have the balls to do that. He’s asking their coworkers to do it for him.
Great time to negotiate a salary increase.
Though to be honest if you were working that job, I imagine you weren’t financially struggling.
Yeah, same thing happened when Musk fired a bunch of critical Twitter people.
It would be absolutely hilarious if the workers took this opportunity to unionize and negotiate getting their jobs back with higher pay and better benefits.
Or unionize as consultants, at double the pay, plus benefits.
I’m waiting to see the headline: “Fired NNSA employees can’t be found for reemployment because they moved to off-grid locations outside the blast-radius of all major centres”
Back in the day. If you did nuclear work for the government they would keeps tabs on you for some time. Maybe they fired those people too. Who knows.
