The Forking Rant: A Civil Servants Fury
Buckle up, because I’m pissed.
If you voted for π and still can’t see how royally you fucked everyone, I have no use for you. I will hurt your feelings. I don’t have to be nice to someone who supports that jackass and his minion, Elmo two corrupt, incompetent assholes who are actively and illegally trying to gut the careers of people who have dedicated their lives to public service.
We don’t do this job for the money trust me, we don’t get paid nearly what we could in the private sector. We do it because we give a damn about this country and the people in it. And now, these motherfuckers want to tell us that we should leave our so-called low-productivity government jobs to go work for the oh-so-efficient private sector? Fuck right off.
Dennis and I have called every elected official we could. Total waste of time. One of the aides had the audacity to tell me they’re re just trying to make the government run more like private industry. Oh really? I reminded him that the work we do is the kind of work private industry wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole and the stuff they would take on would create such a catastrophic national security crisis that 9/11 would look like a fucking trial run. His response? More bullshit talking points. I let him know that talking to someone who puts party over people is a lost cause. He can go ahead and live his privileged little life, where he never has to worry about bleeding out in a hospital because some dipshit politician cares more about egg prices than human lives. Spoiler alert, they don’t care about that either.
And lets talk about that goddamn fork email. They can bend over, and I’ll be more than happy to show them exactly where to stick that fucking fork. I was deep in a Reddit thread about federal workforce news (I’ve mostly stepped back for the sake of my sanity), and what I read made my blood boil. Thousands of feds have already been fired illegally with plans to purge thousands more. This isn’t some Twitter layoff; this is firing the people who literally run the nuclear program. But wait it gets better! These dumbass motherfuckers deleted all their contact information, so they can’t even find the people they fired to offer them their jobs back because they didn’t have a clue WHO they were firing. And the people who took the bribe? They are getting fired so Elmo and πare showing their true nature, lying and reneging on paying people. Who could have seen that coming π
And so far, DoD has been left alone. So far. But it’s only a matter of time. Since I work a niche job in natural resources, I might as well start packing my desk now.
So yeah, I’m angry. I’m disgusted. And if you still don’t see the problem, then you are the problem.


I've been having a PM chat with an ex-colleague from DoD that I worked with when I was GS. The thing I don't get is why, at least from where I'm sitting, I don't hear about anybody in Congress shouting about how illegal DOGE, President Musk and that many of those executive orders are. I'll occasionally read something about someone in Congress saying something but it's awfully quiet. With the Republicans running both houses I don't expect much of substance to happen other than noise making but the damage is real and will be difficult to unwind even if it stopped. Read this morning that they just fired a bunch of FAA folks. This after the mid-air at Washington National 3 weeks ago. WTF? What is the end game here? Oh and now SpaceX is going to consult with FAA to improve the U.S. airspace system. Isn't that a conflict of interest?
ReplyDeleteAs for me, Europcar offered me a Tesla Swasticar as a rental last week and I said "oh hell no". TBH I would've said no a year ago because my dislike of President Musk isn't recent. Felonious Don is an idiot but Musk is not so I wonder what his real aim is with all of this DOGE bullshit. On the up side, if Tesla stock takes a big enough hit (I hope, I hope, I hope) he would be forced to sell some of the 13% he owns to cover his debts (he's actually highly leveraged and used his Tesla stock as collateral). That and the board could actually fire his ass.
Was thinking about the fork thing and my response would be very "New York" like ... "I got your f-ing fork right heah!" π
ReplyDeleteI always say it to cabinet battle from Hamilton “turn around, bend over, I’ll show you where the fork fits
DeleteFuck them all.
ReplyDeleteFUBAR and BOHICA come to mind. Ah, the good old days when I worked for DoD.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up to the rant!
