As Boy & Girl Scouts we were taught mapreading and awareness of our surroundings. If you joined the Army, you relied on this training: defconbunkers.com/wp-content/u...

There are some more accurate descriptions - federal employees fired without cause. Federal employees fired illegally. Federal employees forced either to move or be fired. Federal employees fired during sick leave. Federal employees illegally suspended and fired. 'Exodus' doesn't really cover it.

Best advice? Dont do that again. Enjoy where you are without needing - AT ALL - to repeat what is over and done. Madelines are over-rated. As in making bread, past experiences may inform a success - but they're gone. Gotta go - there's 3/4lb of 85% ground beef that needs turning into a meatloaf.

I just keep expecting my teensy-tiny Federal annuity to be stopped on charges that all that sort of thing constitutes waste, fraud and/or abuse - because some DOGE muskrat ran a database query using the terms 'annuity' + 'unearned'.

Just a selection of threats that have been made at various times, primarily to create new and lucrative markets for some business entity. Even the threat that if your child is not toilet-trained according to a specific timetable, you as a parent will be a failure and left behind.

Remembering when there was an epidemic of assaults at UC Davis. The students complained loudly to the CA Assembly. Jesse Unruh sent police officers to train students how to use things like keys to disable attackers. Students vote.

'If you don't store your data on the cloud you'll be left behind.' 'If you don't use spreadsheet pgms you'll be left behind.' 'If you don't use "Word" you'll be left behind'. 'If you don't toilet train your child by one year old, your child will be left behind'. So many threats, so little time.

It's since March 2025 - it is not in fact following OPM rules or regulations but rather a perceived DOGE imposition of a briefly accepted norm. The hiring system has been blasted apart. There are no more 'hiring panels'.

Amusingly, I was once employed by a chap who was unable to keep his computer records intact - and as a PhD in Philosophy was the chief consultant to the entire 'Univ of Phoenix' education methodology. (I was only there for the $ - they used my degree to support their certification.)

So, the Dept of 'Justice' is recruiting for a GS14 0170 Historian. This is the 'assessment' - note it explicitly excludes any kind of AI involvement. It also improperly applies veterans preference as a qualifying element. DOGE did such a good job! apply.usastaffing.gov/ViewQuestion...
