"Some DOGE staffers [...] fear that [this shitstorm] could leave them vulnerable to political retribution and damage their future job prospects"
I wanted to make a sarcastic comment about how so many of them are super young, and so this must sting especially. However, I couldn't figure out a way to say this in a sufficiently mocking tone. Fuck 'em
Zero job prospects. They are basically the SS. No one will ever employ them.
Cops will.
I think you underestimate the number of psychopaths in private industry.
Gonna be kicked in the big balls?
That’s not even remotely close to facing karma for what they have done
Was looking for someone to point this out. DOGE cuts will be tied to the explanation of thousands of otherwise avoidable deaths
"So, what is this 5 month gap in your CV"
"Well, I was working for DOGE"
"Right, I think we know enough and can end this job interview. Thank you for your time. Don't call us, we'll call you".
"That's when I was kicking the foundations out from under the country while working for a ketamine addict"
Don't you worry about them, daddy's got a nother job lined up for them already.
The guy who started bringing one of his young children around as a human shield after the United Healthcare CEO got murdered isn't going to care about the fate of mere minions.
Yeah, their actual fathers are what I'm talking about?! Not Daddy Elon, that's frickin gross.
i was told that other people would be targets, not me!
Doge employees
Musk, for his part, downplayed the idea that DOGE needed him to survive as he left the Trump administration last week.
"DOGE is a way of life, like Buddhism," he said. "You wouldn't ask the question, 'Who would lead Buddhism?'"
Grandiose much?
Marvelous. Couldn’t happen to a better group of assholes.
"Zoomer face is a little bit lean, but hey, a leopard's gotta eat!"
Still won’t buy his cars. I haven’t forgotten how we got here in the first place.
So they are moving from the "fuck around" to the "find out" stage.
Is it weird that I feel somewhat relieved that it happened so fast? I was expecting consequences to take a few years to happen, but we didn't even get to the 6-month mark. I guess karma is working overtime right now.
I know a large part of his doge dogs are independently rich. They were selected based on being lucky enough to be given daddy's ceo job first, then dumb enough to listen to him next. You know the type.
I'm certain Elon will look after his young protégés, right? Surely the richest man in the world wouldn't leave them all out to dry?
"If you fire me I will release..." looks at data for a bit, cherry picking some juicy morsels, decides on "...this!". So I think Elon's techno-thugs should be safe for a while longer.
Others worry that if Trump distances himself from DOGE, their ties to it could become a professional liability, said sources.
Oh you sweet summer child. It was always going to be a professional liability
And rightly so. If we ever get back to some semblance of normalcy, anyone who bent the knee should be blackballed from government work.
And private sector work. Oh yeah, NGO work too.
I hope they understand that they are in the blackest blacklist IT has ever seen. Fucking radioactive.
Why is this "If we ever find out you worked for DOGE, this is reason for immediate termination of your contract and will allow us to reclaw all payments we ever did to you." in the contract?
Yup, I’d never hire anyone I ever got a whiff was involved with this.
There will always be someone ready to take a stupid risk.
He's finally hurting the right people!
Oh for... It's been like a few months, just leave DOGE off your resumes and come up with something to explain the gap! If you were notorious enough to be recognized by name as a DOGE staffer then just go job hunting in the red states or set up somewhere where nobody cares. There's plenty of tech bro nonsense firms that will take them...The softest brush with anything resembling consequences has this lot screaming and while I understand folk love hearing it their entitled assholery is grating as hell.
If asked "what is this 5 month gap in your CV", they'll have better odds of landing the job by claiming they were in Jail than by admitting they were working for DOGE.
I don't think kids realize that
Feeling worried isn't karma. That would require actually facing consequences.
What are your bootstraps made of, overcooked spaghetti?! Pull ‘em harder, snowflakes!
Doge charges in places and gets hundreds of thousands of government employees fired. Retribution only makes sense.
Are we finding out or still fucking around?
Still fucking around, they are just worried about possibly finding out.
Time to pull those bootstraps!
Yeah... No they aren't.
News flash: it does
