Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Maybe next time one of these losers decide to off themselves they'll take their bosses down with them.

[–] isleepinahammock@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 minutes ago

Where's the article?

[–] DudleyMason@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 minutes ago

Yep, ya love to see it!

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Trump betrays everyone who trusts him, even his wife and kids.

This move is right out of the Trump business playbook. He's been not paying workers and committing fraud against contractors his entire adult life. Avoiding the payout was the plan from day 1 when the bonus was offered--I'm betting Trump himself recommended this outcome. Fuck ICE. I hope every agent experiences bankruptcy and hardship. They ruined their lives to serve a child-rapist.

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 50 points 4 hours ago

I think I speak for all of us when I say,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA

[–] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 28 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I take two things from this:

  1. The guys they are attracting are so incompetent that they can't make it through their probation period.
  2. They either are generally incompetent, or not savage enough. One of these is funny, and one of these is deeply concerning.

the cynic in me thinks it's more just that they have impossible quotas. since many of them are coming in with the idea that the country is bursting with illegals, they think they will reach those numbers easily but then find that no, actually like we've been telling you, they're mostly here legally. So they fail to make their numbers, are marked as poor performers and wash out. The smart ones would have put that signing bonus into a HYSA but I doubt their that clever.

Could be a neat way to wash away student loans. Use the 50K to pay off student debt, Fail on purpose, declare bankruptcy to dismiss the signing bonus debt.

Anyway, I don't think it has to do with their conduct or competency they got played using the old MLM scheme. can't deport illegals when all the illegals and even questionable have already been deported. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes as they like to say.

edit:

Don't get me wrong they're def pieces of shit, but a piece of shit with a major quota can be extra shitty because of stress. Like starving and beating a street dog. It's already prone to biting. you just made it snap faster.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 36 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Secret third thing: they never intended to keep them in the first place, and it was a scam the whole time. I doubt 1 or 2 are even plausible.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 22 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

It's not a secret third thing.

As soon as we heard that the signing bonus was related to a probationary period, everyone who knows anything about how Trump does business said, "Nobody is getting that bonus."

It's extra shitty if they paid it out up front and now the employees have to pay it back, but none of this comes as a surprise.

This is a single instance posted with little to no detail in a thread that loves to promote any kind of rumor of a reactionary experiencing hardship.

So, consider taking it with a boulder of salt.

No source. No supporting details. It's just Lefty Forward From Grandma as far as I'm concerned.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 42 minutes ago

It would be shitty if it happened to nurses or firemen or something. This is fucking hilarious.

[–] mofongo@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 hours ago

Iirc, it was a taxable 10K per year for 5 years. If they were let go, they had to pay back the full, untaxed amount.

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's extra shitty if they paid it out up front

It does, in fact, seem like that's the case

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It's only the case because Trump is using taxpayer money and not from his pocket. If he had to personally pay the signing bonus they wouldn't get one even if it was promised. If Elon wanted DOGE to actually do it's job they would impeach Trump.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 hours ago

Everything they do is a scam, so this tracks

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Not only do these idiots get what they deserve, but it's also hilarious that Trump is scamming and turning his most hardcore supporters against him

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 29 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They'll still be voting for whatever republican is on the ballot

Because they're stupid

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

They are single issue voters, oh sorry you already said stupid.

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 hours ago

I doubt they're against him. Somehow its Bidens fault or Obamas fault or Canadas fault

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 hours ago

Cool. Now make like a good Nazi by taking after your role model and painting the ceiling red. Fucking traitors.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

LOLOLOL! F-them and they should have known better. MAGA will screw you.

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Best thing I read all day!

[–] Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

They fucked themselves so hard. Yeah anyone can figure out free money with terms is basically a loan. They fuckin' did it to themselves though.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 125 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

This is objectively funny.

Fuck every single one of them. I hope they are financially crippled from this and learn something important about trusting authoritarians.

[–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think that's how these people are wired.

They're conditioned to blame others for their problems. They will just blame harder.

[–] Akuchimoya@startrek.website 5 points 1 hour ago

I can't wait to find out how they will blame the woke left for this very thing they were warned about.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 75 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's even funnier. The bonus was taxable, they paid not a little bit of it to tax right away. They don't get that refunded but they do still have to repay the 50K in full.

In other words, trying to be a racist pieces of shit professionally was very expensive. As it should be.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 24 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Guess who those taxes are going to. This keeps getting funnier the more I think about it.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Guess who the tariffs went to. This is extortion

[–] ulkesh@piefed.social 6 points 4 hours ago

Boo fucking hoo, you Nazi pricks.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 3 points 3 hours ago

Now that's some good fucking news. Get fucked

[–] Caption_Mo@reddthat.com 8 points 4 hours ago

Put some ice on it.

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 17 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

If you're in the market for a used pickup, I bet you will have a lot of options real soon.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

Probably has enough drugs spilled onto the seats to set off every ATF dog in a 50 mile radius :D

Tf you gotta do to get fired from ICE? Show compassion?

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 27 points 5 hours ago

Nothing, the signing bonus was just bait for gullible MAGA people
