Maybe next time one of these losers decide to off themselves they'll take their bosses down with them.
Leopards Ate My Face
Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- 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.
- 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.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- 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.

Where's the article?
Yep, ya love to see it!
Trump betrays everyone who trusts him, even his wife and kids.
Meh. Fuck 'em.

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.
I think I speak for all of us when I say,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA
HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA
I take two things from this:
- The guys they are attracting are so incompetent that they can't make it through their probation period.
- 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.
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.
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.
It would be shitty if it happened to nurses or firemen or something. This is fucking hilarious.
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.
It's extra shitty if they paid it out up front
It does, in fact, seem like that's the case
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.
Everything they do is a scam, so this tracks
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
They'll still be voting for whatever republican is on the ballot
Because they're stupid
They are single issue voters, oh sorry you already said stupid.
I doubt they're against him. Somehow its Bidens fault or Obamas fault or Canadas fault
Cool. Now make like a good Nazi by taking after your role model and painting the ceiling red. Fucking traitors.
LOLOLOL! F-them and they should have known better. MAGA will screw you.
Best thing I read all day!
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.

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.
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.
I can't wait to find out how they will blame the woke left for this very thing they were warned about.
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.
Guess who those taxes are going to. This keeps getting funnier the more I think about it.
Guess who the tariffs went to. This is extortion
Boo fucking hoo, you Nazi pricks.
Now that's some good fucking news. Get fucked
Put some ice on it.
If you're in the market for a used pickup, I bet you will have a lot of options real soon.
Probably has enough drugs spilled onto the seats to set off every ATF dog in a 50 mile radius :D

Came here looking for this, lmao
Tf you gotta do to get fired from ICE? Show compassion?
Nothing, the signing bonus was just bait for gullible MAGA people
"Oh no, would you look at that, you wore white socks after Labor Day. And just two days before you qualified for benefits, darn it"
Haha get fucked Nazi terrorist assholes.
