"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

Gonna be kicked in the big balls?

Zero job prospects. They are basically the SS. No one will ever employ them.

What are your bootstraps made of, overcooked spaghetti?! Pull ‘em harder, snowflakes!

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours ago

Doge charges in places and gets hundreds of thousands of government employees fired. Retribution only makes sense.

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.

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.

I don't think kids realize that

I hope they understand that they are in the blackest blacklist IT has ever seen. Fucking radioactive.

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!

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.zip 14 points 11 hours ago

Time to pull those bootstraps!

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 50 points 14 hours ago

Feeling worried isn't karma. That would require actually facing consequences.

[–] elvith@feddit.org 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Are we finding out or still fucking around?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Still fucking around, they are just worried about possibly finding out.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Yeah... No they aren't.
