Someone tried to log in to do something bad, and now they’re complaining about being locked out.
Kinda like how Vindman screamed about how hard it was for him to try and insert falsified info into the record.

This is SOP for any exiting employee.

Sounds like there are exits in these employees’ futures.

This the same OPM that was previously suffered a major hack by the CCP?

Either that or some evidence was found of changing names/roles in an effort to hide DEI individuals and this is a way to put a stop to all that and make sure records are preserved.

I worked for Gateway computers . When they decided to close our location down, all employees were mustered up in a meeting room. While all that was going on, they disabled the computer network and they also disabled our badges .

Sop , that was 20+ years ago.

I remember Gateway from the Computer Shopper days, back when getting a PC was an adventure.

Didn’t they come in boxes camouflaged with cow spots?

There were 2 OPM hacks. One was with people who were Federal and Military, the second was just Federal service. The assumption is that China has extensive files on Military and Federal employes from these hacks.

Yep, same OPM. They should be forced to back away from the computers before someone gets hurt.

Yes, they did. They provided those boxes to put our stuff in.

They also reminded us that we were on camera and any theft or vandalism would be prosecuted.

They had a formula where you were paid out a certain amount based on your time with the company. I had been there less than a year , it was 3 months pay for me I think.

Probably want to prevent little baddies from changing the job titles of employees working DEI positions.

It certainly is. It can be brutal. I worked for a company bought by another company and the first indication we had of who was staying and who was going was who could still log in one morning. Unbelievably awkward for both.

Yeh, they got locked out so they couldn’t sabotage anything.

Excellent news. Probably half or more of those weepers were completely useless in terms of achieving the mission of the agency.

Well if they can’t access the computers I guess we don’t need them anymore. Hey, they can learn to code. teehee
I wonder if illegals could do their jobs cheaper.

I worked for a tech company in Atlanta during the Dot Com bust. We were all called to a 4 PM Friday meeting. The company was shutting down. We were not aloud to get our personal items at that time. Arrangements could be made much later. Every person was escorted to the door by a Sheriff’s Deputy and told to leave the premises immediately.
