Muriel Bowser, the DC mayor, has been complaining for 2-3 years how downtown DC is devoid of Federal workers. Who are needed to keep DC restaurants and retail shops in business.
Bowser has been mayor since 2015. She is allegedly “married” to Donna Brazile
During work hours when she is being paid by the taxpayers? If so it will be hard to keep that up with her supervisor standing right there.
“sitting in traffic is such a huge waste of time”
Section 8 can be phased out within 30 miles of the White House.
Not crying for her at all.
If people rely on social media “influencers” for any decision, they deserve the nuts they get like this poor “must-go-back-to-work” federal employee.
The rise of social media “influencers” demonstrates the rise of the weak mentalitie that social media can create. Someone whose mind is working properly does not know nor care about social media “influencers”.
Unless they are already working a plan to go straight to disability, the vast majority will show up. They will take sick days, they will cry and moan, but when threatened with losing their job, they will be there.
If I had a DC area AirBnB, i would have my rate doubled by now.
Also, what a proud and mature civil servant to lash out at her boss, the President of the United States, publicly on Tiktok (which would be impossible without his intervention), calling him "Cheeto".
Don’t worry Honey. AI will take that job away then you can stay home full time.
He gave them til March to report back to the office! He should make them go back IMMEDIATELY!!
You all have no idea of the melt downs from the entitled gravy train passengers known as FedGov workers. The posted mantra is being repeated all day long in DC. The Derp State must have sent out a script for all if them to follow. These people have been taken care of by the tax payers fir most if their fault lived and do NOT know how to take care of themselves on their own. I keep hearing about how there will be many suicides (I hope not) and how mean Trump is and MAD they are at him.
Some of us relay what life us like in the private sector with pretty much zero job security and lousy benefits. When told these stories they are shocked (because they are babied and pampered in gov). Welcome to the real world, brats.
Some have moved out of the beltway region, though. It’s going to be tough to commute to the swamp from Florida or Nashville but I guess some will try.
“Bowser has been mayor since 2015. She is allegedly “married” to Donna Brazile.”
That mental image will keep you up at night.
Not in the govt. The supervisor will probably be doing it too.
One wonders a couple of things. First, a good investigative journalist might take a look at this TikTok Influencer’s posts, particularly at the TIMES posted, and see whether it was on ‘government time’ or not. Secondly, she certainly is decked out in terms of make up, jewelry and finger nails. Did she take government time to go out for the beauty prep?
IMO, she’s pissed she lost her cool work-from-home gig because it would interfere with her real job - TikTok “Influencing.”
That’s the vibe I was getting too.
The heart of all this is these people feel entitled to these government “jobs” with all their flexibility, benefits, job security, and pampering. Reality is hitting these spoiled brats in the best possible way.
I think she should quit. Working 5 days per week is stressful and it appears she is stressed out.
Disagree. Most managers don’t understand the entire process of their employees’ work-to-product timeline (i.e, don’t understand the actual work required.)
The reason for all this kickback is primarily because it’s less actual work required to keep the job.
Yep. Double dipping but we, the taxpayers, are getting the shaft.
She should quit. It it looks like work is a bit too stressful for the ‘poor thing’.
Like someone said in this thread, the United States is unique in that we can move up and down the socio-economic ladder. We have choices - whether to get another job, retire, quit and move, whatever.
