Seems illegal to me. Maybe the obvious stench of graft will taint the intended manipulation.
Isn’t it amazing how large corporations will so easily go along with blatant violations of public trust? To Hell with the #ing cowards.
“Isn’t it amazing how large corporations will so easily go along with blatant violations of public trust?”
There’s a kind of group-think in large organizations. People in large organizations do things that they, as individuals, would never do. An example is the GM decision not to spend a dollar per car on the Corvaire to prevent rollovers because the estimated money saved exceeded the estimated money paid in lawsuits. People tend to do what they are rewarded for and they want the approval of those who grant their bonuses.
Having said that, if they had sent out 25k notices to the people they would lay off those 25k mostly wouldn’t vote for Obama. But now, the total 125k employees don’t know whether they’ll be included in the layoff so a greater number may vote against Obama. As another poster said, “backfire, bigtime!”

By making the announcement they informed the employees of the impending lay offs and saved themselves the cost of issuing the paper notices. The political results will likely be the same as if formal paper notices were issued.
It makes one wonder about waiving laws. It makes one wonder if laws protecting the President can just be waived?
