Why is this "If we ever find out you worked for DOGE, this is reason for immediate termination of your contract and will allow us to reclaw all payments we ever did to you." in the contract?
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.
If asked "what is this 5 month gap in your CV", they'll have better odds of landing the job by claiming they were in Jail than by admitting they were working for DOGE.
"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
The guy who started bringing one of his young children around as a human shield after the United Healthcare CEO got murdered isn't going to care about the fate of mere minions.
Is it weird that I feel somewhat relieved that it happened so fast? I was expecting consequences to take a few years to happen, but we didn't even get to the 6-month mark. I guess karma is working overtime right now.
I know a large part of his doge dogs are independently rich. They were selected based on being lucky enough to be given daddy's ceo job first, then dumb enough to listen to him next. You know the type.
"If you fire me I will release..." looks at data for a bit, cherry picking some juicy morsels, decides on "...this!". So I think Elon's techno-thugs should be safe for a while longer.
