Should hold the line instead
- dekhn 2y agoThey can't- Musk is empowered to fire leaders of agencies that refuse to work with DOGE. It's comply or leave- and if you leave, they will just find a lackey who will comply.
- zfg 2y agoIt's better to be fired. That way no one can make excuses that they left willingly.
- GuestFAUniverse 2y agoThat sounds pretty entitled. Nobody will help them "hold the line". The damage to them personally would be immense. If you have a family, or any other responsibilities (like your own health and well-being) there's only one wise thing to do: leave. At the end, only surviving counts.
- zfg 2y agoThey're resigning at the point they would be fired anyway. It's not entitlement, it's doing the right thing for as long as you can.
- ty6853 2y agoI know in the private sector if fired you can pretty much lie if ever asked and odds are no one will find out. Probably different for government jobs. They will know if you've been fired from a government job. And once you are institutionalized as a beauracrat it can be hard to work elsewhere. You would basically be restarting your career from scratch.
- zfg 2y agoAnd if they know, so what? The mere fact of being fired for doing the right thing will wreck your life?
- Joker_vD 2y agoHonestly, the very idea of a part of the executive branch dedicated to auditing the other parts and departments of the executive branch is just preposterous. We have Congress comittees for that, thank you very much.
- nielsbot 2y agohe isn’t actually empowered tho?
- dekhn 2y agopractically speaking, yes? Because it looks like he's done that several times now, and the US Marshalls (and the President) are backing him up.
