    “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

      Doge charges in places and gets hundreds of thousands of government employees fired. Retribution only makes sense.

    Others worry that if Trump distances himself from DOGE, their ties to it could become a professional liability, said sources.

    Oh you sweet summer child. It was always going to be a professional liability

      And rightly so. If we ever get back to some semblance of normalcy, anyone who bent the knee should be blackballed from government work.

    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.

    I hope they understand that they are in the blackest blacklist IT has ever seen. Fucking radioactive.

    Feeling worried isn’t karma. That would require actually facing consequences.

      Still fucking around, they are just worried about possibly finding out.
