Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.

The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.

The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.

    I would be asking for a year of salary up front, in addition to my regular paycheck.

    Because there is no way in hell I would trust this jackal with my job security.

      We really back to throwing the r-slur around just because Nazi Musk tweeted it? This is like the 5th comment I’ve seen.

      Fucking grow a pair and do better.

        it would seem the world has moved on from that particular outrage. don’t worry, everyone knows how offended you are

        edit: not that i give a shit, but i just wanted to point out: if you’re going to go full blown SJW, “grow a pair” implies that people without a pair (i.e.: women) must be somehow inferior

    These guys are so cartoonishly bad at everything that they can’t even fire people right.

    This shit is the closest I’ve ever been to believing in god, because I’m desperately running out of other ways to explain how anyone this absolutely inept at everything could fail up so hard. If it’s not divine intervention then I don’t know what the fuck the world even is anymore.

        If there really is a god and afterlife first thing I’m doing is asking if they had any control over any of this.

        If they say yes I’m going to go primal and shit in my hand and throw it at them.

      The thing that’s done the most to restore some kind of faith in me, is the fact that stories of the antichrist include people who pretend they are good Christians following him. The closest I can come to Christ is if I call most “Christians” I hear “antichrist-ians”.

      it’s not because of them doing anything right, it’s because of their dumb chucklefuck worshippers lifting them up. because of dear great leader trump. once he’s finally fucking dead, they’ll scatter like cockroaches when the light comes on. everything will still be fucked, but at least there isn’t anyone else they’ve deified. yet

    Who could have predicted this? Surely not after Musk fired the entire super charger team and then had to hire them back?

    Didn’t he also fire anyone who was able to maintain Twitter and had to scramble for them back?

    No, definitely no pattern. Musk is the best man for the job
