@Beggarmidas You don’t understand any of the labor law or context around this, including things carefully explained in the post.
Which, whatever, people don’t read. But launching into a zero-context, high-certainty tirade about what a specific federal worker should have done differently based on your entirely imaginary scenario is deeply unhelpful, not to mention rude.
@kissane @Beggarmidas TBH, as an outside observer on this, I think that you're just taking the first thing that this midas character said and took that as being the entirety of what he said. I'm not brigading here, but I can understand his point/opinion.
Anyway, how I interpreted that first statement was to say that ~ "quitting the job as a point of principle is a bad choice." I don't agree with that, but maybe you two can hash things out better...
@kissane @Beggarmidas or, you know, maybe the guy is an asshole. I don't know... I've just stumbled onto your post (which I boosted, because I think it deserves a boost) and the conversation/commentary (which, frankly, I think is less than edifying).
@nihongomaamaa I decided to just block the dude for both our sakes. I just don’t have the energy at this point for people who come in so hot and certain, even if they sorta-kinda walk it back later.
@kissane that's your prerogative.
@kissane @nihongomaamaa Jesus, this place sucks. You blocked the guy supporting you?
@Dss @nihongomaamaa I blocked the guy who came in stating that my friend was making a stupid decision, having not even read the post about the decision and having no sense of the legal/labor situation, and then continued to rant in my replies about how only he understands the direness etc. I’m a person, not a social service.
Military types who "know what needs to be done" are the last thing the US need against tech bro types who "know what needs to be done"...
