… in a subreddit for listing available federal job positions.

Many are upset about this and start arguing in the comments.

There's a literal fricking hiring freeze, what do you want from us?

To follow the rules and not try to start some uprising here?

What federal hiring process? No one is getting hired right now, and also, who would even want to join the government at this point? You'd have to be desperate or stupid to hop on a sinking ship…

People are still getting hired. Jobs are still being posted on USAJobs. So go on, delete your comment or edit it to admit you didn't think before commenting.

I did think before commenting and stand by my comment that anyone thinking of joining the federal government in this moment is either stupid or desperate.

Even if you do get hired, everyone received the mass "please resign!" emails and I doubt that trend will end any time soon. And if you get hired, you're likely probationary which is an awful spot to be in. No one's job is special or safe or can't be done by a Musk crony according to this administration.

I mean, if you're already trapped in fed gov, do you. But now seems like an especially bad time to hop around because what boss is going to bat for a new employee?

Plenty of people want to join. There are still posts on this very subreddit of people looking for advice, showing their TJO and FJO. You want to call them stupid or desperate? Fine, but don't try to subvert the reason for the subreddit existing. So both your points, that no one is getting hired and no one wants to work for the administration are rendered null by the facts.

Yeah, good luck to them 👍 I truly hope it works out.

Amen. My heart goes out to you mods, I can't even imagine how busy you guys have been sifting through the extra 100K new bots and their nonsense.

If anyone wants to really visualize why this is necessary then everyone's history is accessible.

ALL (no exceptions as of 43 comments) who want non-stop rage bait politics here have never before set foot in this sub prior to the EOs.

ALL who don't like off-topic nonsense and support the mods, hammered with downmarseys, are top contributors who've been helping the sub for months/years.

We are being brigaded by trolls and bots, the only people who can possibly abide are the trolls and bots.

Do remember there are a lot of feds who have created burner accounts in order to participate without issue. Does make it much harder to tell who has been here before and who is a bot or troll.

New accounts would support that possibility, but none of them are new - all long term /r/politics users never here before.

Plus burner or not wouldn't change the fact that it is off-topic on this sub.

Did Elon post this?

Removing posts about what is going on only serves the interests of the new administration. Reddit should be a safe space for people to converse about their reality as a fed, or anyone affected by these EOs. We should be kept aware as the general public so we know how to help and join the conversation. Silencing the voices of people who are worried or unaware of the situation is how we got here and how we make it worse—not better. The teaching and nursing subreddits almost never ban ANYTHING. Why? Because everything is relevant in their public facing jobs, everything reaches them one way or another, the feds are no different. Shutting down the conversation is wrong and leads to/is fascism. Stop upholding arbitrary "rules" that support it.

Post them to /r/fednews where they belong.

It doesn't even belong there, but rprz and the other mods are terminally chronically online reddit jannies who are ignoring rule #5 of their subreddit.

Rule 5 there states no politics, but you can discuss current policies. So discussion of the Fork in The Road, the other HR(at)opm.gov emails, the RTO memos, and notices to probationary employees should all be valid.

Given that our work has been politicized to a higher degree than at any point in the past, I don't think the Mods are violating their rules.

If that's what were happening I'd agree with you. However the 100,000x fold YoY increase in the usage of the words "Nazi", "Fascist", and "regime" to describe our democratically elected government suggest to me that reasoned discussion of government policies is not primarily what's going on. When subredditors describe what they're doing as "doomscrolling" that word seems to have a negative connotation, in my mind. When "Solidarity from Moldova" type posts are upmarseyd to the top of the subreddit, that doesn't feel like a well-considered policy analysis by an informed stakeholder.

Enjoy a dead Reddit for a while, then.

Amazingly we existed just fine from the dawn of Reddit until a couple weeks ago when the bots invaded. We chugged along even without an off-topic chicken little post every 5 minutes.

That's funny, you're going to chug along with what job postings?

Yeah, thanks.

That's part of the problem. This can't exist in a vacuum. Everything that impacts hiring needs to discussed.

Feel free to post anything pertaining to the federal application process (e.g. questions, concerns, suggestions, tips, experiences, etc.).

The day one purpose and rule 1 of this sub.

What about the application process has changed due to the EOs? Go ahead, I'll wait.

Nothing? Correct.

Fednews (and THOUSANDS of others) exists, until an EO fundamentally changes the application process it doesn't belong here.

You're extremely pressed.

Uh, no. I think—like many of us—he's just getting tired of the 24/7 complain fest that this sub has devolved into. Go complain to your family and friends. Some of us come here for useful information—not to read people's diaries.

Not much federal hiring practice activity going on right now…

checks usajobs, sees plenty of jobs posted

Gaslamping doesn't work when people have reality right in front of them...

They're not "gaslamping"

They said "not much" is going on right now which is very true. Just because there is some still happening doesn't mean that the majority of possible positions are under a hiring freeze

Thank you. The person accusing gaslamping is literally gaslamping lol

also that , comma

"having problems with lust can be an issue if yoy make it one. The spirits inside you, the angels, the demons, are fighting inside you when you are at strife. So when the fight is inside you and you freak out, nobody else can see YOUR angels fighting YOUR demons. So switching from BBBW/BBC to Bi Asians will imply that you insist the idea behind an incubus/succubus. Each controls your spirit and there sre many. You can allow and be with the incubus/succubus of Bi Asians rather than the BBBW/BBC. Same goes with any spirit inside you that inhabits you and you allowed to grow from mind and spirit connection, the seeds of thought that is the garden of your mind that you visit oft, tending and not even know the grabbing feeling of inside your body is the connection of spirit and you are not reality but projecting inside reality. People speak of a simulation but they are not schizophrenic enough to explain it in theory rather than just trying to throw buzz words like SIGMA or BRICKED to click bait your attention for part two of their saturated shit series like wtf am i clicking your clickbait click baiting broke fuqq. Get a job!" - or so they said to me..

So I make breastmilk and memorial jewelry and there's a big company in China that manufactures the jewelry. There's actually even a really big well known brand that's I've seen that uses their jewelry and lots of smaller businesses do too. I've looked and looked and LOOKED to find something else but there's nothing like them.

My husband is a Trump guy even though he says he doesn't like him. We've had discussions about the tariffs and he's saying that it's corrective to bring jobs back to the US.

Well I was just talking to the owner that manufactures the jewelry and he told me that they might have to shut down because they basically sell at wholesale and barely make a profit and DHL and UPS are charging more for the headache of the tariffs. He's not sure if they will have to pay or the buyers will have to. I'm hoping a praying that it's us as the buyer.

So I told my husband this and he was like, "well, it's just the market correcting itself." I was like, "you're not even a little mad that my business might be affected?!" Idk what he said but he was laughing and I blew up in his face.

I told him that he doesn't care enough about anyone but himself. He doesn't care about women's rights, lgbtq+ rights, immigrants, not my business, nothing.

Now I locked myself in my bathroom and I'm crying. He keeps trying to talk to me but I won't talk to him. Talk me down man.

The movie starts off where this white trash redneck effortlessly steals chad's gf in a dangerous street race

So he goes to Japan where a real challenge awaits, stealing ricechad's gf

She immediately is into him, she shows no loyalty to ricechad

So he wins some gay car race and steals her

— Drake Charts ⁶𓅓 (@DrakeChart) February 12, 2025

While every month is black history month, this month is special due to the fact all chuds have to legally abide by the government's set status. This month is dedicated to... DRAKE! Aubrey "Drizzy" Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) is a Canadian rapper, singer, and actor. As a figure in popular music, he has been credited with popularizing R&B sensibilities in hip-hop artists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(musician)

Now... why is this month dedicated to Drake?

• Super Bowl

Kendrick Lamar performed at the Super Bowl. Now you might be asking why he's included as a reason. Drake basically put this guy on the spot, prior to this Kendrick was famous in rap spaces while Drake was a name everyone knew. When Kendrick Lamar initially dissed Drake, it led to a whole snowball effect that eventually led to hit song "Not Like Us" dropping. Full timeline if you're wondering about the history of this beef: https://www.vulture.com/article/drake-kendrick-lamar-feud-explained.html Not Like Us is a diss dedicated directly at Drake, and it's his most famous song. It revolves back around to the same debate about if Kanye put Taytay on the map. Kendrick got awarded a multitude of grammies for this false mediocre song all because of Drake, Kendrick was appointed to play at the Super Bowl because of Drake, and while performing at the grammies AND the Super Bowl he still sang the song about Drake. Everything about this guy revolves around Drake.

Related lyric/song:

• Grammies

Mostly explained in the previous paragraph.

• New Album

Drake is about to drop a collab album with famous rapper Partynextdoor. I'm guessing most of the tracks are gonna be love songs and maybe two will be rapping. The linked tweet gives a full rundown on how to celebrate black history month with Drake.

• Beautiful Music

Drake has a very nice discography, with hits ranging from Passionfruit to Jimmy Cooks he's very diverse in the areas that a black person can properly sing in. You could probably find a Drake song for any occasion. Some of my personal favorites (it should be very easy to see his diverse discography with these picks):

• Pioneer in black culture

Kendrick reversed hundreds of years worth of black activism in one 30 minute show. If Drake was on that stage, we would've somehow gotten Obama a 3rd term. Since Drake also has some jewish heritage, he's loved by many in jewish communities. Around my very southern part of town, the stores usually play only white songs and the occasional Drake song. I've heard Drake referred to as "one of the good ones" before. All in all, the people love this guy.

I have themed my profile accordingly. Have a nice night and remember to support real black artists (not fakers like Kendrick LAMEar).
