https://old.reddit.com/r/IRS/comments/1ippxle/us_irs_prepares_to_lay_off_thousands_of_workers/
WASHINGTON (AP) — The IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season, according to two sources familiar with the agency's plans, and cuts could happen as soon as next week.
This comes as the Trump administration intensified sweeping efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce, by ordering agencies to lay off nearly all probationary employees who had not yet gained civil service protection.
It's unclear how many IRS workers will be affected.
Previously, the administration announced a plan to offer buyouts to almost all federal employees through a "deferred resignation program" to quickly reduce the government workforce. The program deadline was Feb. 6, and administration officials said employees who accept will be able to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until Sept. 30.
However, IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season were told they will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until after the taxpayer filing deadline, according to a letter sent recently to IRS employees.
It is unclear how many workers will be impacted by the layoff announcement plan. Representatives from the U.S. Treasury and IRS did not respond to Associated Press requests for comment.
Jan. 27 was the official start date of the 2025 tax season, and the IRS expects more than 140 million tax returns to be filed by the April 15 deadline. The Biden administration invested heavily in the IRS through an $80 billion infusion of funds in Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act, which included plans to hire tens of thousands of new employees to help with customer service and enforcement as well as new technology to update the tax collection agency.
Republicans have been successful at clawing back that money, and billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency have called for the U.S. to "delete entire agencies" from the federal government as part of his to radically cut spending and restructure its priorities.
Elected officials are trying to fight against DOGE plans. Attorneys general from 14 states challenged the authority of to access sensitive government data and exercise "virtually unchecked power" in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, says the actions taken by Musk at the helm of DOGE can only be taken by a nominated and Senate-confirmed official. It cites constitutional provisions that delineate the powers of Congress and the president.

I'm in a full-on panic. Today being Memorial Day, the first after several losses, I went with my family to the cemetery. In my emotional state, I stupidly forgot a mask. It isn't very crowded, luckily, and there's a slight breeze. But about 100 feet away, maybe 2-3 car lengths? I don't know I'm awful measuring distance. I hear a woman cough several times. She's downwind from me, and She proceeds to walk past our cars on the opposite side of us, which looked about 50-75 feet away, again I'm awful with measurements and I'm barely breathing from panic. That's as close as she got. Am I fricked? I'm so fricking scared
My favorite comment on the post:
Many people are coughing lately, it's the new normal! Outdoors is safer than indoors.
I found OP's YouTube channel and uhh

But MCU isn't kino
I agree
Let's all celebrate that these movies are dying out with a whimper. Not even a year's break from capeshit could bring general audiences back to this one (Deadpool did well but I think that and Spider-Man are really their own brands in the eyes of normies)
So what's everyone watching this week? !kino !hatewatchers !bobmob
EFFORTPOST
Since literally no one cares enough to make a thread about this, Concord, AKA ResetEra: the Game, possibly one of the biggest financial flops in media history, and the peak of the corporate genderslop religion that has plagued Western media for the past decade, had a peak of 697 players, lower than Suicide Squad, Redfall, LOTR Gollum, games from 30 years ago, shitty indie hentai games, bear in mind that Sony spent 300 MILLION USD and 8 YEARS on this slopcore masterpiece!

Not kidding: I was reading about this game on various websites but.... this is all so fricking boring, dull, soulless.... just repugnant to look at, to the extent that I even got bored of the meta-drama surrounding it, and got distracted by other topics, so the threads and stuff that I am about to link here are already inactive because of this.
Either way, this game looks ugly, talks ugly, smells ugly, sjws pwned ebic style wokes on suicide watch total chud victory yadda yadda blah blah I do not even have the energy or enthusiasm to explain this shit, even redditors are pooping on the game and the trend of intentionally ugly character designs in Western games, but religiously proclaim "not to offend certain people, but...." first in order to not be excommunicated as a heretic.
Sony deserves a prize for making something so uninteresting that even its critics are getting bored of criticizing it!, it is bad even from a "so bad its good" or "play it ironically" perspectives, even /r/GamingCirclejerk is finding it difficult to defend something that everyone except r-slurs on ResetEra liked, the image in the OP is the only meme fanart that I was able to find, but other than that, there is nothing of a community for this game, no fanart, no memes, no soyjaks, just nothing special.
Random images and memes blah blah:
Here is your team of badass and sexy heroes, what happens when you put ResetEra r-slurs in corporate positions:
R-slurred dev and pisses off even fellow r-slurs who are being sympathetic towards zxim:

GamingCirclejerk begins turbocope mode, they now agree that the game is utter dogshit, but not for the reasons that le heckin bad faith incel nazi bigot christofascist MAGA drumpfler brigaders think:
When you do not win money your performative bullshit dies down: Sony removed and blacklisted the "LGBTQIAP2SBIPOC+" and "Political" tags on Steam to avoid getting filtered by le heckin bad faith incel nazi bigot christofascist MAGA drumpfler brigaders:
The logical conclusion to the Tumblr-BIPOC-Fatoid-ResetEra-MenDrawingWomen character design: Their characters are so repulsive that Concord has probably broke the record of the first AAA game by a big publisher in history to have ABSOLUTELY NO RULE 34 ART OF IT, A DAY AFTER ITS RELEASE, WOKEOIDS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED WHAT ANTI-PORN CHRISTIANS COULDN'T
Streams of Diddy Kong Racing has more viewers than Copecord streams! TOTAL MONKE VICTORY!
No comments:
Doom, a game from 31 years ago, running on a dogshit Steam port, also has more players than Coomcord

I just ran an event. It was so meaningful to me.
Bla bla bla this libertarian coach cute twink did some gay sporting event involving children
I called someone on my ride home and talked for 30 minutes, all smiles.
I get home late and I'm glad to finally relax. I bellyflop onto the bed and do a dramatic sigh.
this reads like a woman wrote it but ok
My wife says, "did you come in from the garage? Is the laundry done?" I say I don't know. "Get off the bed, I just washed the sheets."
scrotes disrespecting household labour
I said okay and left the room. She followed me and said she didn't know what she did wrong. Asked me if we could start over. I said sure. She told me about her day, said she wants to hear about mine but she's tired and hopes she will fall asleep soon. "Do you still want to tell me about it?" No thanks. The end.
That's it. Idk how to explain it. She knew how important it was. She knew the effort. She knew I was genuinely excited to talk about it. She knew. She knows.
Basically this uncaring harlot doesn't give a solitary frick about her husband or anything he does Let's see if Reddit gave this moid a safe space to vent
✅ It was actually your fault
Think hard about this one kiddo, she should have been with you. Why wasn't she?
Expecting support from your life partner is 'largely silly' because of laundry
YEAH FRICK THIS CUTE TWINK AND HIS HAPPINESS
My ex husband used to put so much time and effort into everyone else.
clueless scrote. You have to treat your wife like an r-slured toddler and tell her explicitly what to do all the time.
She'll love that!
Plus he gets directly to bed.. Like what did the kid eat? Was that mom's responsibility?
You mean to tell me Redditors are unlovable psychopaths
Every single r-slur in this thread is explicitly concerned with the fact that had to lift a solitary finger and not be waited on hand and foot 24/7
sounds like a fun relationship!
Maybe it's because I'm a moid but I'm actually fully capable of both performing menial household tasks AND not being a miserable ladygarden about it! My DMs are open ladies
I'm still on team foid though because he sounds like more of a woman than she does.
Whose side are you on for this extremely tepid drama?

Including this one because it's typical H1B Indian getting his GC and now wants to frick over all other Indians lmao
Including this one cuz it's the only sane one in the bunch.
