Impressed how sheepish the chicken hawk Muricans are... apparently the lesson ITT is not to stand up to an openly corrupt government in any way, but to either play along or get fired for maximun coin

This is, literally, what they want. Making it uncomfortable so people leave on their own and can be replaced with loyalists. They were open about it before the election. Damn, Americans are naive...
Yeah, make them fire you ffs. Just do a shitty job and make mistakes that are sure to get rejected. Gum up the works as long as you can.
This stepping down in protest to let them replace you with a lap dog isn't helping anything.
Aughaughaughsjscjf did some ppl just not get the memo, or is this more of that "I don't care if bad things happen so long as I'm not associated with the cause of it" mentality you usually see from non-voters?
These people have the memory of a goldfish. Resignations were the main way he got the vacancies to fill with collaborators in his first term
Sure, but if they are fired with cause they probably lose some benefits. Just because they can't bring themselves to do Trump's bidding doesn't mean they're willing to lose their pension or something.
"DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE! RESIST!"
:pre-emptively resigns:
Seriously. Delay it as long as you can before demanding that they fire you.
The whole MO of Trump was STALL STALL STALL. No when the power shifted we go…
durrr what do … durrr
Fucking STALL BACK. Don’t leave. Challenge the decision. Show you’re not the only one who says things fucked. get people to stand up too.
Agree, especially for the leadership positions and positions of power. You have a higher responsibility when you're in charge and you can actually fight back whereas subordinates usually just have to do their jobs.
Trust him, he will, in record time. If there's one thing this motherfucker is good at is finding completely unqualified and unfit people.
Being unqualified is basically a requirement to rise in the ranks in the GOP.
Exactly. Why not stay in the role and obstruct injustice? They could always sue the US Government for wrongful termination.
Because he didn't have the spine to do it.
Yeah, excuse him for having sense and morals unlike the shitstain of an administration that we have.
If he'd had sense and morals he'd have stayed and at least tried to slow them down, instead of just rolling over and letting them pick his replacement.
Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views.
Look, the guy is still a shitheel.
Soft bitches with way too much faith in a broken system that has been broken long long long long before this.
