One federal employee said in a court filing that they “cannot in good conscience pretend to agree with President Trump’s policies.”
Government employees asked a federal judge Wednesday to block the Trump administration from encouraging job applicants to demonstrate their loyalty to the president’s agenda.
In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, a group of federal labor unions argues that the White House’s “merit hiring plan” violates applicants’ First Amendment rights. The plan, put forth by the Office of Personnel Management, includes the following short essay question:
“How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.”
There’s always lying on the application then being quietly, passively obstructive.
There’s apparently some people joining ICE like that. They’re offering some huge bonuses with pretty decent salaries, especially if you have military service. Then they do nothing.
Jam up the system.
As someone who has worked in the Federal sphere before, this happens anyway; Ron Swansons are all over the place and have been for a long time. The idea that this would happen deliberately, en masse, is actually kind of awesome in a terrifying way.
Lying has always been an integral part of USAJOBS…
Idiots are overconfident and rate themselves 5/5 for everything, subject matter experts of everything under the sun who know everything…
Rational people know they have limitations and that not everyone knows everything.
But due to how the process works, if you don’t over-exagaratte your abilities, you’ll never get to an interview. Because your numbers aren’t as good as over confident idiots.
I can guarantee no actual fed is facing a crisis of ethics on if they can bs on an application

That’s how you end up in a trial with your only defense being “I was just following orders.”
I’m surprised someone hasn’t automated checking that box, then filling in a paragraph of text that sounds like it agrees but ends with a full-left pivot. Would waste some time for sure.
