Federal employees are told to name colleagues who work in DEI roles or risk 'adverse consequences'

www.nbcnews.com Federal employees are told to name colleagues who work in DEI roles or risk 'adverse consequences'

Emails sent to government workers at numerous agencies gave employees 10 days to report if a colleague's job relates to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Summary

Federal employees have been directed to report colleagues in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) roles within 10 days or face unspecified "adverse consequences."

The directive follows a Trump executive order eliminating DEIA programs in federal agencies, which the administration claims "divided Americans by race."

Employees were warned about disguised DEIA roles using "coded or imprecise language.”

Good ol "communist" tactics. Snitch on your neighbours, snitch on your family. Loyalty to the party.
A certain expression comes to mind: "They hate us cuz they ain't us".
Starting to make sense nowadays...
- Well, actually, the Nazis called it "Machtergreifung" and this is exactly the playbook Trump follows.
- They hate you because you’re poor
  
  They'll hate me even if I was rich, instead they'll love my money.

Bro, they don't even know who they are angry with. Isn't the whole idea that DEI hires underperform.
- That's just to cover up their obvious racism. If you interrogate them the right way, they eventually spit it out, although in a less coded way.

My favorite part is the US government, with its massive intelligence agencies, is trying to shake down its employees to discover their own org chart.
- You're missing that this is a loyalty test.
  It's not about finding out this info. It's about finding out who is willing to be the Reek in all the new House Bolton-style fiefdoms. That's why people only have 10 days to rat out colleagues, they want lists of trustworthy loyalists by the time mid-tier appointees get into the office.
  
  Yeah you're correct
- Says a bit about the potency of those intelligence agencies, maybe? Or the vigor with which these policies will be pursued - or lack thereof. I dunno.
  
  Don't be naive and think this is actually about getting information and not a way to find out who's willing to fuck over their coworkers and kiss Der Furher 's ass-ring

This screams illegal to me too. Like hey email to this weird government email the names of ‘collaborators’ so we can punish them. Tell us first and you’re good. Hide it and we’re coming after you.
Sounds like Germany 1939 or something.
- Or like the US in the 50s and 60s...
  
  True! Wait. This guys a COMMUNIST! Where my list…
- It's only illegal if they don't have the courts on their side.
  The SCOTUS can "interpret" a challenged Jay walking law as "well this clearly says the President can order the killing of all the minorities with abandon" and that's it, no recourse short of physically fighting and dying to them.
  And that's where we're at. The Federalist Society that began under Reagan was a slow moving coup.
  The framers slept in on Checks on the Judicial day. An impossibly high senate impeachment bar. For that reason and more, our constitution needs to collapse and we need a new one, one that treats practiced greed, ie pursuing many times more than what your fellow citizens live on, as the central threat to society that it is.
  
  The only recourse within the system is impeachment.

- Just use it to sign up for as many shit spam newsletters as possible. Maybe considering disabling that adblocker (or maybe spin up a vm) and enter it into all the ad popups you can find.
  
  In unrelated news: if you want to test how good a spamfilter you have set up for your self, you can test it with https://mailbait.info/
- Godspeed to all of the new accounts created on ultra-questionable porn sites with this email address.

Did you see something? No you didn't.
- Just tell them you're colorblind

apparently there some person named donald trump, whose trying to use DEI policies to turn me into a woman. we should probably report him
- Wrong. U libs always mishear what trump wrote. She didn't turn us all into woman. She signed a executive order that all men are trans men. U have been a women all along. I swear libruls can't read anything anymore.
  How'd I do? Convincing as a trump apologist?

Don't name anyone. Or better, name known fascist placeholders.
- That's what I was thinking. Have them chase each other or some ghost.
- The President was picked specifically because he was a white male. Kick him out please

Beautiful .... let's let everyone fight endlessly and be angry, afraid, anxious and distracted by everything and anything but the things that actually matter to people.
By the time four years rolls around, the US will be an organizational mess and completely chaotic as the climate crisis takes over everything and everyone.
- I mean, it kind of already is an organizational mess that's completely chaotic.

fuckin make me

Joke’s on the republican’s because I’m a gay man and use the men’s room all the time. I know what republican men do in there.
- He just had a wide stance!
  
  Heh heh heh. Awww yeah. Memories.

Hmm... "My department is fortunate that we didn't need to make any DEI hires" Seems an easy enough response when questioned.
- Is this about DEI hires or workers whose jobs are to ensure their hiring practices promote diversity, equality, and inclucivity? I took it to mean that if Susie in HR has a job description that includes anything about diversity in hiring, federal workers are supposed to rat on Susie or face consequences. Not on the folks who maybe arguably were hired because their presence increase diversity, equality, and/or inclucivity.

By current policy, it is the role of everyone in an organization to implement and support DEIA. So every single employee should report every other employee in their org.

- Ah I found a mistake
  (b) Telegraph
  (1) Delay the transmission and delivery of telegrams to enemy destinations.
  (2) Garble telegrams to enemy destinations so that another telegram will have to be sent or a long distance call will have to be made. Sometimes it will be possible to do this by changing a single letter in a word—for example, changing “minimum” to “maximum,” so that the person receiving the telegram will not know whether “minimum” or “maximum” is meant.
  Surely the intended word is "manimum" because it's one letter from minimum and one letter from maximum.

I'll begin reporting people who work for Dale Earnhardt Inc (DEI). They have a neat museum in North Carolina.

They'll just start firing minorities next. In fact, they'll start now, I'm guessing. This is what the idiots and biggots voted for.

How would they even know? Isn’t that protected information?
