Federal employees ordered to remove pronouns from their email signature and urged to find ‘higher productivity jobs’
Story by Josh Marcus • 13h

Federal employees are beginning to see the impacts of Donald Trump’s executive orders on gender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, as well as facing continued pressure to accept buyouts and resign from the government later this year.

On Thursday, as their agency worked to investigate a catastrophic plane crash between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter outside of Washington, employees of the Federal Aviation Administration were reportedly among government workers who got an email encouraging them to quit and find a “higher productivity” job.
 
“We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” read an email that went out to FAA workers, as well as those at the CDC and Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, which was obtained by The New York Times. “The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Pronouns from their signatures?  How woke can a government go? :whistle:

This has Musk's fingerprints all over it.

I'm very glad my university never inflicted that nonsense on us as a requirement.  You could tell who the loons were because they did it voluntarily (and most of us didn't -- engineering and ag heavy land grant university, we probably have one of the least left-wing faculties in the country, leaving aside Hillsdale College, UATX and Bible colleges).  I'd thought if they did I'd pick he/her/its and claim to feel masculine when I am the subject, feminine when I am the object, and neuter when I possess things, but I just realized as this nonsense is fading nationwide that the best parodic "preferred pronouns" would be who/whom/whose.
