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.
Malicious compliance
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
Yep I always sprinkled in like one 3 and one 4 just to make it look slightly more realistic. Still got forwarded to jobs so
It's a shit show.
Everytime we have higher openings my best people barely squeak thru HR then I got to write a freaking dissertation to explain why I don't just want the person who lied the most on self eval and had a 20 page shotgun resume.
The limiting resumes to two pages is gonna help, but the promotion system for civies makes the military look like they have their shit together.
I always hated having to write a massive resume, but if you didn't HR would pass you up. Always felt bad for these hiring managers
They're a two page limit now, so you basically have to do a bespoke resume for every posting
Which is a hassle, but one of the few changes that's actually positive
Honestly a perfect job for AI. Input job description, input your full highly detailed resume, "tailor my resume to highlight knowledge skills and experience that align with the job posting" then do your final polish.
That's how a lot of the deeply "set in" authoritarian empires have started you know.
A lot of people unhappy with the situation but just keeping quiet and pretending to go along with shit. Until years pass and a whole new generation of government workers who grew up with all this as normal come in and sign the oaths with a shrug and a smile.
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.
The authoritarianism on display is wild. The 2a "gotta fight mah gubment" folks looking like clowns HARD right now.
When you are loudly obsessed with fighting tyranny, but are maga-stupid and gullible. It is like walking around open carry and being the first one shot. Idiots.
The rest of my unalienable rights are crying.
MAGAs are beginning to wake up and they see that they were double crossed- they will most likely get violent.
Guns have always worked as an oppressive force against Americans. The clowns that say otherwise are living in made-up fantasyland.
I mean it's time to put some stricter gun laws.
I hate this timeline so much. Pedonald is literally one of the worst people in the public eye since at least the 80s that we could have ever opted for "leadership". The guy has always been a vainglorious jackass and this should have been clear to any normal human being that took even a quick look at his past...
Sigh.
Cambridge Analytica was just the tip of the iceberg conpared to what we are living ij now but it really all started with them.
It doesn't matter what is obvious to you and me anymore. It's all about influence and they have all the data about you and they know how to target a campaign ad directly to you for pennies.
Just talk about how much you hope compiling TPS reports will lead to the death of a pregnant lady or how you hope your scrubbing documents of pedophilic taint makes it easier to deport people to torture prisons.
"I will help the President's agenda by swiftly facilitating the deportation of anti-America radicals that are under the orders from foreign enemies"
glances at elon musk
I mean come on it's that simple.
"The most important initiative by our God-given President is the Big Beautiful Bill, and I will use my State-ordained power to make sure that our President can continue to taste as much of that Bill as possible, or barring that can find similar sources among his staff to provide him the divine satisfaction and un encumbered warmth befitting of his office."
