      I hadn’t flown since right before quarantine dropped in the US, and flew United once last year. I was already thinking I’d stick to driving

    You mean that people who work in one of the highest-stress jobs in the world might not want the added stress of being potentially shitcanned at any second by this apartheid manchild?

    its not possible since they are forced to retire by law at 56 anyways, and they already proven that with studies that past a certain age you cant maintain the same cognitive abilities like in your 20s-40s.

      no its not, its physically, and mentally not possible, since studies have shown how you decline mentally at a certain age.

    I wouldn’t even think of flying down to the US for this very reason - I wouldn’t feel safe.

    I used to work for Amazon in a division I didn’t feel grimey for. Spent over 7 years of my life in that division, doing great things and recurringly got top performer review status and was even awarded role model on top of that on several occasions.

    Then they laid me off in 2023, after my latest review of “top performer” & award of “role model”.

    About 2 weeks ago a recruiter reached out to me for a role in AWS and I responded with, “Amazon shouldn’t have laid me, a top performer and role model, off if they’d like me to work for them.”

    ATCs should give this response to Musk.

      A friend of mine was laid off in a firing of 300 workers. A couple of years later, a new upper manager comes in and tries to hire 500.

      The people making decisions at large corporations have no idea what’s happening on the ground, they just see major shareholders, a budget and expenses.

    I was told there was no such thing as a shortage in a free market, why won’t the executive branch embrace free market economics?

      Musk is discovering he can’t hire foreign workers to replace people at will. That some federal workers perform highly specialized and high stress tasks that you can’t fix with his typical knuckle dragging tactics.
