DOGE Goon Accused of Screaming at Workers on 36-Hour Shift

Gavin Kliger, 25, is accused of hounding a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau team to fire 90 percent of their colleagues by Thursday.

Summary

Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old DOGE goon, allegedly screamed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) employees during a 36-hour shift to expedite layoffs of 90% of staff.

A court paused the firings, citing violations of an earlier order requiring individual assessments before terminations. Kliger told staffers to ignore the court-ordered individual-by-individual assessment requirement.

Kliger is a 25-year-old “internet edgelord” who claims to have ditched seven figures in Silicon Valley to work at DOGE. He is a 2020 Berkeley graduate and “has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online,” Reuters reported.

Kliger has already overseen 1,500–1,700 layoffs. Only three senior staff remain, raising concerns about CFPB’s ability to fulfill legal duties.

    He should go back to his 7 figure job and marry his Canadian girlfriend.

    Problem is not this idiot, the problem is who enabled him

    Oh no wonder these brats are acting like this… you give a 25-year-old seven figures and… there you go. It’s like giving a five-year-old fucking sugar. Smack the goddamn out of him and send to his room with no supper.

      He never got seven figures. He claimed he would have made that in silicon valley had he not joined doge. Based on his behavior I doubt that

    Normally I’d joke about how “We know where they sleep” but this goon doesn’t seem to do much of that. I still hope someone beats the shit out of him, and the rest of the conservatives.

      You also saw the late-January Redditor spreadsheet listing his personal cell phone number, parents’ home address, and his personal email address? I can’t believe that dude was dumb enough to leave all that information casually lying around on the world wide web for just anyone to find through public search channels.

    Doge just keeps lining up more and more future lawsuit payouts that the government will have to pay when the next president takes office. Every penny saved will cost thousands in lawyers fees and payouts. If not tens or hundreds of thousands.

    It’s only a matter of time before someone gets sick of this shit, beats the crap out of him, and throws him in a dumpster.

    I suspect the goal is to ensure all these services and institutions fail so that tRump can assign his buddies to privatize them for profit and skimming. If you thought health and home owner insurance companies were corrupt, wait until you apply for social security or medicare and have it declined by a baby tRump or MAGAt Republican.

      Well, anytime someone says “small government” what they really mean is outsourcing.

      While I’m sure there will be a lot of that, I don’t think that is “the plan”.

      Trump campaigned by saying he would be mean to immigrants, cut government services, and implement tariffs.

      He got elected, so he’s doing those three things.

      Additionally, for all intents and purposes he’s the king of the US, so he can do these things in such a way as to maximise offence to the left because he finds it gratifying how powerless we are to prevent him.

      In short, there is no plan other than gratifying Trump each day.
