Summary
Donald Trump’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has reportedly hired a 21-year-old senior advisor and a freshly graduated high schooler, showing the administration’s unconventional hiring approach.
Many new appointees have ties to Elon Musk, including OPM’s chief of staff Amanda Scales, formerly of xAI.
The administration is restructuring government staffing, influenced by Musk’s cost-cutting model.
A White House memo, echoing Musk’s 2022 Twitter overhaul, offers buyouts to employees unwilling to meet new performance standards.
Unconventional hiring approach? Give me a break – these are clearly award positions for loyalists, kickbacks to their friends and relatives. Merit is out the window.
Sanewashing, everything, all the time.
Why I fear DEI: my kids won’t be able to skate by on my reputation and connections while brown people and vagina persons exhibit talent
Precisely the only two idiotic types of people who would go along with his Nazi plans.
Yes, because clearly nobody over the age of 21 would possibly work with him. 🙄
What do you think you achieve by so grossly misrepresenting their party and pinning it on “idiot” kids?
You’re right, idiot adults would also work with him.
That would be my point.
How the hell are you going to call yourself a senior advisor at 21 years old?
Also, who the hell is going to listen to that advice?
It’s because he advises the senior citizen in charge
Hands new hires a bike pump
“Time to inflate those titles!”
Welcome to the kakistocracy.
Didn’t Earn It
More incompetent people put into power to serve the whims of trump
Man being a 20 year old with a degree and certifications and still not finding a job related to that stuff, and then I have to see this. I really do wanna leave this bs ass country now. Fts
High schooler? Somebody is fucking
Merit based hires, I see no issue
I feel bad for those young people getting sucked into something that will likely end badly for them.
I have zero sympathy. You have to live in a cave to not know enough about this administration to make an informed decision, even at 18.
If they are that stupid they deserve to learn the hard way.
They are old enough to know what a Nazi is.
