Seems the ‘Government’ ain’t prepared for the return of its workers….
Another Trump & Co. Fuck-Up….
And they are unlikely to try and fix this…
On the Top….They REALLY don’t give a damn and Trump, Mr. Chaos, WILL just Keep at it…Led by the nose….
Bosses will NOT try the solve the issues either, being afraid of being fired …
Topping the list was “full-time employment status,” followed by seniority and pay-scale criteria. But if none of those settled the conflict, supervisors were directed to turn to the sixth item on the list: “flip of a coin.”..
