The collective tantrum among federal employees who’ve been called back to their offices continues, and some oddly enough, take their grievances to social media.
In a now-deleted Reddit post, a presumed federal employee sounded off on the “irony” surrounding “Trump making” them go to work “in person.”
The reported DMV worker named Katie claimed that Trump and DOGE’s plan has already backfired because now all they do in the office “is yap” about all the changes being implanted by the new administration.
“All of this we are yapping more at work, trying to digest everything that’s going on, we cannot get any work done because of how much information intake that existing in this administration requires,” she complained.
“You love to see it!” Libs of TikTok stated and posted Katie’s video before it had been deleted:

But that’s not all. In a more deliberate attempt to thwart Trump, another Reddit user came up with the hair-brained idea to boycott D.C. restaurants and stores near their offices that they apparently rarely, if ever, went to. No, really.
“Bring your own lunch to avoid using the eateries and grocery stores, avoid parking in pay parking (use mass transit if available), and don’t buy anything at the shops or gas stations,” a post promoting the boycott stated.
Charlie Kirk nabbed a screenshot of the dastardly plan before that one too was deleted from Reddit:
Over on Reddit, federal employees are in a total meltdown that President Trump has ordered them to return to the office and get back to work. Right now, the top suggestion is for employees to boycott all the local small businesses near their office — the restaurants, grocery… pic.twitter.com/sGP9Pu83ln

“Never forget that in addition to being lazy, these people are nasty, spiteful, resentful individuals who think they are better than ordinary people who have to work,” Kirk said about the post.
Plenty of X users agreed:
The best idea is to punish the little guy.

Wait so they’re going to boycott the businesses near their office that they already weren’t using for the last 4 years because they were working from home?
Yeah, that makes sense.

When employees have meltdowns because someone asked them to do the thing they’re paid to do…
…that’s how you know entitlement has reached Olympic levels.

No wonder they’re ticked!
As for Katie, she got plenty of backlash too:
So what you’re saying is you can’t concentrate, you’re easily distracted, you’re on TikTok 14 hours ago (should’ve been at work), and you can’t be trusted to work remotely. So much easier calling your bad work ethic out! pic.twitter.com/KrF9YpxX79

She needs to be fired.
I have no problem w/ federal employees disagreeing w/ the president, but to not be able to get work done bc he ended DEI and is deporting illegals is so incompetent & unprofessional. And then to advertise it to the world demonstrates further poor judgment.

Dear Lazy Federal Employee—I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Trump ordered y’all back to the office cuz he wants to get an accurate headcount before he fires 90% of y’all. He doesn’t expect you to do any work, he knows that y’all were never doing anything to begin with!

Maybe you should think about different employment if you can’t handle the job. Sounds like effort isn’t your strong suit. Maybe, just maybe one of your supervisors will see your little TikTok & help you out. Right out the door.
