I take two things from this:

1. The guys they are attracting are so incompetent that they can't make it through their probation period.
2. They either are generally incompetent, or not savage enough. One of these is funny, and one of these is deeply concerning.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, specifically the episode Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare

I think I speak for all of us when I say,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA

Boo fucking hoo, you Nazi pricks.

Cool. Now make like a good Nazi by taking after your role model and painting the ceiling red. Fucking traitors.

Secret third thing: they never intended to keep them in the first place, and it was a scam the whole time. I doubt 1 or 2 are even plausible.

Everything they do is a scam, so this tracks

It's not a secret third thing.

As soon as we heard that the signing bonus was related to a probationary period, everyone who knows anything about how Trump does business said, "Nobody is getting that bonus."

It's extra shitty if they paid it out up front and now the employees have to pay it back, but none of this comes as a surprise.

I wonder at what point those people finally turn on him. Usually, failure to pay a group results in mutiny of some kind.

Maybe they are so brainwashed that they believe whatever their superiors are saying to gaslight them about failing the probationary period.

Or maybe DHS was smart enough to hire a bunch of people who didn't meet the criteria just so they could "finalize the background check" and fire them right when it was convenient.

This move is right out of the Trump business playbook. He's been not paying workers and committing fraud against contractors his entire adult life. Avoiding the payout was the plan from day 1 when the bonus was offered--I'm betting Trump himself recommended this outcome.
Fuck ICE. I hope every agent experiences bankruptcy and hardship. They ruined their lives to serve a child-rapist.

Best thing I read all day!

So they can do something useful afterall

I love watching Conservatives getting hoisted on their own Petard--they are the reason At-will employment exists

Now that's some good fucking news. Get fucked

It's extra shitty if they paid it out up front

It does, in fact, seem like that's the case

LOLOLOL! F-them and they should have known better. MAGA will screw you.

A critic reference in the wild!!!

It's only the case because Trump is using taxpayer money and not from his pocket. If he had to personally pay the signing bonus they wouldn't get one even if it was promised. If Elon wanted DOGE to actually do it's job they would impeach Trump.

They are single issue voters, oh sorry you already said stupid.

Guess who the tariffs went to. This is extortion

I don't think that's how these people are wired.

They're conditioned to blame others for their problems. They will just blame harder.

Iirc, it was a taxable 10K per year for 5 years. If they were let go, they had to pay back the full, untaxed amount.

Meh. Fuck 'em.

citing background red flags that

you fuck one goat...

maybe apply with the FBI if that was the case ?

A few months ago, I asked Lemmy how much I could expect to make if I went through ICE training, and quit immediately before my first operational deployment. I'd bet I wasn't the only one to contemplate such a scam.

I can't wait to find out how they will blame the woke left for this very thing they were warned about.

Its Raptors around here

Maybe next time one of these losers decide to off themselves they'll take their bosses down with them.

It would be shitty if it happened to nurses or firemen or something. This is fucking hilarious.

the cynic in me thinks it's more just that they have impossible quotas. since many of them are coming in with the idea that the country is bursting with illegals, they think they will reach those numbers easily but then find that no, actually like we've been telling you, they're mostly here legally. So they fail to make their numbers, are marked as poor performers and wash out. The smart ones would have put that signing bonus into a HYSA but I doubt their that clever.

Could be a neat way to wash away student loans. Use the 50K to pay off student debt, Fail on purpose, declare bankruptcy to dismiss the signing bonus debt.

Anyway, I don't think it has to do with their conduct or competency they got played using the old MLM scheme. can't deport illegals when all the illegals and even questionable have already been deported. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes as they like to say.

edit:

Don't get me wrong they're def pieces of shit, but a piece of shit with a major quota can be extra shitty because of stress. Like starving and beating a street dog. It's already prone to biting. you just made it snap faster.

Trump betrays everyone who trusts him, even his wife and kids.

As soon as we heard that the signing bonus was related to a probationary period, everyone who knows anything about how Trump does business said, “Nobody is getting that bonus.”

This is a single instance posted with little to no detail in a thread that loves to promote any kind of rumor of a reactionary experiencing hardship.

So, consider taking it with a boulder of salt.

No source. No supporting details. It's just Lefty Forward From Grandma as far as I'm concerned.

Yep, ya love to see it!

Where's the article?

For stocks, we used to have a choice between options or grants. Options were always a joke because you were basically paying market value when they vested, so you could just go buy them on the market for the same price. So I always chose grants, which were 1/4 of what they offered you in options.

awww. poor babies just wanted to shoot brown people, and now they're getting fired?!

If only there was some way to predict …

• https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/09/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republican-president-laswuits/85297274/

Basically just like the Nazi Brownshirts when they outlived their usefulness.

Now we just have to wait until they do something stupid and then get officially disbanded.

Well, what I want to know is, were these people fired because they weren't brownshirt enough? Then it's just cleaning ranks for the most loyal and extreme hires to come in. This is what it seems to be, since the people being fired are due to failed "background checks" or "poor performance".

It's almost always a case of both, but it's likely that the US Govie has more elite fanatic troops they deem sufficient.

This is just pure hopium.... It's mostly Americans happy that something "was done to the fascists, yay" when in reality it's all bs.

Newsflash Americans; you're actually going to have to stand up to the fascists eventually!

I thought they didn't get the money until they reached a milestone, like 3 years later.

He was a useful idiot for laundering money.

It's related to that ice guy who killed himself after he was fired.

This is the only thing I could find that brings to light the repayment.

1. they are mostly unhirable anywhere.

also even if there are illegals out there , they wont be announcing or showing themselves. they will be mostly in Hiding.

it was planned 5 year in to get the bonus, they fully expect the next president to immediately fire, ro downsize the agency.

some of them were reported early on they were SA people already.

trump needed his distraction of the month, now that has died down hes cutting them loose.
