Ding ding ding!

And that's what taught him that as long as the money keeps moving, and the sums of moving money are big enough, the rewards always grossly outweigh the penalties. That fact has only grown more true and far-reaching, throughout his entire life.

Folks miss the whole point, getting up in arms primarily about the policies and their way-too-real play-acting toward such, failing to see that this entire administration is strictly a gigantic, nakedly transparent, global-scale grift.

It's vacuuming up WILD sums of money, moving them, knowing that any penalties can only come much later, AND must contend with the massively stacked deck that's built by moving those hideously big sums of money. There's a lot to say about the insane number of grift-streams they have openly established, way more than makes sense to do here, but fuuuuuuck holy fucking fuck.

Biden took the 50k!!!

Aren’t signing bonuses explicitly an early in the job sort of thing?

Lol no way, is this true? It's the world actually not as bad as it always seems, because that's fucking hilarious.

Yea that's normally how it works, but the news was reporting the fine print of some who signed on not getting their bonuses until they've met a 3 year minimum or having to pay it back.
Like with anything Trump, the money was never real.

The craziest ones are the brown people that signed up

It stinks!

^(but^ ^not^ ^really)^

Mm, nothing like pissing on J6'ers, which have actually revolted.

The best they could possibly do is lock down the wife and kids of the couch f*cker.

Well the current admin did promise to cut down on costs and actually letting them keep their bonuses would be a huge cost.

win/win for trump :(

Yes but isn't it normally expected for you to stay for more than 3 days rather than taking it and fucking off?

Even better, they're getting un-paid the money they already spent on a Cybertruck.

They'd better get to point blank range; they're terrible shots.

It will probably be a class action lawsuit which famously really pays out the lawyers more than the actual plaintiffs. Just another way to grease the palms of the rich.

If there is a next term, it will be someone who supports ICE continuing to exist.

Eh, what you're implying is not how these things usually work. If the government side terminates your contract early, you keep the bonus. I've seen it in the military. People signed with bonuses that the government paid up front. Then while the member was in tech school his position got cut (Air National Guard), so they ended his contract but he kept the bonus because he wasn't the one that invalidated the contract. If it works the same and these ICE agents did get terminated by the next administration, they would still keep their bonus.

It's in the name

Legaly speaking, if your employee has comited crimes during their work, can't you ask them to give back even more than just the signing bonus?

I am quite sure ICE keeps informations on their ex agents...

This is Awesome! Best thing I've seen all week.

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.

That's fucking genius. No way they are thinking that deep.

took his own life in the parking lot of ICE's Philadelphia field office just days after receiving his termination notice.

He took "termination notice" seriously

He shit in my pants too!

Part of the story in that one.

Just a few

The bonuses are doled out over 5 years in $10,000 increments. Student loan forgiveness (who are we kidding... these guys didn't go to Yale) is similarly spread out. Both are at the discretion of supervisors.

Basically, these imZmoral blobs are going to get screwed and I'm fine with that.

Oh don’t worry they put a bunch of restrictions on those bonuses too, they’re not going to get them. It’s all just BS for recruiting.

I suspect that the signing bonus has a giant asterisk next to it and most of them are never actually going to see it.

And the direct reply

It literally has an asterisk next to it on the recruiting website.

To all ICE agents. He will be gone one day and you won't have Noem's skirts to hide behind. We are not going to forget and are going to demand Nuremburg style trials for you. Oh and that 50k signing bonus? Never going to see it

Normally yes but I think they weren't actual signing bonuses. To be honest, I read somewhere that some were quitting because they were afraid they would never get the bonuses, but I neither remember the source, not its veracity. But a lot of times it's Lemmy.

Not enough tortures, I guess

That's the craziest part, all these sociopaths in power have immigrant wives or parents, with Trumplethinskin being the prime example.

You cant sue the government, or use class action litigation

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas. Could happy endings be expected with the group that hired them?

Look, when I signed up to work for an agency that deports people to countries they've never been to, I was fine with it cause I was gonna get a lot of money. Now that I'm not getting that money, I obviously have to vote even harder for the assholes fucking me over because the brown people are the reason I didn't get paid, not the president who routinely doesn't pay people. This post was sponsored by the Heritage Foundation or some shit.

There's good immigrants ans bad immigrants.

The good one are rich enough or protected by people in power till they stop please them.

The bad one are everyone else.
But hey.... The neat part is we include the white one.

DEI Racism

this is just a picture.

Exactly. This is one of those things that I do not understand how Trump has been getting away with for more than 50 years. He rarely, if ever, pays his workers. Yet he keeps finding new investors and workers all the time. Most people who are unable to pay a single payment have their credibility fucked for a long time. But it seems to do nothing to him.

Only morons like these would take basic information at base level. I hope they all go broke and then some.

Probably slipping on the ice and being made fun of on late night television. 😂

Also their employer, Donald Trump, has made his fortune and career based on screwing people over and wage theft.

I never understood how he just kept getting away with shit like that his entire life.

They should.
