The updated lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in California and was provided to The Associated Press, is trying to block mass layoffs pursued by Musk and President Donald Trump, including any connected to the email distributed by the Office of Personnel Management on Saturday. The office, which functions as a human resources agency for the federal government, said employees needed to detail five things they did last week by end of day on Monday.

“No OPM rule, regulation, policy, or program has ever, in United States history, purported to require all federal workers to submit reports to OPM,” said the amended complaint, which was filed on behalf of unions, businesses veterans, and conservation organizations represented by the group State Democracy Defenders Fund. It called the threat of mass firings “one of the most massive employment frauds in the history of this country.”

    I’ve been saying it since the first HR@opm email…

    You couldn’t pay me enough money to work on a Settlementa team now, those poor fucks are going to be dealing with this shit for years.

    The only thing I think Elmo will get away with is the inevitable rugpull on people who took the “fork”.

    The government can’t legally promise to pay money past the budget and the CR ends literally a pay period after everyone leaves. And what they had to sign to take it says “if parts are found illegal the rest stands”. Meaning they’re gonna get the axe under false pretenses.

    I’ll be surprised if they get more than a single extra paycheck.
