If anyone has taken their eyes off what's happening to federal workers in the US right now, here's some highlights that we're hearing from our comrades across the government who have not yet been fired:
- In one building (hosting multiple agencies), the locks on the bathroom were changed so employees no longer have any access to a bathroom during the workday. People are peeing in trash cans.
- Elsewhere, multiple agencies have reported that hand soap is no longer being supplied in the bathrooms.
- Toilet paper supplies have not been adjusted to meet the needs of a vastly increased number of in-office employees.
- Employee-owned coffee and coffee makers have been stolen or thrown away without notice (it was already illegal for taxpayer dollars to be spent on supplying federal employees with amenities like coffee, so many offices have coffee supplied by pooled employee funds).
- Meanwhile, many offices don't even have potable drinking water (recurrent legionella outbreaks), so employees have to bring their own water from home.
- Despite an explosion in the number of workers in offices, cleaning budgets have been slashed and many offices are not being cleaned regularly enough to remain sanitary. Pests like roaches and rats are a problem.
- The firings continue, legal and illegal. Entire programs are being cut. Managers have no idea when they might lose staff. Employees are getting fired at 6pm on a weekend or finding out when they're unable to log into their computer or when they receive a shipping label in the mail to return their equipment.
- Through all of this, the DOGE employees in federal workplaces are enjoying incredible and expensive luxury: AI-powered sleep pods, entire dormitories so they can live in federal buildings, nurseries for their children on site, free food and beverages, laundry services, and who knows what else. They have special security to restrict access to their areas of the buildings, including armed guards.
And I'm not just saying this to lament how bad it is for federal workers. I'm saying this because, as workers are reporting this to one another, the response is, inevitably: "This is illegal." "Yes, but who would I report it to? OPM? They're a DOGE puppet. OSHA? They've cut OSHA. The Inspectors General? Cut. The NLRB? Cut. My union? No longer recognized."
There is no one left to enforce these laws, so taking away access to basic sanitation is now effectively legal. They are doing this to federal workers, who historically have been some of the best-protected workers in the country. They are doing this specifically because it demonstrates to the public sector that it is now legal to do these things to their own workers.
Side note that this is also EXACTLY what Elon did when he took over Twitter, because he thinks that paying for janitorial/environmental staff and building upkeep is a waste of money.

D&D 5e supposedly has a GM shortage and idk maybe if the player culture of the game didn't treat GMing as a thankless job and the rules of the game as an issue to be fixed by the GM maybe things would be better. Ah well, who knows. Maybe a couple hundred more "we ruined the GM's campaign on purpose" memes will make people enjoy running the game better.
How can we get more people to GM? I know! Let's share more reddit posts about "nightmare GMs" where it turns out the GM was driven to desperate action by players that were actively, willfully torturing the GM. Those are fun stories that would make anyone see how great it is to run a game!
(Yes, this response is 100% about that "44 Rules" Reddit post from a while back)
What's the "44 rules" reddit post? I'm morbidly curious now
Disclaimer: I'm not on Reddit, I found out about this through D&D YouTubers, but here's my best understanding
Someone on Reddit shared a list of rules that their DM had sent to their group - 44 rules, ranging from micromanaging to outright unhinged
If you were to take those rules in isolation, and assume that the person who posted them to Reddit was acting in good faith, then it paints a picture of an out-of-control nightmare DM who only knew how to have fun by making life miserable for the players
But some of the rules also made it impossible to take the rules in isolation and assume good faith on the part of the redditor; rules like "don't break my stuff" and "don't show up to the game so high that you can't play" don't just appear out of nowhere
So, other redditors did some digging, and it took like half a minute to find that the same person who had posted this list had also been posting for months about how he and his fellow players enjoyed making life a living hell for their DM
The actual story of the 44 Rules was that the DM canceled the game, the players tried to harass him into starting it back up again, and this list was him basically saying "no way in hell would I ever play with you guys ever again"
But unfortunately, several YouTubers didn't do the ten seconds of research it would have taken to uncover the truth, and so presented this list to their viewers as an example of "when DMs go bad"
