Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

ICE is quietly firing new hires. For one recruit, it was devastating. (archive.ph)

ICE notified Moore in late August that he was going to be fired and instructed him to come to the agency’s Philadelphia office, according to two federal officials who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. ICE had identified issues in his past, the officials said, including being fired from other law enforcement agencies.

The 38-year-old father of two had fought for his job when supervisors wanted to fire him in the past.

This time, he parked his car in a lot outside the office, and he had his gun. Law enforcement officers tried to stop him, but Moore eventually shot and killed himself, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.

It’s the same as “contract-to-hire” after 6 months. You aren’t getting converted at 6 months.

this hasn't been my experience at all but maybe i'm just a model employee? (this comment typed during work hours)

2016 i went from working for a help desk service provider > a private industry help desk who went 6 months contract to hire. mediocre wages and shit commute but was a huge leg up and got specialized training within a year.

2024 i went 6 month contract to hire for a remote contractor in that specialized dev field and got them to provide the job offer in writing 3 months early as a basis for me to secure a home loan.
