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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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. https://bsky.app/profile/zuzuspetalsmi.bsky.social/post/3m3o62kdems2r

    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
