Federal workers at the GSA's Technology Transformation Services have adopted spoon emojis as a playful yet defiant response to the Trump administration's push for resignations. This trend highlights a cultural resistance among employees, with many seeing it as a humorous rejection of the federal workforce reduction initiative. The number of resignations accepted stands at around 40,000, lower than expected. This resistance has roots in previous communications, exemplified by an email from the EEOC that framed spoons as preferable to forks, further uniting federal workers under a common cause against the buyout.
Employees are using spoon emojis to express their defiance against the Trump administration's push for federal worker resignations, symbolizing a 'fork you' reaction.
About 40,000 federal workers have accepted the resignation offer, which is far less than the anticipated number set by the government.
The initiative of using spoons as a symbol of resistance traces back to an email from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission titled 'A Spoon is Better Than a Fork'.
Thursday was dubbed 'Hold the Line' Day by federal workers who oppose the buyout offer, emphasizing their commitment to staying in their jobs.
