DOGE goon accused of screaming at workers on 36-hour shift
Summary
Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old DOGE goon, allegedly screamed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) employees during a 36-hour shift to expedite layoffs of 90% of staff.
A court paused the firings, citing violations of an earlier order requiring individual assessments before terminations. Kliger told staffers to ignore the court-ordered individual-by-individual assessment requirement.
Kliger is a 25-year-old “internet edgelord” who claims to have ditched seven figures in Silicon Valley to work at DOGE. He is a 2020 Berkeley graduate and “has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online,” Reuters reported.
Kliger has already overseen 1,500–1,700 layoffs. Only three senior staff remain, raising concerns about CFPB's ability to fulfill legal duties.

Our government is being dismantled by children on fucking amphetamines.
I'm usually against it for office jobs, but let's drug test these idiots.
What am I saying, if they don't already have an rx, I'm sure Elon could easily facilitate it.
The previous Trump admin pharmqcy broke records for how much drugs were being dispensed. So probably breaking that record again.
Yeah. No sane adult wants to work 36-hours. This is just pure insanity. I wouldn’t ever work a shift like that. Basically only if the world was literally ending—we are literally being invaded right now. Otherwise, we can handle it on Monday.
The Trump White House was a pill factory last time (there’s public records). So, it’s probably even more ramped up now.
Don’t you love that they are trying to keep highly qualified disabled ADHD people like me out of the work force but at the same time abuse the medicine we need? Fucking pricks.
I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just straight cocaine. 36-hours is beyond. Feels way more cocaine driven— especially the anger/irritability.
He speaks like someone who has never been smacked in the fucking mouth. That’s ok we have the remedy.
I can really only do several hours of real actual cognitive work a day.
After 6 hours the likelihood that i'll make a mistake or waste hours of time increases dramatically.
Don't keep working if this happens, go the fuck home right away. If the world is ending your job doesn't matter anymore, your safety is more important. This system doesn't give a single fuck about you, and never has, you don't owe it your undying loyalty.
I love you. You know what. You are totally right
Have you tried buying Adderall, or any prescription amphetamine, legit from a pharmacy?
Elon may be able to facilitate it, but I doubt even he could effectuate it.
He's the wealthiest man in the world, he can have anything he wants. He could simply buy a pharmaceutical factory, if he wanted it bad enough.
have you tried buying them not from a pharmacy? it’s easy af and not even expensive… the wealthiest man in the world, or even mr “gave up 7 figures in silicon valley” can get whatever they like
I don't think it's all just drugs doing it and I don't want to shift the blame off of him. I think him and the whole administration are just b̲a̲d̲ people, who may be augmented by illicitly obtained substances.
absolutely bad people… it’s the 36hr that makes amphetamines kinda obvious
I'm 100% for anyone working for or appointed by the government being routinely drug tested.
The og Nazis were also big fans of amphetamines actually
If I'm being forced to layoff 90% of my department, and this goon starts screaming after 36 straight hours, and a court order to cease, I'm going to punch him in the face, mid-scream, as hard as I can, probably multiple times. And I'll bet he couldn't find a single witness.
"He fell down." -Everyone else present
I mean, I certainly get the sentiment. But these are the same people with a gestapo that's dragging people off by their hair, throwing them into cargo planes, and shoveling them into an El Salvadorian concentration camp.
What's frustrating is to see the last 10% not following the first 90% off the job in solidarity. Americans who are willing to work 36 hour shifts aren't doing their peers or their countrymen any favors, even if they do work for the CFPB. That department cannot fulfill its purpose under the current management and you're foolish if you continue to perpetuate the hoax that it is functional.
I will fight every second of it.
Must have been screaming too hard and got dizzy...
That's what happens when you've been on a Pervitin bender.
Put him on ski patrol duty with the patrol's entire supply of the stuff and see how far he gets behind enemy lines.
I got you boo. I’ll help pay for your lawyer.
No need for a lawyer. I preemptively saw (see?) that the goon walked into a door.
Poor guy bounced off, rolled down six flights of stairs ("But it's only a 3-story building!") and landed in a running woodchipper.
Weird thing is that the woodchipper mulch went straight into the ground and got cemented over. If only we had known
Yeah, if only we [ Removed by Reddit ]
tsk.. this young and he already has high blood pressure. i dunno bro.
"And dismembered himself"
A good throat punch or 10 would be much better
I would have beaten him with a fucking keyboard.
You're getting fired anyway, might as well reenact this scene with enthusiasm.
Keyboards too nice. You need to mash his Nazi face in with a stapler.
I had to see this and now you do too. You're welcome.
With it open so you can leave little staple-stikas across his face. (Need good aim or just to beat him senseless first...)
If you're going to get a free ticket to El Salvador, you may as well go make sure it's his final beating.
Which movie is this?
Wanted (2008)

Take that Chris Pratt.
Oh no wonder these brats are acting like this... you give a 25-year-old seven figures and.. there you go. It's like giving a five-year-old fucking sugar. Smack the goddamn out of him and send to his room with no supper.
He never got seven figures. He claimed he would have made that in silicon valley had he not joined doge. Based on his behavior I doubt that
I'd love to read a feel-good article about this man's suicide.
Can't happen soon enough.
So he gave up 7 figures to work 36 hour shifts as a government employee? Dude is definitely not fucking smart
Plus, he’s young enough that if nobody kills him, he’ll definitely have to answer for his actions at the American version of the Nuremberg Trials.
De-nazification was a lie. The East and West German governments were flush with ex-Nazi mid-level bureaucracts by the end of the 1940s, with Nazi officer survivors holding positions as senior as cabinet secretaries and high courts.
Germany's post-World War II government was full of Nazis. A new study says that half of all senior officials in Germany's Justice Ministry in the 1950s and 1960s were former Nazis.
Nevermind the NATO commanders with Nazi careers who helped to form the post-war anti-communist movement's backbone.
No - he's forcing others to work 36 hour shifts then yelling at them for not being fast enough.
He was offered a role where he could openly express his hatred and narcissism in the form of unlimited cruelty to other humans. I suspect he would have done it for free.
or he’s getting in at the ground floor of the ‘new’ nazi government
He's gotta
build upburn his resumeIf I were a career federal employee with decades on the job, and some snot nosed discount Nazi baby comes into my workplace and does this shit, I don't care what happens, I'm beating the little shit to within an inch of his miserable life.
Just keep calling him bud, dude, kid, et. until he snaps and you can "be in reasonable fear of receiving a battery"
Ask if he needs a nap, a juice box, a snack or if his tummy hurts and if that is why he is so cranky. Also call him champ and slugger.
"Calm down"
I mean, I'm not sure why you're assuming you'd be in the 10% they kept around and not the 90% they kicked out at even the faintest hint of obstinance. The only people left are the ones they considered easy to bully.
Sorry, you gotta speak up bud, you talk too quiet.
Good way for that young asshole to get his jaw broken
Then the jaw breaker might get his citizenship revoked and be sent to CECOT or Gitmo. Might be worth it, though.
Better make sure his jar is broken through the back of his head so that it was worth it then. A death sentence is a death sentence, and it would be a shame if simple assault was the highest crime.
"He tripped and fell down 35 flights of stairs. It was a tragedy." "The building is only 12 stories tall." "Yeah, he had to be carried back up a couple of times."
We could only be so lucky.
It's only a matter of time before someone gets sick of this shit, beats the crap out of him, and throws him in a dumpster.
I see no problem here.
I doubt there would be any witnesses, even if it happened in a roomful of people.
Doge just keeps lining up more and more future lawsuit payouts that the government will have to pay when the next president takes office. Every penny saved will cost thousands in lawyers fees and payouts. If not tens or hundreds of thousands.
Ask any doctor; if you've been awake for more than 24 hours straight you're mentally impaired. That's without any drugs, just pure biology.
I don't have access to blood tests, but I'd bet serious money that he was using some sort of medication.
with the help adderall, meth, cocaine, you can stay up that long.
How long have you been up?

the word goon has been ruined, my mind conflated 'goon' with 'gooner' and I can't salvage it
36 hour goon shift
I am gooooning
I mean
You are making it worse, you know
¿Por que no los dos?
First time I heard that word. I looked it up on urban dictionary, but I'm still not sure:
or
2: a supporter of the London based football team, Arsenal FC
FTFY
Or anywhere.
I'm OK if he walks the streets in, say, Yemen
Cause that’s a great way to motivate me and get me to do what you want, just scream at me. That shows me you have power and authority…oh, no, wait, that just shows how much of a huge man baby you are and how much pleasure I'll have telling you to fuck off right to your face.
Put that kid in time out
Well, anytime someone says "small government" what they really mean is outsourcing.
While I'm sure there will be a lot of that, I don't think that is "the plan".
Trump campaigned by saying he would be mean to immigrants, cut government services, and implement tariffs.
He got elected, so he's doing those three things.
Additionally, for all intents and purposes he's the king of the US, so he can do these things in such a way as to maximise offence to the left because he finds it gratifying how powerless we are to prevent him.
In short, there is no plan other than gratifying Trump each day.
Enemy of the people
I'm honestly shocked no one has Rochambeaued this narcissistic jackass.
Hah exactly!
*wikipedia's that term, finds some French general, nothing significant about his death*
Yeah, good reference!
SouthPark reference for those out of the loop, not the poster above though, he knows what's up.
Ah cheers, found it - game where people kick each other in the groin
That's a grin I'd like to punch off his face. Nazi scum.
You also saw the late-January Redditor spreadsheet listing his personal cell phone number, parents' home address, and his personal email address? I can't believe that dude was dumb enough to leave all that information casually lying around on the world wide web for just anyone to find through public search channels.
He should go back to his 7 figure job and marry his Canadian girlfriend.
Problem is not this idiot, the problem is who enabled him
Porque no los dos?
That’s when it’s time to pop the AirPods Pros in and noise cancel him. You want me to quit because you’re having a tantrum to expedite me leaving? I’m older, wiser, and will just double down on staying.
I think they're quoting the linked Forbes article not the linked Reuters one. I searched for "edgelord" between the two
I hope he breaks multiple bones and tears multiple tendons/ligaments
Another fucking neo-Nazi loser. Firing people and boosting white supremacists, fuck him.
Naah im good on fucking him. Aint my type
but it's not like musk has anything to gain from cfpb being gutted, right?
Dude isn't an edgelord because edgelords play around on the line. This kid is a fascist
36 hours of goon? No wonder he was screaming, I bet his dick looks like a pistol grip.
A 25- year old nothing has no idea what a livelihood is. He's never had to do the shit a real man or woman has to do to provide.
Daddy's boy needs to learn his place. Stay in your lane rich boy and shut up.
Wait, he did WHAT at work?! That's really inappropriate!
Did somebody say "DOGOON"?
(Violence Fight, Taito, 1989, arcade.)
Razis and Nazis have taken over US.
Neat watching lemmy pretend to care about workers at all.
See ypu in the next minimum wage thread where your worth as a person is determined by your age and location.
Lemmy.world will act like they care about workers, but as soon as workers want any meaningful change, they'll argue "the political leaders' hands are tied, they try everything they could!"
Meanwhile Trump gets whatever he wants without issue. I wonder why Democrats are powerless to help people but Trump can damage entire systems...
Sinema's thumbs down remains democrats' last word on minimum wage. Her hands were free.
If I had a nickel for the times Democrats could have done something more useful but crumped and abandoned because of Republicans being dickheads, I'd have enough to lobby one.
