@SundayFutures@MariaBartiromo@KariLake@FoxNews Although VOA employees are not fired, the grantee employees for some organizations were fired without their paid time off or severance package. USAGM has refused to provide the funds to properly separate these employees. At the very least, funds should be provided to close out.
@KariLake I agree with the removal of the wasted tax payers money, but I disagree in the approach that is affecting the workers that put in the hard work and have not been paid or now furloughed without pay. The government should payout what is owed to the workers and shutdown.
@FoxNews@KariLake It is unfortunate that because of the rot in VOA and mismanagement at USAGM, it affected all the grantees that we're doing the right thing. Corruption at the top, screwed everyone else.
@plbb2022@KariLake Do some research, it is not just podcasting. Television and radio along with social media and multiple languages. VOA is just 1 of many grantees under USAGM.
@donna_do68823@KariLake You can blame that on the appointment by the Biden administration to lead the USAGM group. That lady was not very smart and did not bother to ensure the new headquarters was equipped with a broadcast ready layout. It is an office building not a proper facility for Television.
@PaulaKick10@KariLake That was to be the headquarters for USAGM and was to consolidate several other entities into a single building. Currently there are multiple buildings being leased to host the other entities.
