    First I’m 100% with you, Azure audits who set those messages and they do need to be reported.

    Conspiracy time: Every furloughed employee with that message set could be considered in violation of the Hatch Act and that carries with it a possible penalty of removal from federal employment, debarment from federal employment for up to 5 years, and possibly up to a $1,000 civil penalty. I’m really hoping the plan isn’t to start firing these workers from agencies the current administration doesn’t like to begin with.
