Summary
Former IRS human resources chief Traci DiMartini is fighting back after being fired for allegedly telling employees that agency firings came from DOGE-controlled Office of Personnel Management and refusing to call staff into weekend work during tax season.
Placed on leave Monday for “ineffective management” and “insubordination,” DiMartini, a 21-year government veteran with no prior disciplinary issues, claims DOGE is attempting to “politicize human capital” by hiring only loyalists while ignoring civil service protections.
“They have no idea who they picked a f—king fight with,” she stated, vowing to challenge her dismissal despite not planning to return to federal employment.

I love hisher attitude! Watch some geeky dude lady from the IRS come out and start kicking some ass.
Of all the people to pick a fight with, a long term IRS worker is the worst they could have picked.
I guess their rich egos don’t know that (to normal people) the only two certainties are death and taxes.
I don’t even care if she wins. This is the fucking attitude we need right now.
Pissing off HR is such a colossally self-defeating move in almost every possible context. I actually really hate that’s the case, but boy is it welcome here, these folks are really stepping in some shit. HR lead in the first place, and of the fucking IRS? I’d literally take my chances sharing lunch with a bear over inflaming that individual so badly.
And she sounds pissed.
“They have no idea who they picked a f—king fight with,”
Man, you know shit is bad when the head of the IRS looks like a hero.
I mean, the head of the IRS absolutely could be a hero. Fighting billionaire tax fraud would be heroic for example. They were definitely starting that up again, until the corrupt executive coup started.
This was the head of HR though.

Mm I did miss that.
That said, HR is generally no friend of the people
So everyone bitches about taxes but think about the Republican campaign against it for years.
Any attempts to simplify taxes has been fought to keep companies like TurboTax and H&R Block profitable, while every chance the Republicans decry any taxes whatsoever so keeps the min wage people against taxes.
But the thing is IRS defunding typically goes after the sections of the IRS that investigates tax fraud from the billionaires and businesses that try to wiggle out after all the tax cuts they’ve worked through, they’ve managed to demonize a portion of the government that’s supposed to be funding the government and goes after the wealthy that don’t pay their fair share.
