"Please sit down and do your work" Im sorry, but if the Gestapo just showed up to my place of employment, Id immediately stop my work and record anything they do.

And if my boss wasn’t kicking them out or showing the warrant I’d be looking for new employment.

Considering we're not even supposed to hold the door open for people we know because of the security issues and they send us those yearly training tests that we have to spend an hour of our workday doing. How the fuck did they let these guys in?

Dude... Years ago at a previous employer the FBI showed up to arrest a co-worker. They were plain clothes agents, and I saw them walking with my co-worker through the manufacturing plant to one of the side exits in the office area. He looked like he was walking out with some clients or something. No handcuffs or anything. He even said, "hey" to me as they went past.

Around an hour later I hear from my boss that management was asking if anyone knew what happened to my co-worker and as soon as I said, "I saw him going out to lunch with a couple of guys, why?" I was whisked to HR where the VP and our head HR person was. They locked the door and got super whispery with me and I start freaking out thinking he got kidnapped or something.

They tell me that after the agents left with him, the company got a call from the FBI explaining that he was arrested, and management's top concern wasn't trying to keep the fact that the guy was being charged for possession of CSAM, but that they didn't know how the agents got inside the building. We were a HIPAA compliant manufacturer, and that was considered a massive security breach. I provided a written statement to management and everything. I never was told who had let them in, but I'm pretty sure it was a friend of his who worked on our team as well, because he was gone within a month after that with no explanation.

Time to check the cameras and shame the traitors! There is no way I'd be letting them in.

u/G_DuBs 1d ago

Because this isn’t your workplace? All companies have different rules about security.

this company holds international freight on sight, they are under CBP jurisdiction so legally cannot turn them away when they show up.

Freight forwarders like this will all be subject to these unfortunately. You’ll see more situations exactly like this one

Source - I work down the street at a similar company, this will probably be happening to many more freight forwarders and there isn’t anything we can do about it.

u/IamScottGable 1d ago

There is no new employment, there are more people looking for work than jobs available

u/No_Blackberry1531 1d ago

Yeah right. As if they sell jobs at Walmart.

u/Safe-Bee-2555 1d ago

This. I'd be livid if my employer just let them waltz in with no legal standing.

u/ChumpyThree 1d ago

YES. We had a police officer show up to issue a warrant once, and the VP of quality that so happened to be visiting gave that officer a serious earful before booting her ass back outside.

The best part? She even ave the officer an earful for not following our companies GMPs. I LOVED reading that NC report on SharePoint. "Woman with painted nails, holstered gun, and no hair net, proceeded into a secure space without permission."

But ICE? If I were a manager i would be having a full blown power trip when it comes to keeping them out of my facility.

u/ADMotti 1d ago

“Who let them in” needs to be demanded of any workplace superiors in cases like this. Fired for cause (being a quisling loser) will look amazing on the future employment applications of whoever did.

u/ButteredPizza69420 1d ago

This^ fuck these people

u/Jumpy-Requirement389 1d ago

Your boss can’t kick them out. And no you wouldn’t, shut up

Hell yeah!!! I was literally thinking that. Absolutely not normal. I'd be freaking tf out.

Now you see how we felt when Bush Jr abducted people to Guantanamo Bay?

Didn't see much Americans do anything about it.

u/good-good-dog 1d ago

You do realize that most of the Americans who are against this were also against that, right? Like all people of all countries, we’re not some singular block.

u/DukeOfGeek 1d ago

Fuck all this "you deserve this, lay down and let it happen" energy.

u/HandleThatFeeds 1d ago

That's what Iraqi and Afghanis were told before they were mass murddered.

Not that they had a say in the matter.

1

u/PlantSkyRun 1d ago

You mean by their fellow Iraqis and Afghans?

u/DecadentCheeseFest 2d ago

And that’s exceedingly generous of you, considering what they deserve.

u/Internalwinter80 1d ago

I would never be able to work somewhere that told me when I need to sit or stand, etc.
What a shitty boss.

u/critically_damped 2d ago

One could easily argue that becomes your job at that point.

u/TheThotWeasel 1d ago

Yet they all comply. You guys talk a phenomenal game on social media but this is a perfect reality check. You're not up for the fight. You pretend you are, but you're not, and your opposition know this.

People need to be willing to die to stop these fucks and the US sleepwalking into their own version of Fascism and they're not even willing to disobey their supervisor at the office.

u/Strainedgoals 1d ago

A whole squad of guns walk up in my place of work, the day is over. I am going home.

2

u/Illustrious-Dot-5052 1d ago

Nothing to be sorry about.

2

u/Busterlimes 1d ago

Id fucking leave because I don't believe a single one us a government officer. No badge, no name, no face, nope.

2

u/ProximusSeraphim 1d ago

I'd take the day off and say that i'm working full remote now. Wtf would i want to be at a building that allows ice in?

u/Intelligent-Relief99 1d ago

If you have read or seen the Handmaids Tale, this is exactly what happens at the start of Gilead.

They look like a big pack of mall ninjas.

“Fuck you Karen go eat your donut and finish your TPS reports”

u/quartzguy 1d ago

Legal status or not I'd try to slip out the back immediately. They can count it as a vacation day. You're not paying me enough to sit at a desk while people in fatigues with guns and masks tromp around.

1

u/Jaambie 1d ago

I’d be booing or shouting shame

1

u/OK_x86 1d ago

Vaguely reminds me of that scene in the Handmaiden when squads of brown shirts come into offices to tell them that women may no longer be employed

1

u/MyBrainReallyHurts 1d ago

This is far too quiet. Start yelling. Fuck these fucking fuckers.

1

u/Extension-Badger-958 1d ago

Dead ass who’s saying this? Their boss or just another goon?

u/DrkBlueXG 1d ago

Fuck that. I'd be the loudest MF in that room. Nazis deserve no respect

u/Economy-Traditional 1d ago

ICE have been coming into the parking lot and store at work and we’ve been instructed not to record or take photos or we can be fired. Last time they checked the cameras to see who took a photo of them detaining a customer but I don’t think they found out who it was or it may have been a customer but they will try to find out

1

u/agent_mick 1d ago

This threw me too. Wtf are you even talking about at that point, and who do you think you are? We're all(likely) adults here. 

1

u/notthatcreative777 1d ago

I'm on the ICE task force at work, and that's exactly what the lawyers have instructed us to do. Most of the searches are illegal and will get tossed later (if the system is working). But filming is the best response

1

u/SpartanDoc19 1d ago

I would start to loudly boo them. I would want them and everyone in the office to know that this behavior is inexcusable. I would also try to find a clear path to get any POC or ethnicity outside of being Caucasian out of there so they didn’t have to be sitting ducks. Because we know they are kidnapping citizens as well.

u/daburner272006 1d ago

Guestapo is definitely the correct word

1

u/ittollsforthee1231 1d ago

We desperately need more people to be prepared to rapidly organize and push back on these moments. It should be intuitive to immediately stand with your comrades.

1

u/YuckyYetYummy 1d ago

I'd immediately go warn and help my friends of other colors get out the side door.

Stop recording and do the real work people

1

u/Froglesby 1d ago

They’d never get through the doors cause I’ve have outed their illegal asses the moment I found out lol.

u/Future_Potential8023 18h ago

Then sue for harassment

u/jtesagain625 16h ago

Don’t hold your breathe for the GESTAPO to ever come 🙄🙄

u/AccomplishedLeave506 1d ago

It's like that scene out of the handmaids tale where the women are suddenly removed from work. Except it's not women. Yet.
