DOGE Sends Email to Federal Workers Requiring Work Justification: "Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation"

Serious question. Would this be taken as resignation for not responding to the email? I doubt it since Patel is instructing his entire FBI staff.

But then, if Musk’s threat is not taken seriously, then going forward, whatever he says won’t be taken seriously. So what would Musk do?

Good point. If this is going to be weekly and will take ~5 minutes per occurrence, it will actually waste more like 780 million hours of collective work time per year. Thanks for catching my underestimate.

This is a myth and made up scenario. In reality, most people aren’t that talented. Almost everybody is replaceable. That’s how businesses work.

Ha ha ha hah, it’s pretty entertaining to watch all this drama with nonpartisan dispassion.

Why do all Trumpers have the same punishment fetish? Your last sentence is so dumb.

"I spent a couple of hours a day on LRC to own the libs."

That the best way to save one's job.

Given that Elon Musk has repeatedly lied about what DOGE is finding, we can safely disregard this bogus claim that tons of non-existent or dead people are on the government payroll. Not one single piece of evidence has been provided for this obvious lie, yet you lap it up like a dog.

It seems you need this explained to you like you are five: Elon Musk is not the boss of all federal government employees. No federal employees outside the ones directly under him at DOGE should respond to his idiotic, illegal demands.

....

Did you just refer to Trump as "Daddy"?

President Kennedy: Ask what you can do for your country.

President financier Musk: Ask what have you done lately for your country.

lmao according to who, the 'fact-checkers' like Reuters who are funded by USAID to push propaganda? do they actually see the data like the DOGE team does?

are these the same that pushed the russian collusion narrative, told us the virus came from a wet market, that Biden was sharp as a tack, and that the COVID jabs were 100% safe & effective?

2021 called, it wants its debooonkeds back

Remember that Trump is transactional. Elon spent $277 million to get him elected. In his zeal, Elon and his crew did in weeks what proper forensic accountants and lawyers would take months to do. Essentially, Trump has used Musk to avoid prison and to find things that he can cut.

Now, with his poll numbers already tanking, he can dispose of Musk and blame him for all of the pain and angst. By also promising an investigation into Musk, the voters have a target to focus on while Congress cuts all of the stuff found by Musk. Trump says that Elon went too far, saves a few federal jobs, and his numbers bounce back because he looks reasonable compared to the autistic drug addict with the disrespectful four year old son. The constant legal harassment of musk and his ventures keeps him quiet. Or, he overdoses on some party drug and tragically passes.

No offense intended, but anyone doing their work should be able to complete it in less than 15 minutes. All they will have to do is copy and paste from their work log.

Most of the federal employees getting fired are Dems. We need to find a way to deport them to the countries they love more than America.

Are you kidding me? It would take you just 15 minutes to list all the things you did in a whole week?

A lot faster would be to upload a picture of employee doing the Musk Salute. That takes less than 1min.

I am asked to give a brief summary of my daily plans for the week to my boss. It usually takes me about five minutes to type it up. Granted, it takes me longer to make a detailed plan before initiating the work, but the required form takes around 5 minutes every week. I am pretty sure it is the same for most government employees, who typically do repetitive work. Now the higher-ups might have more variety in their job, and some agencies might also have more variety, but the vast majority do the same monotonous work every week. For example, my wife has a script she has to read for every person she contacts for her government job. I hear her asking the same questions over and over. Total monotony, but still work, and it can be documented quickly.

What part of "Elon Musk is not the boss of all federal government employees and has no business making this demand" don't you understand?

You know this how?

Liberal meltdown.

Quit characterizing it as doge being within the purview of congressional oversight. It’s not. It’s an executive branch agency.
