"If the orders are unclear, it is the fault of the commander. But if they are clear, and the soldiers do not obey, it is the fault of their officers."
Multiple major departments and agencies told their staff to not respond.
You can stop worshiping Elon. It is embarrassing. When Trump throws Elon under the bus (which he will), don't switch sides.

Bought Tesla an existing electric car company founded prior to his involvement.
This is such an incredibly idiotic talking point in an effort to convince yourself that Elon should take no credit at all for where Tesla is today.

I mean, objectively this was poorly handled and terribly executed. Literally no one seems to know what the hell is going on.
Elon is an attention whore spends his days tweeting on ketamine. He just thought this up out of the blue. Go ahead and fire people, this “if you don’t respond then that means you resigned” makes no fricking sense.

It baffles me how up in arms some of you are about this. I’ve had both annual and unscheduled reviews at every job I’ve ever had.
Elons even come out and stated that it doesn’t have to be any sort of elaborate response. It’s just a pulse check. So yes….if you choose to ignore the job request, your job should be looked at to see if you’re actually necessary.

Letter from retired government worker
quote:
As a person who is retired from the U.S. Forest Service and at one time worked for the National Park Service I wanted to clarify some things that a lot of the public doesn't understand.
First, the National Park Service is under the Department of the Interior; the U.S. Forest Service is under Department of Agriculture. The person who wrote the tweet said her daughter worked for the Manistee National Forest; National Forests have nothing to do with National Parks and vice versa.
Second, the only way this person's daughter would have been let go was if she was on probation by being hired into a career position within the last 12 months. Every permanent federal employee must go through a probationary period of one year, during which that can be let go (fired) without cause. This has been standard in federal service for as long as I've been alive. I have confirmed with friends still in the Forest Service that only probationary employees have been let go.
Third, the order on firing all probationary employees excluded fire fighters, law enforcement, and seasonal workers...most of the work accomplished within forests and parks is done by seasonal employees, not permanent employees (these are usually supervisors and admin staff).
Lastly, the Department of the Interior (D.O.I.), and especially the National Park Service, is probably the single most woke department and agency in the federal government. The D.O.I. required employees to put their pronouns in their signature lines and bios (the Department of Agriculture did not). Meetings hosted by the Park Service always began with land acknowledgements (something, by the way, my Indian friends hate) and Park Sevice employees always introduce themselves with their pronouns. There really needs to be some sort of house-cleaning throughout the D.O.I. and Park Service in particular (and in the U.S.F.S. but at the higher administrative levels) in order to change the cultures.
A big reason why I retired early from my job managing a ranger district on a National Forest (which I loved) was because of the woke-ism that was trickling down and impeding our job. It was bad in the Forest Service but it is beyond belief in the National Park Service.

Do you genuinely think they don’t already have performance reviews?

Most here do. Most think they know a whole lot more than they actually do.

We’re talking about the operating procedures of the federal government, where 10’s of thousands of individuals over the age of 110 yrs old have been receiving social security benefits. Do you have faith they have measuring systems in place to monitor productivity from their workers?
Yes, I would think the average manager has the ability to measure performance of their subordinates. Hell, I know a manager in the federal government and she definitely knows if her subordinates are producing because she sees the results of their production.

DOGE is undermining every person in management in the federal government

How was it a shitshow? It’s literally a simple email requesting a weekly update.
The lengths people are going to in order to treat this like some complex frick up is hilarious. It’s very simple
Because if he was actually serious about it, he wouldn't have posted it on twitter for attention. It was not handled in a serious manner, it was an attention grab and basically just used to get federal government employees to feel uncomfortable while Trumptards cheered. I voted for Trump (3 times actually) and I think this portion of DOGE is being handled pretty badly.

They even sent that email to Federal judges and Whitehouse employees. There was no thought put into it. They just sent the email to every email address on file on a whim, and have had to backtrack on a lot of it already.

You think Elon has a red button that he's gonna hit at the deadline and everyone who didn't respond is gonna fall through a trap door and be fired?
First he'll need sharks with lasers on their heads and that involves a lot of red tape.

well, you think drafting an email is traumatizing. That’s pretty bad. I’m willing to discuss other topics. What’s your thoughts on the estate tax?
