re: Elon's "report what you did last week" email - still hilarious

I meet with my boss daily to discuss what I'm working on and daily objectives. That seems pretty normal for most of the people I know.

quote:

Most people report to their boss, not the worlds richest dork and his squad of teens who look like they flunked out of school shooter training camp

Even thirty-year-old SFC's have to report to twenty-one-year-old, snot-nosed 2nd lieutenants regularly and not to the four-star who is ultimately their boss. The squad of teens, like the 2LT's, aren't the ones making the decisions. They are simply collecting the information and feeding it upstream to the higher-ups who actually do make the decisions.

Maybe it would be wise to have a bit of understanding before making such statements - unless your intention is to shriek at clouds rather than assess a situation based upon logic and reason.

I’d have no problem with your thoughts if it weren’t for the “independent” part. Elon is not an independent contractor. He has a conflict of interest.

So dumb. Like I said before. If you are on vacation your boss should know. You should also have an out-of-office auto reply on your email.

It's meant to elicit urgency. It's a simple way to let a large group of people know to take it seriously.

There are always gonna be outliers.

Elon isn't any of their bosses though.

No, Trump is and he delegated the authority to DOGE. Don't like it, resign.

People getting triggered over the emails is hilarious. I guess EDS is real now too.
No, Elon isn't going to read the replies. They're rooting out fake employees and people who don't even check their email.

I saw a few posts elsewhere last month about some agencies creating fake positions and filling them with fake employees to boost their budget requirements and jobs reports.
I blew it off at the time.. that's just crazy.. Until the email thing.

Everybody I know has to report in, except the burger flippers and massively aggravating Lowe's clerks who you can never seem to find anyway (notice a trend there?).

You guys really don’t get it. Of course they should report it, however they should be reporting into their direct manager (as they most likely already do) and not some random person in another department that’s completely unrelated to their own.

Literally no other company/entity does things this way because it makes no sense and is actually less efficient.

Companies don't hire consultants and have outside audits?
