re: I'm going to get roasted for this, but anyone else hoping Trump/Elon get more precise?

They're going after the low hanging fruit first. Probationary workers have no legal protection.
Trump's presidency isn't even a month old yet. Have patience.

I do. Things like firing folks we need in the DOE responsible for the nuclear stockpile.... These guys really aren't doing their homework and are just cutting to cut.
Wrong. Due to rules surrounding seniority and such, the best thing to do is just fire everyone. Then you hire back only the high performing ones, which are not necessarily going to be the high seniority ones.

All told federal employee compensation is only 3-4% of government expenditures. We are focused on the most minute aspect of the budget because that’s “other people”. Nobody wants to talk about what truly needs to be done which is social security and Medicare reform, drastically shrinking the military etc

At the expense of many other ordinary schmucks. Time for these idiots to actually add value instead of being a garbage subsidized make work jobs.
Nobody deserves to be a net negative and get paid just because.

Welfare reform mainly. Cut as many nonsense programs as possible.

Don't know if you are really paying attention if this is all you are getting so far but this blitz going after the very top of the agencies and the bottom is exactly the kind of lesson learned from Trump's first go around. It's a shock & awe campaign against dug-in DC interests, not supposed to be a surgical strike yet, those will follow in the months to years ahead.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are all forms of public welfare. Those are the three that matter financially. If we aren’t reforming those then we aren’t actually doing anything at all.

USPS are solid Marxists. 2020 proved that theyll use any means for the end.

My conservative guesstimate is +70% of government workers, both federal and state, are voting for Dim politicians and their destructive policies.

The political beliefs of the typical federal government employee is firmly in the Dim ideology. It's time to dismantle most of the federal government bureaucracies and return power back to the states.

Blanket removal of the probationary workforce is fine, but 99% of the troublemakers are still in there. All they did was get rid of the people fresh out of college.
Completely right
Well, some are gone. I noticed confirmation in a couple of articles that when a career worker moves in the federal workforce, they immediately go to probationary state. This state can last years until it is removed.
Many of the 'probationers' are career.

I'm not sure why you received 3 down votes. I agree with you. I'd imagine that Bondi is taking notes and forming investigation strategies. Surely, Kash has a good idea of reliable and honest FBI agents he will use to begin investigations into the corruption.
Once this happens, and facts begin to emerge there will be a line of folks willing to cooperate with investigators for plea deals.
RICO charges incoming!

This may be another way to view what Doge is doing. They are essentially "castrating" those higher fed employees so they do not have an offspring in the fed government. Those they cannot easily be eliminated are being isolated so that their power is minimized and their personal workload is increased. The goal is to either have them voluntarily leave or build "for cause" actions to terminate.

Believe it or not there is an annual review/ rating for each employee. Supervisors are not allowed to give everyone top reviews, they have to be "ranked" more or less. To me, it would serve them better go after anyone who has a low appraisal or on a PIP (yes that exists).
Well, what if DEI supervisors were doing the rankings?

In my experience, the productive employees were hard to hide bc everyone else is so useless.
When the higher ups come down on your supervisor for hard questions, they bring their ace, not a token.

Can you give them a little more time than just 2 weeks?
MAGA are becoming like Alabama fans during Nick Saban era
They would bitch and moan if they didn’t beat a ranked team by 30-40 points

Oh god, can you guys stop with the whole 35 trillion in debt? Trump and Republicans don’t care about this outside of when a democrat is president.
The debt has gone up with every president including trumps first go around, and now they are looking for tax cuts to significant exceed spending cuts. This will increase the debt but get a political win which is all they actually care about.

Millions of votes you say.
Well if that becomes the case the return of a bigger more powerful administrative State will be just around the corner.

Well this is BS. It's easier to give fully successful reviews to everyone than to do the paperwork to justify anything else, and alot of supervisors do just that.
I had one such supervisor that basically made up his own rules when evaluating staff to do whatever he had to to not do anymore work than necessary.

Tell that to my supervisor. I was given 5 out of 5 review and they mentioned to keep it to myself bc they cant give those out to the whole branch. They basically have a budget for each ranking tier.
