Yep. Sure is. Because I don’t post here, social media , or anywhere else. I come here for information. What pissed me off is how people on here talk about federal employees like you do. That gets personal for me because my family is dealing with this directly and some people don’t have a clue what they are talking about when it comes to all this. Simple Task? Seriously? YOU miss the entire point of what the problem here is. Allow me to enlighten you. As a business owner I am responsible for every person that works for me. I have managers that report directly to me and they have people that report directly to them. Each manager should do a report explaining what each employee did the previous week and turn it in to their supervisor. Each manager should know what each employee is doing. What pisses me off is not the report. It’s the complete boneheaded way of going about this entire process. For 2 brilliant men like Elon and Trump, the way they are going about this layoff is about as bad as it could be handled. Sure for you it is great because you want government shrunk and I 100% agree it needs to be, but knowing from the inside and seeing how poorly its being done pisses me off because it makes them look completely incompetent. There are MANY things about this situation that unless you’re a government employee going through this YOU have NO clue what is really happening behind the scenes. I do and it could and should be/been handled so much better. BTW…. Nice link to your little post. Shows how out of sink and narrow minded you are. This is EXACTLY why I don’t post anywhere. Try to make a point and smartass keyboard warriors like yourself want to chime in when they don’t have a clue.
And before you all start your BS, she works for Dept of Veterans affairs. Directly responsible for veterans getting health care they deserve. They are already short staff and underpaid. Most of them could go to chick-fil-a and make more per hour
Anyone who thinks this shit show is a good idea is a moron. I’m 100% on board for drug testing and fire anyone who fails. This last email about “list 5 things you’ve done this last week” looks like a Mickey Mouse show. If you want people to justify their job then do it the proper way. Have the supervisor justify each person that works under them. That starts at first level all the way to the top. I’ve been on the Trump train since 2015 but this shit show it ridiculous. Maybe I’m just mad because my wife is a gov employee and I see how hard her department works and now has to deal with this shit while you all talk about gov employees and how they don’t do anything. I been MAGA from the beginning but listing to you assholes making me rethink it. I’m on board with so much that is going on but the way they are handling this is stupid. I really thought DJT was better business man than this
I have never really bought into the idea that someone is wearing a mask and pretending to be Joe Biden until now. This picture removes all doubt.
Yep. I absolutely know that. I also know the union makes it very difficult on how things have to be done. Let me begin by saying that I’m 100 on board with shrinking the size of gov. Everyone they have laid off that has been in their probationary period I get it. That’s business. No problem here from that side. Where my issue comes in when the resignation buyout was offered, there was absolutely NO information offered. They just threw that out there. She has over 30 people that report to her. She is getting questions asked to her that when she passes up the chain and even to HR the answer was “we don’t know” or HR actually said “ Tell them that if that accept the buyout we will get answers at that time”. That’s unacceptable. Some of these people have 20 plus years in a career and deserve to be able to get some simple answers to questions before making a life altering decision not after. They were offered the buyout. Then received an email stating that due to the essential nature of their job they couldn’t get the buyout. Then the next time they heard about it was LITERALLY the day the judge ruled in favor of Trump and allowed the buyout to continue. Then magically they received an email stating they in fact could take it. The problem is that email came at 6:18 pm. Which is after hours so no one knew it until the next morning and the deadline was at 7pm. They went from offer being off the table to being able to get it and they have to decide that in 42 minutes after hours when their gov computer is at the office.
Then you have the matter of the “list 5 things you did this week”. That in itself is no big deal but how bout let each supervisor write that for each employee (which would put more work on supervisors such as my wife but would make it much more legit). The managers job is to manage their employees and know what they doing so let them do the reports. Now when they realize that out of so many under you that really only half are being productive now we know how many to cut. Much better than letting every person bullshit their way through it trying to save their job.
Sorry for the long reply just a lot to be said. I could go on and on with more but I’ve drug it out long enough. Lastly tho…. The unfortunate part of this is while there are ALOT of useless people in gov that need to be gone, there are a lot of good hardworking people also there that are getting caught up in this mess and lives are being affected by it. Not ours because either way we’ll be fine but other people I know won’t be.
