On one hand, firing a bunch of federal employees will save virtually nothing of our federal budget yet decimate our ranks. On the other hand, we cannot go years without passing audits and have no accountability, that hurts public trust.
good. sounds like most workplaces
i bet ai can sort that data and put it into a consumable fashion.
Thanks for being reasonable yourself on this. Too many people are acting like it’s the worse thing ever.
It's not accountability when you arbitrarily fire probationary employees without any federal protections just because you can, many of whom haven't had enough time to even prove themselves as workers yet you can just label them as poor performers
Just do what Muskrat and The Donald would do! Make some sh!t up!
I'd say Trump and Musk do more in one week than you do in one year.
Go back to the putting green. You need practice.
With all due respect, what was your reply? Assuming of course any response will be fact checked by Elon. 😬
Have you ever run a company or been in a position of leadership at one? Your comment suggests not.
Pine I didn't get the email but it's only because I was fired a week ago for being probationary.
Both the State Department and the FBI have told their employees to ignore the email.
Layoffs happen every day among federal agencies too. No one has a problem with that normal model.
Don’t think it is true that layoffs happen everyday in federal agencies. There have been periods when there were layoffs (not many) but these are rare. I think it is fair to criticize the way the layoffs are occurring. There is a human element to this that many on my side don’t want to recognize, but the government had become bloated and it is true that almost everyone in corporate America has to go through periods where they are either laid off or subject to layoffs.
Fed employees are fired every day for normal reasons analogous with those let go in the private sector. I let 3 go last year. They deserved it. I still spent time following protocols necessary to do so.
What would you say you do here? Sorry, but about every company does this.
I am afraid you will have to accept this.
Haha….thanks Athens! Of course. That’s what national service is all about. Accept the BS, keep your head down, and focus on completing your mission.
That’s the way civil service works keep on keeping on Miss.
I have, have ran a couple of companies before. Actually took over one of them once they filed chapter 11. Had them profitable within a year and a half - then sold them off.
Well, some may get hired back. I used to work for an engineering firm that would layoff people on Friday and have an ad for people in Sunday’s paper. Or near enough. This wholesale layoff business may uncover some holes in their plan. I used to think, my god, they laid off advanced degreed people and they kept me! But you’re right. A business needs many different skills, at the right pay grade, to work effectively. Maybe this holds true for the government
Not surprised, use to be and probably still is that way. Legally, you had to do it if you’re replacing the same position.
Good luck Pine.
You think too many federal employees were hired under Biden? More federal employees were employed during the 50s (almost as many), 60s, 70s, 80s, & 90s than exist today.
In that thread most had great personal sympathy for you, but still supported DOGE. Don't know how that is toxic.
