The people who respond will affirm they don't stand for d,e, or i and Elon's AI algorithm will ctrl+alt+f those words and fire all those who use it, and then they'll realize they were only firing Elon stans, and try to walk it all back.
lmao this motherfucker - can he just pull a Belushi and mix the wrong things together in his eternal chemical fugue state so we can get started dismantling his ridiculous "empire" yet?
alternatively, malicious compliance, they could send overly detailed descriptions of everything they did down to the finest minutia, cause i dont think musk's even expecting anyone to respond, so it would be really funny if this backfired spectacularly, and he was absolutely inundated with responses
Is it efficient to have someone or a group of people read all of those? Should the claims therein be investigated, and would that be efficient as well?
Are we done pretending this is about efficiency?
"My work is classified. You do not have a security clearance. You have been referred to the Inspector General for illegally attempting to access classified information."
This is similar to what happened at Twitter, when he took over. But in that case, he evaluated people based on how many lines of code they had written during a set period of time.
Which meant that he FIRED the best people, and kept less skilled people on because he didn't know anything about coding
🌍 is laughing @🇺🇸 & Co Pres Trump & Musk. My brother is a dedicated & demoralized Fed.
The reply email inbox for “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, non feds, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere w/ their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit
Respond with "complied with" The Tasks and Standards for that particular job, and then attach the tasks and standards. Further state you can not detail it on an unsecured transmission and privacy laws restrict it.
Maybe they're trying to find out what workers actually do.
They think if an employee says "I did ●A●B●C●D" then next week they can replace him with a Trump loyalist who is told to get in there and do ●A●B●C●D.
They really think humans are interchangeable cogs. We are, but not THAT interchangeable.
Employees will receive an email "requesting to understand what they got done last week"??
It's not even worded properly; how can any employee ensure that the sender can "understand" what they did? Particularly if the sender is too stupid to properly word an email to begin with.
WTaF. 🤦 I am MADE of questions about the logistics of this. (Pretending, for a moment, that it's in earnest and not just more chaos within which to hide an agenda.)
This screams middle manager who was hired in another department and has no idea what anyone actually does and just presumes, then, that it's nothing.
If Elon didn't inherit wealth I wouldn't hire him to mow my lawn.
I phrased that odd. I'm not hiring a rich Elon to mow my lawn, either. I just mean that he's clearly incompetent. It's just that he started with enough money to buy connections and it takes money to make money.
Now I predict the future: someone is going to send the largest possible AI generated list of things a human could do. Like minute by minute. That person will get fired and we'll know about it from a lawsuit. You heard it here first.
PS - I predicted Red, White, and Blue land weeks ahead of time.
JFC. This is dumber than the Twitter print out the code you're working on thing.
Somehow this has to stop. There has to be a hero. I'm not talking about violence, but there has to be a method to stop order this. Maybe the news owners realize if the US collapses, that might affect them.
I wonder if they consider service members to be federal employees in this situation
Would be really funny to discharge like 1/3 of service members because they either hardly check their email or can’t reasonably explain why counting antennas 3x/week is necessary for natsec
"Requesting to understand" just means "give me responses and I'll keyword filter those to determine firings blindly and call it 'performance'." Little difference from how many VC-picked raiders do it.
Unfortunately, federal unions are prohibited by law from striking or work stoppage or even picketing if it "interferes with the operations of a federal agency."
Those same contracts also prevent them from being "fired" capriciously even by a legitimate administration, much less by some afrikaaner saboteur working for an illegitimate fake president.
While I agree with your conclusion, the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute has prohibited federal strikes since '78. It is why we haven't seen any.
Musk's mass firings likely violate employment contacts, and this email proposal is causing every employment lawyer to laugh.
I get what you're saying, but at some point if one party unilaterally violates a contract without repercussions, the contract was obviously never binding to begin with, and no other party in it will (or should) feel obligated to follow it anymore.
Perhaps just as importantly, doing this via email keeps Elon in the driver seat and pressures the individual, however announcing openly he is doing this gives all federal employees the notice they are not alone.
He's betting the federal workforce that everyone will respond.
"i don't like your attitude little man i need you to sit on this chair until you understand what you did wrong"
give power to a man child he'll use like a kid scolding an adult and abuse like a tool he doesn't understand how it's used
Besides how asinine this obviously is, do many salaried government workers have timesheets? In professional services, we have to enter by client serviced with detail on what was done to a 1/4 hour. Also: we hate doing our time entry. I'd guess this doesn't apply to work that doesn't involve billings
So not just "explain", but everything hinges on elmo and his ghouls actually understanding what they are told about things they know nothing about. Marvelously stupid.
It’s the same bullshit he did to Twitter employees. He even made them print out … PRINT OUT!…thousands of lines of their code to bring to their meetings with him to “prove” that they had been busy working.
I imagine that this is how Musk treats employees at X, Tesla or SpaceX. But these federal workers aren't his. They have dedicated a career to all of us. The senseless intimidation and mistreatment of federal workers must stop.

Please - do amplify his ability to achieve zero.

People - those who do the actual work - has the power - but are mostly not billionaires...
America has always been incredibly anti labor.
The government is already in breach.

They should not.

Form letters cut both ways.
The "if things are not failing you're not trying hard enough" strategy is dumb for a tech start-up, but an apocalyptic one for a government to pursue:
People better wake the fuq up.
