You know what Musk and Trump did all week? They waged a war on Americans while taking their tax dollars. Then they invented enemies for Americans. Undermined oversight of our nuclear arms. Invented the unemployed. And we paid for it all.

You should follow @nicholasbednar.bsky.social who doesn’t think non-response to this email will count as a voluntary resignation. (In the replies he clarifies that this applies regardless of which day of the week the email ultimately gets sent.)

they should all reply "Did my job"

The emails Musk mentioned just started going out! Deadline Monday night. This is so stupid.

They are causing mental stress to millions of people, and it won't end well. I pray desperate people don't choose to check out permanently. Trump’s cruelty has already caused the death of a child of immigrants bullied other kids.😡

There are many terrible things about this email and its genesis and “approx.” is one of them

DOGE has jumped the shark.

Numeral 5 is another one, as is lower case cc with no colon.

I wish non-govt Americans understood OPM. They handle so much I can't explain it. They help employees with benefits and retirement and health insurance and changing jobs or moving to another state. They constantly communicate w/employees & retirees....they keep the govt organized and functioning.

gia-dea.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Eff him. No one is going to read any of that. Just fire me already, a-hole.

emptywheel.bsky.social•7 hours ago

You're obsessed with that too?

ericcolumbus.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It’s amazing.

I’m also caught up in “manager” - I was only a fed for a year but we always said “supervisor.” I didn’t have a manager, I wasn’t folding clothes at the GAP…

altscience.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I have to say that nothing about this, from the syntax/language used to the entire "missing the mark" concept and lack of originality, is improving my opinion of Musk's cognitive abilities.

I would pen a fkn EPIC in response.

bobd123.bsky.social•6 hours ago

That's where I would have written some smart-ass comment and got fired.

media-bargain.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I believe this is why. He can’t receive classified information.

fluffynovacat.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Since Trump won't fill one out does that mean he resigns.

jdc-j.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Got the kids to school on time, paid my mortgage, got an oil change, took the dog to vet, booked a vacation.

txlawyer.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Everyone on vacation is getting fired now.

• Managed to last the week
• Managed not to kidnap any of the DOGE kids locking them in a utility closet
• Did plant hair & sputum in all food found in DOGE breakroom
• Made some killer memes to keep up team morale
• Nearly finished my power point presentation on sabotage tactics in the workplace

You could literally end just about any post these days with "This is so stupid"

altscience.bsky.social•7 hours ago

They literally abbreviated the word "approximately".

And no, it didn't specify accomplishments at work.

I cleaned my house.

altscience.bsky.social•7 hours ago

And note they avoided the "resignation" threat.

katmcs.bsky.social•7 hours ago

This is so f##king stupid m

smileywiley.bsky.social•8 hours ago

When they say "shortly," it means it's not happening. And someone please tell fed employees who are thinking of taking the bogus "buy out" that CONGRESS has appropriated no funds for such a thing.

eaaddd.bsky.social•8 hours ago

What about Feds on leave?

desarrayed.bsky.social•7 hours ago

The “opt out” of employment status

What could go wrong?

jholston.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Pretext for more firings

stroligus.bsky.social•8 hours ago

And he’s doing to our country exactly what he did with Twitter. Tanking both.

ceanothus1910.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Some federal employees don’t have a work phone or computer. So he’s just going to fire wildland firefighters and people who work in the field? He’s so brilliant 🙄

sensibletexan.bsky.social•7 hours ago

DOUCHE needs to fill it out too.

gynostar.bsky.social•6 hours ago

He's not a federal employee though

nagonthelake.bsky.social•4 hours ago

This is insane.

If government employees don't work weekends, why would they access email? Are they even allowed to access their email?

gchernack.bsky.social•7 hours ago

My suggested response: I made many calls and had many meetings.

contra-karen.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Approx. 5 bullets:
• I worked from early in the morning.
• I worked until late in the evening.
• I made many calls.
• I had many meetings.

gchernack.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Love it

periodictweet.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Including federal judges?

mglovesfun.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Did he email Trump?

periodictweet.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Oh now I see this, so maybe not this time. https://bsky.app/profile/nicholasbednar.bsky.social/post/3lhkhf225qk23

martina47.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Just another step to convince people that federal workers are hand over hand all day.

suffraga.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Just so we are clear: Jamie Dimon's JPMorgan Chase can NEVER hire one Elon Musk as a "cost-cutting" expert. Yet, the same Jamie Dimon wants to label Musk as "Einstein". What a garland show of hypocrisy!
