Just ignore him. He isn't in charge of DOGE, right GOP?
Edit: what the fuck power does DOGE have anyway? The president doesn't have the right to unilaterally create a random department without a congressional vote.

Just say you saved $55 billion dollars.
Nobody on their team is capable of doing the math to check.
This is how someone who has no idea how to manage output or productivity thinks you should manage output and productivity.
My manager, a CFO in a startup was like this. He implemented it, making us write down everything we did. And so I did. In details. Spent more time writing the report than working. Left the company 6 weeks after implementation. Then they needed 3 people to replace me HAHAHA fuck you Lena and Michael!
He's going to bog them down by making them account for their actions. Then when productivity goes down he will either fire the worker or shutter the department.
We’ve already been instructed to ignore it. 😆
Ah he's back on that "show me the lines of code you wrote" trip
Guy who does nothing demands to know how workers spend their time.
Same thing he did with twitter employees. Micromanaging is one of the worst traits a manager can have.
"I have people skills!! What the hell is wrong with you people!?"
Sounds like a good time to make some shit up.
I'm sure they'll just toss them into some ai program to evaluate. Probably can't be bothered to even evaluate the results themselves.
You show me yours and I'll show you mine, Elon.
I'm so torn about this as an activity. Telling my bosses what I've accomplished each week has been part of my regular work for 2 decades - so this doesn't feel like an unreasonable request and I'm a bit surprised the info is not at the ready. But Musk is absolutely the wrong person to make the request and any decisions based on the information received.
I saw patients this past week. Like I do every week. That is my one bullet point. I still need 4 more bullet points??? This is ridiculous. I'm doing my job, that I have been asked to do. He doesn't know what my job is. The AI they are going to feed my answer through doesn't know what my job is. The people who do know what my job is know that I am doing it just fine. We already have an evaluation system that I have to sign every 6 months and submit bullet points with.
My supervisor, and their supervisors, are now going to have meetings about us responding. Then we are going to be told in meetings about how to respond. Then I spend some arbitrary amount of time responding. Do you have any idea how much combined time across the entire government is being waisted on this? This is literally millions of dollars in total time waisted just for the whims of a mad man. This is a prime example of wasting tax dollars.
It is shit leadership if your supervisors don't know what you do (this is like a massive pet peeve of mine - that's like literally their only job). And, possibly to your point, if your leadership can't articulate what your team is doing, it puts your job at risk, when really they should be removing layers of management. But all of this is beside the point, because Musk shouldn't be the one doing it.
This information is at the ready — for the people who actually need to know it (i.e., the actual chain of command, not self-appointed billionaires of made up departments).
I don't work there, so I have no idea if the info is readily available (I hope it is for the sake of efficiency of our agencies). But, to your point, it shouldn't be sent to Musk.
I mean you assume it's being sent to Musk. We don't actually know. It's not a secured government email. Who fucking knows where it's going or who's seeing it.
I thought that as well. My guess is they do, but you're right it should not be a request coming from him, and it absolutely shouldn't be in a threatening manner either. I'm assuming many don't want to respond because they aren't even sure if this should be allowed. Of course, many are quickly realizing everything is allowed now.
dealt with the barrage of official and unofficial edicts trying to verify which ones are lega.
