Though I'm in management I still have to make a week-end report to my superiors.

[pknopp]

I don’t recall claiming that Musk will read such reports.

But I said he wouldn't and I was called out for that so.........................

 

[BackAgain]

But I said he wouldn't and I was called out for that so.........................

Because you don’t know what he will or won’t do. But you make these grandiose claims anyway.

And n any event, they serve a purpose even if he only “reads” a select few for a selection be purpose.

Also, if might surprise you to learn that lots of bosses don’t read all the reports submitted to them. Ever hear of “staff?”

 

[daveman]

Musk isn't anyone's superior and he isn't going to read a single reply. He just wants to make people jump simply because he believes he can.

Or otherwise, a dick.

You don't get to be a billionaire without consuming all the information your employees send you.

 

[pknopp]

Because you don’t know what he will or won’t do.

In this case, yes I do.

That's conjecture and your bias talking. I'm ambivalent on these emails. I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but if I received one I could respond to it in less than five minutes. I think that's the point. If your position is worthwhile and productive you won't have a problem responding. If you have to sit there and think about what to say, well, maybe they really don't need you. I think that's what they are trying to find out. How many of these federal jobs are really needed?

Ultimately, cooperation will come down to edicts from the cabinet heads. Kash Patel already told the FBI to ignore them, so there you go. That doesn't mean another cabinet official won't instruct their departments to respond.

 

[BackAgain]

In this case, yes I do.

No. In this case, you don’t.

Just another unsupported bit of guesswork by you, mislabeled as usual.

 

[BackAgain]

Yep. It’s a fact that you’re full of shit, pknopp

 

[daveman]

Based on what? Your decades of experience as a billionaire?

 

[pknopp]

Based on what? Your decades of experience as a billionaire?

Realities.

 

[Woodznutz]

My boss answers to me since he realized that I care for his business better than he does.

 

[daveman]

Realities.

Dismissed.

 

[White 6]

You make assumptions about things you can't possibly know anything about based on your irrational hatred of Trump/Musk/MAGA. You are perfect Democrat minion.

Hmmmm. Currently 10 people work for Doge and we are talking about tens of thousands of emailed reports from every government job of any kind, and specialty, any project imaginable. It is doubtful, they will be read by anybody with a clue to the thousands of job activities out there, needed or not needed. 10 people (mostly computer geeks) is 10 people. It is certain, Elon will not read tens of thousands of reports of people justifying their jobs by reporting their accomplishments, progress, or anything else.

The ten people he has working for him are software geniuses. They can data mine the emailed responses.

They haven't done much constructive data mining, so far. That is why the one overseeing our nuclear weapons had to be rehired. That is why, the bird flu experts and monitors had to be rehired, etc, etc. So far, just cuts with unintended consequence, need immediate rethink and rehires, but looking good on FOX as actions taken to reduce "waste" whether riddle with unintended consequences due to lack of knowledge and understanding the effects of what they were doing or not.

They're tasked with a very big job. Will mistakes be made? Certainly. On the whole, they're doing fantastic work, exposing waste and corruption.

Neither you nor pk KNOWS what Musk or DOGE will read, or not read. Perhaps DOGE will employ AI programs to pre-screen emails.

We see action, but really have no idea yet. Will mistakes be made? Yep, by the thousands, it would appear, but have no idea what all they entail, either. Not possible to tell in just a couple of mad firing unexamined purges within a couple of weeks. It is real interest, the number of Republican Trump supporters, finding out they are on the lists of those to be purged, and the reaction of Republican Governors, Representatives and even Republican trump supporting Senator grieving their constituents were on the chopping block. It is going to be interesting to watch. I am certainly glad, I cannot be touched. I do kind of feel sorry for all the college students and highschool grads seeking jobs and careers in the private sector, now facing unparallel competition from displace government employees with years of experience and work history vs nothing but a new diploma.

Government employment has never been guaranteed for life. And if you want to blame someone, blame the people who let the government get so insanely bloated, not the people who are trimming the fat.

They can use AI.

Oh, yeah, man. That is what Americans want, to not even work for a human, but at the behest of an AI algorithm. Think it will catch on, and industry will adopt it, getting rid of 1st and 2nd line managers, too. What a wonderful world when everybody works for an AI to be hired or fire by algorithm. I will say, it will end supervisors and managers getting their ass kicked in parking lots by wrongly fired employees. You can't kick the shit out of an algorithm in an AI thousands of miles away, somewhere in the cloud.
