Trump Has Harsh Response to Federal Workers Losing Jobs

[Independent thinker]

A reporter asked the president what responsibility he felt for the civil servants who had lost their jobs during Wednesday’s Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.

“I feel very badly, but many of them don’t work at all,” Trump replied just one day after cutting nearly half of the Education Department’s staff,

”Many of them never showed up to work. Many of them, many of them never showed up to work," he repeated.

The president insisted that the job cuts are targeted at “the people that aren’t working or are not doing a good job,” a message echoed by the department’s Secretary, Linda McMahon.

“What we did today was to take the first step of eliminating what I think is bureaucratic bloat,” she said after announcing the staff cuts.

Trump and his billionaire buddy Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have fired tens of thousands of federal employees in their crusade to reduce the size of the government and weed out “waste.”

The world’s richest man has repeatedly suggested that federal workers are not working hard enough, even though The Washington Post found that federal workers usually work an average of 43 hours a week, the most of any class of worker.

How do you know someone is not doing their job when you don't even know what their job is?

They had their chance to email Musk back saying the five things they did last week. If they couldn't think of five then apparently they don't do anything.

The arrogance is amazing, I bet your attitude would change quick if you went to work tomorrow and they told you to take a hike.

The arrogance to think one is secure in the role for life is amazing. This is the 2020s .. please catch up!

He'd most likely use AI to read, decipher and collate the emails into various categories .. you know .. things that smart people do to work smarter, and not harder.

These people are american citizens and should be treated respectfully. Middle class people just trying to survive like everyone else. In no way an enemy.

The Leaner Meaner Business Plan was developed in the 1940's ... To accommodate for WW II.
It became more popular during the 70's and 80's ... And is practically Law in Modern Business and Corporate Structure.

There is an exception in Modern Businesses or Corporations that surrendered to the Woke Ideology ...
And started programs that were focused more on Social Engineering ... Than their products or services.

However, it has never been true ... In the Federal Government ... And not a lot in any Union Shops either.
Leaner-Meaner is completely counterproductive towards the idea of excusing the incompetent and the weakest links.

It's not popular with most people ... Because most people suck ...
But it is very productive for those who want to be valuable to their employers ... And reap the benefits of that.
