My wife is a physician at the Veteran’s Administration. What does she do each week? She sees patients (veterans). Her appointments are in the VA computer system. She was annoyed by last week’s email coming from out of the blue.
We ought to think about whether these mass emails are accomplishing anything other than irritating federal workers, who, along with their families, do vote.
I’ve had to report on my work progress this same way for 30 years. I work in private industry. Why is it any different for Gov’t workers?
so if your doctor wife doesn’t have 5 minutes to spare to support what this administration is trying to accomplish, she wasn’t voting for conservatives anyway. only democrats are above joining the MUSKeteers and being part of the TECH SUPPORT that We the People need to be. 5 minutes is not too much to ask...right?
Sounds to me like she should have taken two minutes to write down 5 patient’s names, sent the letter, and forgot about it, rather than being put-out by the fact that someone is trying to do something to improve our Federal government.
Why make this an offending issue, when it is a legitimate request?
While annoying, I would think a doctor could recall 5 things they did the previous week. Such as see patients, write prescriptions, recommend diagnostic tests, analyze diagnostic tests and etc. While going through the chain of command would seem more appropriate, it would take months to gather all the responses and filter its way to the Doge team.
The good, productive people in government should be able to list 5 things they did easily. The stereotypes, not so much.
She can list 5 patients, their conditions, and her course of treatment. It might take 5 minutes. No problem.
A small price to pay to clear out the 50% increase in DEI hires of the last two years.
As I and others point out in this thread, weekly accomplishment reporting is normal in many private organizations. Everyone. Weekly. Forever.
Deal with it.
Huh. Women. Whattaya gonna do?
