It’s simple. Do what Governor Scott did in Florida. He had every employee write down what they did. Astonishingly, quite a few couldn’t. Some of these were in highly compensated positions. Scott fired them. (The employee I got this from was caught between outrage that he had to describe his job and glee that several of his many superiors were now gone.)

We tried passing a law that would allow the emergency manager to fire people at will (Including city council members). Unfortunately we’re stuck with the old emergency manager law.

The emergency manager for the Detroit public schools was far more effective. He stopped mailing checks to school employees and made them come take the checks from his hand. He found nearly 300 employees who didn’t exist but were getting paychecks.

Amazing. I am required to write detailed plans of how I am to spend every minute of every workday, and have them ready anytime my boss wants to look at them. And so are everyone of my colleagues. And the cops can’t report a summary of their day?

Sounds like that classic scene in Office Space where John C. McGinley is debriefing that Systems Analyst.

"SO.......what is it you'd say.......you DO here????"
