DOGE and Elon Musk have ZERO executive authority.

They can only gather information and advise President Trump and other Executive Officers.

Welcome to the real world. Twice I’ve been called into the office and not even given the opportunity to prove my worth before being let go due to a corporate reorganization.

Once after being employed for eighteen years. I did get a nice “go Away” check but my career ended that day.

My sympathy for these useless bureaucrats is solidly pegged at zero. Learn to code

Canned answer that I give permission for the employees to use:

Q. “What would you say you do here”

A. I’m an essential worker keeping the American economy on track for growth by online shopping at work. I drink coffee and read online newspapers that cost $10,000 per subscription in furtherance of the 1srt amendment. Got a bonus last year for having to read that drivel.

As a contractor, I’ve been cut loose with no warning. I’ve had contracts ended prematurely with only a day or two of warning, etc. It happens. Companies restructure. They move things around to different divisions. They decided to cut costs. Welcome to the real world.

15 minutes

What's interesting to me, having participated in committee analysis to determine appropriate points for downsizing, is that the inquiry is a superficial 15 minute "glance". They are not digging deep. They are scraping the surface to see those who fails to identify their purpose out of the gate. For the folks who actually work for a living, such an interview is easy to pass. They are truly just looking for the worthless bottom feeders ... and finding them by the 1000s. That's interesting ... and telling ... and infuriating.

Shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes to describe and justify what you do. I look forward to it if I haven’t retired by the time they get around to my organization. And that GSA or Labor “guy” in the video is mostly lying.

And he will VERY LIKELY follow their recommendations.

What’s your point?

I’m a people person!!

The scary part is that the answer the main character gives is more truthful than any other answer :)

Yep. I lost my last job because the GOVERNMENT called people back to the office after the COVID pandemic subsided, but I had moved to Florida. As a contractor, my company loved my work and fought to keep me on, but the GOVERNMENT wouldn’t have it, with me teleworking while others went back, so the GOVERNMENT and I were responsible for my dismissal.

So, except for certain GOVERNMENT people I know personally, I have little sympathy for these GOVERNMENT workers being made to account for their own GOVERNMENT jobs.

If you can’t explain what you do so it makes sense to a teenager, maybe you should rethink what you do?
