Democrat Sen. Tina Smith goes on tirade, rips ‘d–k boss’ Elon Musk over demand all federal workers answer productivity question: ‘What did you do last week?’

A Democratic senator went on a crude online tirade over Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) demand for all federal workers to answer a simple question about their productivity.

Tina Smith (D-Minn.) called the world’s richest man a “d–k boss” for orchestrating the email that went out to federal workers on Saturday with the subject line, “What did you do last week?”

Smith’s tirade comes as several government departments — including Kash Patel’s FBI — are instructing their employees not to respond to the message.

In a similar fashion to the types of sporadic requests Musk blasted out to his employees at Tesla and SpaceX, the Office of Personnel Management dished out the demand to federal workers — five bullet points with their accomplishments by 11:59 a.m. on Monday. It instructed them not to include any classified material.

Musk then publicly wrote on X that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation” — something that was not noted in the email blast. He was adamant that “the bar is very low here.”

“This is the ultimate d–k boss move from Musk – except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a d—,” Smith (D-Minn.) jabbed on X.

If these were doctors in ER that might be different. Everyone wonders as to the usefulness of Government workers.

I don’t wonder because I know it for a fact by personal observation over decades. At least half of them are useless, as in unnecessary.

Honorable Senator, Tina Smith,

That was not an appropriate comment for an Honorable Senator to make.

I read somewhere that Elon is also checking to see if the Fed employees are opening their emails.

Yes, it is sad. Our civilization lost much when so many women began talking this way.

“””I worked in aerospace for 30+ years. I had to do the same, submit weekly progress reports to my boss so he could compile his report to his manager. That’s how the real world works.”””


Ditto here. I was a manager of ten people, who were located in 8 different cities, and each week we had a conference call where they reported on what they had done the past week.

The phone call took about 15 minutes as I was not interested in long dissertations.

Its Selnick again. Well, he needs fired for advising his employees to ignore the boss. Secondly, there will be a whole lot of people who get fired. They made it simple.

I worked for a local judge for 45 years. Every Thursday morning, I better have every ordered report on his desk with copies to attorneys sent out. I didn’t have to do such reports. It was obvious if I hadn’t done the work.

I have to tell my boss every Monday morning what I did the previous week. It’s like Management 101. If simple personnel management and accountability are so horrible in DC, it’s no wonder there’s so much fraud.

Winner!

In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud.
