Okay, let’s really tweak this. For the third time, mandate that each Federal employee write out in cursive:
1) their job title
2) their job description
3) what they have done that relates to #1 and #2.
I think this is Round 3, actually. The whining about Round 1 resulted in a 2- or 3-day extension (Round 2). Now this.
Trump has got to stop backing down. Just do the thing.
Another poster on this thread mentions them responding in cursive. I LOVE that. LOL!
Anyone know the results of the first go round?
I hear a lot of noise and whining but were there the required responses?
Civil Service employees are not used to being held accountable.
This is how it should have been handled in the first place. They should have come from the heads of the agencies themselves. Just like management in each department doing an internal job evaluation report. The accountability and responsibilities of each head should have been respected in the chain of command because it is their butts on the line. It is a job evaluation of their position and leadership also so it should have gone through them down the chain.
A watch commander is directly responsible and accountable for all those under him on his watch.
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.
Put them all on Clockify, or some similar software. All working time need to be reported and explained; for hourly people, the hours reported equals the hours paid.
HOORAY President Trump. HOORAY Elon Musk.
How many chances to these losers get? Fire all of those who haven’t responded, problem solved.
I have trouble relating - on any given day over my 24 years in uniform and 15 years as a DOD Civilian, I could have listed 5 tasks I had accomplished most days before lunch...
Just a thought, but I worked for 45 years straight before I retired. I was never fired, laid off, demoted, or had a pay cut. I also was never too busy to do what my boss told me to do.
At several companies I worked for, EVERYONE was required to list their accomplishments weekly, forever.
Deal with it. It’s normal.
Good thread. Proud of the folks who stood up for reporting five measley things in less than 5 minutes and being proud in their role of being part of the solution and not the problem. Anybody who couldn’t or wouldn’t was a Kamala voter. Full stop.
“It’s unclear how national security agencies will handle the second email.”
Taking my years as an intel analyst on active Army duty and later as an Army historian and chief of archives, I would just list what was in my weekly report to my supervisor; for example: X number of classified documents read; Y number of classified documents that I prepared written summaries and filed; number of meetings attended; hours spent debriefing intelligence assets; and list the number of “Mandatory training” classes on various topics completed; topics to include: protection of classified documents, building and personnel security, sexual orientation appreciation training, co-worker cultural assimilation and respect training, sexual harassment (prevention) training, and etcetera for the 20 to 40 hours per month of mandatory training that was required.
