Lucky them.
Most of my jobs in graphics depts of investment banks demanded I explain what I did with all of my hours, updated regularly throughout every day.
They paid me nicely, nice bonus, great benefits.
They were the bosses.
So I did it.
It never occurred to me to be outraged.
What about those hired by contractors to the Federal government who are sitting at home not being held accountable. The more they say they work, the more the contractor gets from the Feds I have been told.
Which is reasonable. If you’re not front counter, where the number of people you have served is evident then you should have a goals set and goals accomplished sheet.
The low hanging fruit will be the federal employees who write in Kamala Harris word salad.
The good writers will be much harder to catch.
90% of what DoD does is sensitive information. It’s not going to tell them anything when that’s my response tomorrow.
To whom, who checks this and what do they do with this. And what is the ultimate purpose.
Sounds a lot of bureaucratic, micromanagement busy work.
If so, they just might be talented, clever and crafty enough to put to good use.
We had that daily log on one government job. Same as yesterday didn’t work. Was glad when it was over. A waste of time.
1. Opened email
2. Read email
3.Thought about what I did
4. Typed response
5. Sent email
Now when do I get a raise?
There is very little reason to have outside contractors. The fact is 80% of government workers accomplish much while the other 20% are overworked.
and who will verify the lies
There will soon be a liquid 8-ball for this.
Taught for 32 years and it was just part of the job to submit detailed lesson plans for the week. Depending on how well the students were able to learn the material and unplanned interruption such as snow days, I usually accomplished those goals.lesson
Should be don’t accomplish much
When I worked for defense contractors in the Mideast, I had to send in weekly “what I did this week” reports. We all did. It was no big deal.
I don’t know if the govvies over there had to send in reports.
Says who? The Right Angle News Network, which I never heard of before seens to be short on news.
When I was working, all of my time was billed to as many as 40 individual projects per week. Timekeeping required an itemized list, so I setup a spreadsheet with a macro that prorated my time across all active projects then submitted the results. It kept me from being “overhead” and a layoff target. I retired 5 years ago.
I was in technical chemical sales. I had daily “Reports.” A lot of information was transmitted daily. No set numbers but if you slack off, it becomes apparent quickly.
That is a tough one.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
You get the easy ones gone first—and then slog through the rest of the bureaucracy—one division at a time, one supervisor at a time.
