@elonmusk You also can't fire the whole crew in the middle of the ocean and expect them to hang by the side while you take time figuring out you can't crew a ship by yourself
@iam_smx@DDAlDNA Or...hear me out- no.
A random email demanding something of you under threat of resignation from an unauthorized account would, by any other circumstances, be identified as a form of phishing
@BrianMT406 @iam_smx opm isn't my employer. If you work for the DoD and someone within your chain of command within the DoD asks, then yes.
Otherwise, no.
@elonmusk Ironic statement during a time with "limiting government" means gutting the workers who actually work for the people without getting wealthy doing it
@elonmusk It was sent out on a Saturday. How many federal employees are not authorized to work weekends?
Please tell me you're smarter than you're acting
@MrTeslaTom @658909JJL For federal employees, it's also illegal. There are rules for terminating people. Laws even. We don't circumvent them simply bc they're inconvenient
@kristinawong Good. We don't report to or work for OPM. Im starting to wonder if this is just chest puffing, albeit with rosl to potential catastrophic impacts to real people just to prove a point
@Maskii265332421 @Debi436@nicksortor Thats just it. It IS affecting the workers. The good ones. The task is to cull the herd. Fast. Not a lot of time of analysis is going into it just "get em out". Good people are losing jobs. This is a poor way to efficiently cut our inefficiency
@nicksortor The people who ensure the training is resourced, the food services to feed troops are in place, etc.
Going after worker level employees is like tearing away at the foundation because you don't like the bell tower.
@nicksortor Im stunned by the lack of critical thinking here.
Does everyone here believe government employees are these time wasting no productivity types that just rake in big bucks?
Daycare center workers for active duty military bases are GS.
Maintenance techs for mil bases are GS....
@IngrahamAngle@PeteHegseth Firing probational workers across the board is wasteful in itself. Gs civs at the installations are working to support the warfighter. Terminating them to make some arbitrary dollar figure in savings will cost more long term. We are breaking faith with people. AGAIN.
@bennyjohnson ...and we are paying OPM to read every email and actually understand what the content of said email is?
There are PLENTY of civilians that are not authorized to discuss thier daily business...so there's that.
@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump This is the most ridiculous approach to assessing human value in the workplace I've seen
in 17 years in HR
And to think, the DoD civ workforce was one of the largest groups of Trump supporters...and most of them are tied to the military either by being vets or spouses of AD.
@SecDef @POTUS Veterans, particularly disabled veterans, and spouses of active duty military should be exempt from the firing frenzy. These people took on these jobs in good faith and kn the spirit of service. They are were encouraged by @POTUS 's EO instructing agencies to hire them.
@DeptofDefense @SecDef In the last admin @POTUS signed an EO encouraging agencies to hire mil spouses and veterans. Now, these probationary employees are comprised of mostly spouses and veterans. The audio doesn't match the video. Why are mil spouses and veterans not protected or exempt from this?
