@clfdfinest@MattWalshBlog I’ve been on here too long and I have to get up early in the morning to work for you. What was said initially was low performers would be let go. Very good performers in my group are being threatened to be fired but they still are working hard with that hanging over their head.
@Logic_n_Data@MattWalshBlog Agree some are. We could cut that job and let people have dignity if they were not fraudulent even. Is it right to post vid of somebody having a meltdown and pile on and attack them? What good will all of this red wave do if we lose in the midterms because of this?
@Shiney_P@MattWalshBlog My point in all of this was to explain to people that my small group and groups like ours do try to tackle waste and inefficiency and we are basically being blown apart by all of this. Defense contractors are loving this they know that our own government we represent mocks us.
No, that is silly. Of course an email doesn’t make people miserable. Go scroll through all of his posts and like-minded posts and comments. Read everybody piling on about how if you’re a federal worker you’re a worthless piece of shit a leach a parasite there’s only so much of that people can take.
@tscottwood@MattWalshBlog But it’s not that they can’t some maybe can’t. My group and others don’t know what to do because they see all of this stuff on social media and they think they’re the butt of a joke. Or it’s just a trap. Squid game.
Because I’ve been through similar things before in other admins. And because my team agreed we weren’t because everything is presented as a game on social media first nothing is presented seriously. Anything we wrote would probably be used just to mock and make fun of us in a post.
@JamesDitto12@MattWalshBlog I’m afraid you’re right. That’s why I’m so out of character tonight talking to people I don’t know when I should be doing laundry.
@MarkWilliams862@jeff_ruff@CaitlinLitz@MattWalshBlog if people who do your performance appraisals know what you do know your value and like what you do tell you to be cautious about responding and you already find a disconnect between what was posted on X about the email and what was in the actual email you might think differently.
@BulldogBane@MattWalshBlog It’s numbers game. Elon super smart spreadsheet guy. He has a number they want to get to that’s the goal. Voluntary resignations have taken after first insult shot. Probationary even if they’re good getting axed. Now it’s make everybody miserable as possible so they quit.
DOGE is necessary, but it was not necessary to disrupt everybody with an X posts, drag everyone online, make fun of them call them all a collective bunch of parasites idiots and leeches. I know Elon didn’t say all that in one post but many conservative pundits do use that terminology and EM seems to be intentionally hazing.
@Votedoesntcount@MattWalshBlog I can manage doing an email, but I don’t think you saw my other comments. I’ve been chitchatting on here forever and if you’re working in the sewage industry, thank you my hat tip to you. I’ve helped clean our septic filter. That’s about my experience.
@Gr8ter_is_He@MattWalshBlog The way this has played out and what it’s done to people is not above board. I’m more upset about the stress I see my coworkers and mgt in than me. I’ve been laid off too. It’s a stinky feeling, but I’ve never been part of this.
@James__3213@MattWalshBlog I have to give weekly sometimes even more than that status updates, but it’s in my one-on-ones with my leadership and the contracting officers that I support. Not to a man I don’t know who makes fun of me on X.
@JamesDitto12@MattWalshBlog Good points. I said somewhere i cant find but so many federal workers live in red states and swing states. Trump’s appealing to base with DOGE methods now but needs independents. Repubs have such slim margins in house and senate, people cannot sit home.
@JamesDitto12@MattWalshBlog So answer me this because I have a theory. Some of those people having meltdowns could be real, but don’t you think some of them are fake? it’s so easy to post one of those and say look at this leftist and get a bunch of comments and likes?
