The fucking gall of these people. “We can’t deport these violent criminals, we need flowers!!!”
Taking 20k troops out of Europe probably for redeployment to the southern border
It’s a stealth layoff. People quit. I’m fine with it to cleanup the bloated gov workforce. Recall most of our job growth was gov jobs.
illegals are getting deported, without a bill that you rubes said was needed. Cuts are happening and we are leading with strength, not stupidity. I’m feeling really good about the pace of play so far.
There's a big difference in accountability and ability to get rid of underperformers in the private sector and the Federal government. My wife is a supervisor for a federal agency with a couple of dozen employees, about half of whom work remotely. Some of them do a great job, but most are unproductive, lazy, and do the bare minimum - if that - to collect a paycheck they aren't really earning, and her hands are tied. It's almost impossible to force them to do a better job, let alone get rid of them. Very different in the private sector.
The people who criticize us for liking Mexican restaurants are my favorite. They clearly paid no attention to how negligent they were. The “who will think about the crops” folks are a close second.
If your wife loses the great workers as I'm sure WFH is important to them. Does she feel confident with her team?
100%
Sounds like stuff that could be done at home? Not sure why the MAGA crowd is so against WFH now.
People are waiting for emails and looking for people because the people they are looking for are at home. If they were in office it would be more efficient. You can’t walk down the hall to talk to anyone anymore. Everything is an email that you wait 4 days for a simple reply. Waiting is 50% of the job because nobody is in the office
Shouldn't we use the national guard for that? Isn't the guard trained more for domestic issues than regular military units?
I suppose, I guess that falls on the leadership/management.
I doubt she'll lose the really good ones. They're committed to their job and do great work no matter whether it's in the office or from home. The lazy useless ones will either have to step up their game when forced to head to the office, or will quit when they can no longer get a paycheck for watching TV at home.
I would be willing to bet she loses minimum 25% of her WFH staff. Specially if they were hired as WFH.
Zoom meetings are generally the worst and I do 50% of mine with the camera off.
How many trillions do you want to bet this administration will add to the deficit?
Nobody's against people having a good work/life balance. We're against those who abuse WFH to do little or no actual work when not directly supervised.
The best part is everyone acting like it’s their right to WFH. Some complain that they will now need to get a babysitter. That’s the best considering they were supposed to be working and not babysitting their kids. lol
Okay yes we can all agree with that, why not single out those people? Why punish the whole government workforce? Form a lazy work department and go after these employees and deport them to the unemployment line.
So you have a part time job? (Rhetorical question). Government is trying to be efficient. In your example, why pay you a full time wage if your job only requires 2-4 hours per day? I’m not a huge fan of an hourly wage and calling things full time or part time but this is the very thing they are trying to fix. Being a well oiled machine in most cases cannot operate efficiently with a bunch 2-4 hour workers.
Seems reasonable to use the guard.
Foot the bill OR give us Greenland. I think the case is that is critically important in the future and Denmark is not positioned to use it strategically and we are. Denmark is also not exactly an important or relevant partner, so they should let people who know how to land rockets use it.
That’s easy money.
