> 20 #civilservice #employees #resigned Feb 25 from #billionaire #Trump adviser #Musk #DOGE saying they were refusing 2 use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve #American people and uphold our oath to the #Constitution across #presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by AP. “ However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.” apnews.com/article/doge-elon-m

DOGE at the IRS
thebulwark.com/i/157318856/dog

"DOGE fired—with no real review, no notice, and no transition period—one in five of the #federal employees who manage our #nuclear stockpile. Maybe we don’t need all those #employees currently working at the National Nuclear Security Administration? Maybe we need more? Maybe their duties should be reorganized in some way or another?

I don’t know. Neither does #DOGE."

Headline and text from article: Headline: DOGE at the IRS by William Kristol Text: It’s Presidents’ Day. But because Donald Trump is currently our president, today we have this headline in the Washington Post: “Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS.” The Post story explains that “Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.” What could go wrong? Well, what hasn’t gone wrong? As University of Michigan political scientist Don Moynihan writes, “Musk and DOGE are providing a real-time management case study. Unfortunately, all of the lessons are about what not to do.” After all, last week DOGE fired—with no real review, no notice, and no transition period—one in five of the federal employees who manage our nuclear stockpile. Maybe we don’t need all those employees currently working at the National Nuclear Security Administration? Maybe we need more? Maybe their duties should be reorganized in some way or another? I don’t know. Neither does DOGE. So, when experts and the public and Congress reacted negatively to the firings, DOGE scrambled to reinstate the employees. Unfortunately, having canceled their email accounts, DOGE had difficulty getting in touch with the people they’d fired in order to un-fire them.

#DOGE Federal #Job Cuts Threaten #Republican #MAGA Districts Too, workers #ElonMusk seeks to cut are everywhere, including in politically #red areas. While DC and its surrounding suburbs are known for their concentration of #government workers, the reality is that America’s 2.3 million #federal #employees (not including uniformed military or #Postal Service workers) are scattered across the country. This is a no brainer but we are in tsunami meant to cause permanent harm wsj.com/politics/policy/federa

#ElonMusk tasked by #Trump to slash the size of the 2.2M civilian govt #workforce, has installed allies at the agency known as the #OPM.

2 ofcls, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of #retaliation, said some snr career #employees at OPM have had their access revoked to some of the dept's data systems.

The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains DOBs, SSNs, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades & length of service of govt workers…

I have 2 thoughts about this article on worker sentiment going into the new year.

(1) I switched from being a people manager to being an IC in September. The reasons they outline in the article fit my thinking really well. The same day I lost all my directs was the same day Andy Jassy announced Amazon would have 15% fewer managers. I was like “One step ahead of you, Andy.”

(2) it’s classic dumb one-sided employee sentiment analysis that treats workers like an observable phenomenon and doesn’t look at employer behavior at all. They even talk about “worker frustration” leading to “revenge quitting.” Frustration with what? No one knows. “Revenge” is a strong word. What was so bad that workers could want “revenge” for it? We don’t even ask, much less answer that question. I guess it’s not important.

That position you just applied for might be a '#ghostjob' that'll never be filled
Turns out it's perfectly legal to waste applicants' time, use posts to squeeze more productivity out of #employees
If you didn't hear back about that great-looking tech position you applied for, it might not be because there were too many applicants scrambling to find a #job amid rolling layoffs. There's a distinct possibility the posting was fake to begin with.
