In regards to Barry, I don't hold much empathy. It's his ******* fault we went so far left and he polluted the federal government with lefto freakshow turds.

With that being said,I'd rather deal with truths and not fiction. The truth is bad enough.
 
Yeah, the "Obamacare royalties" claim sounds very dubious. Musk's team would have revealed that tidbit if true.
 
This thread is pitiful and enlightening at the same time. I work for the federal government. My job is lifecycle logistics basically. We manage the lifecycle, primarily sustainment, of military equipment.

First off, I received the email. Nowhere in the email did it say we’d be fired if we failed to respond. I know no one that responded. No one has been fired, regardless of what the media is telling you. There’s a reason it wasn’t in the email. It’s illegal. But just keep going on believing people are being threatened via email because the media is pushing a narrative to make people angry and fearful.

Second, it’s amazing how little people know about what GS employees do. You guys have this picture in your head that we either simply don’t show up to work or show up and do absolutely nothing all day. See, I’m rarely at my desk. I am out on Fort Bragg talking to soldiers, helping them diagnose and repair weapons and weapons systems. I get to deploy with soldiers to any variety of third world **** holes so I can help them there. And as an added bonus, in roughly three weeks I get to go with 2BCT down to beautiful Fort Johnson, LA for two weeks for their JRTC rotation. While I’m there, I’ll miss my grandson’s birthday which is no big deal, and that says nothing of all the birthdays and holidays I’ve missed over the years because I was out ******* off stealing taxpayer dollars. In just a few hours, I’ll be teaching 8 SF operators how to operate the Common Remote Operated Weapons System, better known as CROWS. I’ll not only be teaching them how to operate it, but teaching them how to mount and employ the weapons that get mounted on the system. Oh, I also have certifications that I have to maintain that I pay for out of my own pocket so there’s an added perk.

Oh and all the work I do has to be logged DAILY in a system called LAP360 that has visibility as high as the SECDEF’s office. Does he look at it? Probably not. But it’s there if he gets bored or is curious about what his workforce is up to on a given day.

Are there employees not pulling their weight or screwing around? Sure. Absolutely. But to act like all of us are the same person sitting in some office in DC wasting time and money is insulting. It gets old being pigeonholed like that.

Well said.
In regards to Barry, I have zero empathy.

Taking this country to the extreme left which is exactly what he meant by saying he would fundamentally transform this nation.

100% agree with you on this, Sarge. If I made any comments that used a broad brush, I apologize. I served with many hard-working GS employees who were critical to the mission and never want to dishonor their, and your, continued service this country.

The threat of being fired may not be in your email, and it’s not about media misinformation, it’s exactly what Musk is saying in his posts.
He has yet to deny or retract his threat.
 
Posted on FB by my cousin:

Another BIDEN BOONDOGGLE revealed in Pecos, Texas! A Biden transition team member and a former ICE employee in early 2021 formed a NGO Family Endeavors to house overflow housing primarily for unaccompanied migrant children.
Biden paid this NGO 18 MILLION a month since March 2024 despite the facilify being EMPTY! DOGE has stepped in and stopped this fraud and waste. This action has saved taxpayers 215 million annually.

I love my job. I was a Soldier for 98% of my adult life. I love to be around Soldiers, and I get to do that with this job. There's some rotten **** in it for sure, but the good far outweighs the bad.

No need to apologize. I just don't think people understand what some of us do and think all of us are overpaid do-nothings. Couldn't be further from the truth.
 
I think the purpose of the email is to find out who is a "real employee" and what do they actually do vs. the fake, non-existent ones used to funnel money to congressmen.

Couldn't he have just asked the agency heads? I think that would have been easier, but that's just me. Carry on.

No we realize it isn't all GS employees. We also realize it is A LOT of GS employees though.

Yep.

It's called "Featherbedding". The agency heads and department managers justify their jobs and salaries based on how many people they "supervise".

I'm sure that there are lots of great Federal workers, unfortunately they're being overshadowed by all of the complaining leeches. No one has a problem with those that work hard without bias or partisanship.

Rob Kendall, local radio guy, is best friends with our Lt. Gov. He's possibly going to start a DOGE for Indiana. I hope it works out.

Same on the state level, Sir. My coworker is a pathetic pile of flubber and lies. Worthless. My other coworker and I work our butts off. I actually do Flubber's job. It's crazy. I wish we had a DOGE here.
