DOGE Protester Proving Musk’s Point

“How frightening is it that the owner of X speaks to you directly to say ‘what did you do last week at work’… How do you think that makes federal workers feel?” This @DOGE protester is basically making @ElonMusk‘s case for him. – Watch. h/t illustr8r

  1. ‘what did you do last week at work’

    Seems like a SIMPLE question to me, I should think answering that question would be easier than answering….”When’s the last time you took a shit on company time”??

  2. …I always get a kick out of this “Five Things You Did Last Week” schtick.

    Before I leave for the day, I have to create a detailed account of what systems I worked on; a timesheet detailing how much time I spent on what task itemized by whether it was planned, PM, emergency, and some other things; a handover email telling night shift which of the issues they left me were fixed and what things they should watch; parts requests tied to work orders I also created with timelines for completion; Federally required compliance documents ranging from calibration checks to proof that we used only approved parts on regulated vessels; text and other electronic messages regarding immediate problems and discussions about requirements and specifications for jobs; clocking in and out, of course, as well as answering radio calls all day and documenting the occasional medical emergency, and…you get the idea.

    MY employer has ample proof that Im there and being productive, including in-person team meetings and the simple fact that if I did not fix a line problem, 50+ people standing around getting paid for nothing would make it pretty obvious if I were slacking, not to mention that there’s times people would have literally died if Id have been off playing with myself in a bathroom somewhere instead of making with the AED and CPR when SHTF.

    And this is EVERY STINKING DAY.

    …five things?
    in a WEEK?

    I WISH that were all that were required of me.

    If I only had five things before LUNCH, Id be slacking, and these folks cant come up with them over 40 HOURS.

    …we have a term for people who get paid for getting a check while doing nothing.

    CLOCKsuckers…

  3. What job doesn’t require some sort of
    computer or paper trail for the function of the business?
    If you can’t think of five things you did in a week you didn’t work.

  4. And to add to that, Brad, we are the same age and I’ve never had a paid day off, much less a paid vacation. I’m sick and tired of these government cry babies complaining about how unfair life is!

    I showed up every fucking day to work while I was fighting cancer. Why? Because I really like living in my house. I’ve NEVER missed a day because I was sick. Can’t afford it.

    It’s a bitch being your own boss. This is why we relate so well. There’s no excuses. Just get it shipped. And yes I’m sure we’ve both enjoyed some pretty good financial gains. However, there’s not even a buck to pass. To anyone.

  7. Brad, there’s war stories and success stories. We’ve had them both, but I damn sure resent the hell out government bureaucrats passing rules and regulations that do nothing but increase our expenses and workload then cry like a stuck pig over the need to send an email laying out five things they did last week!

  8. Whomever the complainer is, they miss the point. It’s not “the owner of X” asking, it’s the PRESIDENT asking through his delegated appointee. They don’t understand ANYTHING about business or the chain of command; they just feel entitled. For what reason, I have no idea.
