You have to be responsible for your time.  I would say there is a large portion of jobs in the fed govt that are bullshit jobs.    1 Quote

Also,  I don’t think that musk really gives a shit what every single employee is  doing to that micro level. He wants to use it as a tool to cull the headcount. Quote

Not only does it help managers plan but it helps keep people accountable. Not a hard concept to understand. Quote

Not a hard concept to understand. In certain professions, that can make some sense, especially if it's project work for an external customer. I personally don't want to know every little thing that my team does on a micro level, though. I want to know where they stand on certain items to track it against a sprint's overall progress and completion status and whether we need to plan to extend it or make changes. I mandate updates in things like Jira on when certain tasks are completed, not every little tiny thing someone did in a day. 1 Quote

This is what pisses me off about Musk and his whole schtick on cutting costs.  If they were really concerned about it, they would be finding a way to push for wholesale change. How many Federal workers are pissed off at the Federal bloat and feel they aren't allowed to do their job to the best of their ability because of red tape? I would guess the majority.  But instead you have a guy and a team without the proper qualifications to evaluate the system and instead makes stupid decisions for headlines and the lulz.  It is an embarrassment. The Federal Government does need a major overhaul. I have no doubt there is plenty of waste and fraud occurring but making all employees fill out a report isn't going to solve a fucking thing.  2 Quote
