Title: Vivek and Musk to Layoff 25% of Gov. Employees?
Post by: Lartinos on December 13, 2024, 10:13:52 AM
“DOGE: What Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon plan to cut 25% of the Federal Gov't workforce

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy aim to cut $2 trillion or 25% of the federal workforce from the federal budget by July 4, 2026.  They've said they'll fire federal employees, "delete" entire agencies, or at least vastly change them. A 2023 report from the **Government Accountability Office** found that 17 of the agencies reviewed used about 25% or less of their buildings' space. The federal government spends about $2 billion each year to maintain federal office buildings and $5 billion to lease space to agencies, the report found.

Agency Targets on the Hit List:

* Department of Education
* Department of Defense
* Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
* Internal Revenue Service”

I’ve remember about 10 -12 years ago  working in NYC as an construction  project manager and our company used to have lots of government contracts .We’ve walked into  the government and federal offices and literally no one was doing anything besides surfing the net . 9-5 nothing and getting paid  with great benefit package on taxpayer’s  dime
For them it perfectly fits the question “how people had lived before the internet?”.They would have died bored if someone had unplugged the router .
 Mexicans are screwed ,these hardworking office people will be stealing their jobs .

As tough as it will be, it has to be done. There will be collateral damage. As long as they're transparent and it makes sense, cuts must be made.  We're passed unsustainable and are on the path of YOLO/fuck it, max this bitch out.

Americans better tap nto their grandparents' ingenuity genes and learn how to budget and be content with a much different level of lifestyle compared to what they've been accustomed.  In the meantime, save your sheckles and invest in this new quantum financial system, be patient and your children and grandchildren can live a better life from your investments.

While they are for the most part trifling and lazy, most don’t really make any money. It’s almost as if they just get paid to show up, almost like some sort of welfare.

I agree .I do not blame them .Getting great health insurance for entire family is must ,so even if pay sucks benefits will do the trick .Plus if spouse has good paid job that evens out.

Most people will never do this. They'd rather go into debt trying to match their neighbors' cars instead of investing that money.

If there was ever an industry that could be run by AI its the administrative duties of the public service or government, with government global debt crippling the western world this is the smartest thing done by anyone in decades if they can pull it off and redirect capital to paying off national debt, administrative government workers are the least productive workers in society, overpaid and lazy, heavily unionised making it impossible to performance manage them, wipe it out.

Similar story, here. We were getting over £300 per metre all in on government contracts. The direct labour we came across were utterly useless. All the money went to the contractors and the direct labour for NationalGrid were left with the D4s or whatever the BS, "let's find where this leak is coming from" BS. They knew that a 35 year contract couldn't be done using their own guys. Excellent nest vans with the latest tech. But it took shelfless vans full of shovel monkeys to make them claim to the Energy Minister that they were on schedule. To me, a public sector job is for women that have other commitments and blokes that want the easy street.

Thanks for the tip brother .I’ll check it out that Boiling Point has  99% approval ratings on Rotten Tomatoes .
Speaking of UK movies hopefully Guy Ritchie’s  In The Gray movie will be good.

Maybe. People, especially government workers, won’t work as hard from home without accountability. To ensure efficiency, government workers would have to be paid based on results, not just salary or hourly rates. That could be difficult to measure for some government jobs.

They also do nothing in the office that is a separate issue. But making people come to the office  just to justify the office space doesn't make sense. If they can do the work remotely get rid of the expensive office buildings

They should just get rid of most of them, period. Some are not necessary other than a sort of work to welfare type system.

The White House expects up to 10% of federal employees to quit in September in a program meant to end work-from-home practices, senior administration officials told CBS News.

A government-wide email President Trump's aides planned to send Tuesday says employees have until Feb. 6 to decide whether to participate in a "deferred resignation program," which would give federal employees the ability to decide now that they will resign in September.

"If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30, 2025 (or earlier if you choose to accelerate your resignation for any reason)," the email states.

Only about 6% of federal employees work full-time in office, administration officials said..

Hopefully doesn’t happen in the US but where I’m from there have been successive state cutbacks over a fairly lengthy period. But guess what? All the dross that gets targeted pretty much came back in the form of public private NGOs, CCOs, QUANGOs and the like, basically gorging from the taxpayer trough as hugely inflated overpriced consultants…just sayin

For govt, Making people return to the office is how business is making people resign so they don’t have to make redundancies. Once enough are gone, downsize the office space. I believe they offered all Federal employees 8mth severance?

In the private sector it was a little different where we had execs in the office on high salaries who suddenly became vulnerable with no staff around. So they started to call staff in to make themselves be seen as managing people. Same outcome, mass resignations.

not sure if they did the same in the USA but the UK changed the burden of proof refards working from home
Used to be that the employee had to make the case why they didnt have to come into the office and could do the same job from home.
They changed it so that the employer had to prove they did have to come in.
They changed the law during Covid to allow staff to work from home easier

Its never been reversed.
