#1 So they don't want to play his game?
Then each of their own games should produce their KPIs and Balanced Scorecards. With each of their bonuses and job retention at risk.

#2

Taking a different look at the issue.
Having been once DOD employed myself and working in several secured areas.

How could I report what I was doing without going to jail for a breach of security?

How do I know, whoever is looking at my productivity report is cleared to do so?

#5 Glad to see the backlash against musk. In theory the idea of trimming gov’t waste is great, but execution sucks.

#6 The super efficient, effective and busy fed employees can hardly spare the five minutes to type up five whole bullet points of accomplishments. Ridiculous. It's why they can't make it in the private sector and have to depend on political connections, unions, and civil servant protections to prevent them from dying in a ditch in a pool of their own urine.

#7 Sorry, but OPM is the only gov’t personnel office, not some autistic conceited rich guy that nobody elected. And Trump is too stupid in this regard to see he is being played.
Too bad Manchin chose not to run.

#8 Odd to consider someone being conceited for not liking stupid incompliant Federal grifters.

Manchin? Not quite a paper tiger but definitely a paper towel.

#9 It does all seem a bit chaotic, but...

1) Federal employees are crying about someone asking what they did last week. That is not going to sell well with the Normies. Every indoor job I ever had, there was either a weekly status report or a timesheet with hours for whatever projects you worked on.

2) Clarification of the chain of command
Elon: So what is it, exactly, that you do here?
FedEmp: Waaah! You're not the boss of me!
NewBoss: Ignore Elon. You work for me.
FedEmp: Yeah! Neener, neener, neener!
NewBoss: Now get to work.
FedEmp: You're not the... oh, wait.
