Musk's demand that fed employees list their accomplishments roils workforce: 'Mass civil disobedience'
'This is a good opportunity for mass civil disobedience,' Democratic Rep. Sean Casten posted to X
 By Emma Colton Fox News
Published February 23, 2025 1:20pm EST

Department of Government Efficiency chair Elon Musk announced that federal employees must report their accomplishments from the last week or face losing their jobs, which has roiled the federal workforce as some Democratic lawmakers and unions call on employees to flout the directive.

"This is a good opportunity for mass civil disobedience. Musk has no authority to do this. Encourage all federal employees to report to work, prepare GFY letters and continue to demonstrate the public service and patriotism he lacks," Illinois Democratic Rep. Sean Casten posted to X on Saturday evening.

The acronym GFY is internet slang typically meaning "go f--- yourself."

"It takes a remarkable combination of arrogance and stupidity to think that this is the best use of time for our intelligence officers, VA workers, air traffic controllers, and everyone else we depend on to do their job well," he continued.

If one does not answer, that person is no longer considered working for the government so no paycheck?  Then followup whether the person is alive, so no pension or medical for that person or dependents.

I learned a while ago not to have anything in my mouth when reading your posts. That has served me well.

I imagine some of the lowest workers can pad their resumes with more BS resumes tasks than a hard worker could. So not sure exactly how much weight I would actually trust Elon's getting rid of dead weight.

Not the point. It's a great way to start identifying those that are truly productive.

A productive employee can put together a bullet point list in 2 minutes because they get a lot done in a week.

Exactly. And they would be proud of their accomplishments.

Elon did this when he bought X. Now the company is running better with only 20% of it's former employees.

This man will end Trump.

This is harassment.  And if Trump/Musk get away with this, you can bet every corporation in the USA will be mirroring this behavior.

My wife tonight as she was getting in bed said, "this is exactly how they treat employees in Russia [her native country].

I will tell you, any time the USA begins to parallel anything they do in Russia, it is a moment for concern.  Russia is and has been under Putin a lawless country.  Let me repeat that so it can be absorbed.  A LAWLESS COUNTRY.

Those of you working in corporate America, do you really want to come to work daily being told you will be subject to termination, exactly like what Trump/Musk are doing?  DAILY THREATS! Best think hard on that one, because if it can be done in government, it can certainly be done in corporate America. 

I told my wife, you got just a few more years to get your 20 and you can leave to make twice the income working for a pharma company.  This idiocy will actually motivate the highest quality people to depart, and Trump will be left with all the dummies that work for the federal government that do nothing.

EVERYDAY when i was at the machine shop I had to document how many and of what part I was working on. Standards of performance were set and we were required to meet them.  if not we better have a good reson why not. There are no standards set for these positions, so they need to justify why theyare getting paid.
