Elon prepares to doxx all Feds:

Fraud, waste, and abuse is a specific, serious charge. If you are actually aware of any you have a duty to report it - did you report it?

I bet you didn't, because what you're actually talking about is "I don't know what John does so I assume he does nothing" or "This process takes longer than I think it should." Not fraud, waste, or abuse.

Many make more than $80K, you know that. I’m sure the argument is that DC cost of living is high, but well, not for long!


So you think someone with years of higher education and expertise doesn't deserve more than 80k?

I am a former fed and agree. You could fire 2/3 or more of the agency I worked for and there would be no discernible impact. My colleagues and I would talk about how a fed job was a form of welfare. At least then you had to show up and pretend to do work to get paid. For the last five years, you didn’t even have to show up.


Where did you work? I’m a former fed with commerce and that was not my experience. I’d say 95% were really good and 5% were duds.

They work in Trollandia.


Ha! Exactly. All these "feds" posting on here are full of shite. I work with smart, hard working people.

Troll harder


You don’t like hearing about my experience and your only retort it to call me a troll.


Partly because what you’re saying is irrelevant to what Musk is doing.

Trump coming in with a shaky mandate and doing a lot of this through something like proper channels: Sure, people would freak out about that, too, but there wouldn’t be widespread terror.

Trump doing this without any kind of respect for any laws or rules or any effective oversight: That’s dictatorship activity. That probably leads quickly to killing fields. That’s terrifying. Getting bad people out is great, but justifying having a dictatorship because it gets the bad workers out and undoes some stupid regulations is foolish. Bureaucracy is annoying, but it’s there to protect us from dictatorship and killing fields.

I had no idea that feds made so little. How embarrassing that we are not compensating our civilian workforce appropriately. Most blue collar workers I know make at least 90k per year. My friend’s husband works in concrete with just hs diploma and is making $150k per year.

This.
We live in a regular middle class neighborhood in the Midwest (DH a fed in the field) and it’s not like he’s making any more than the other white collar workers around us. And the trade workers aren’t far behind him. This seems much ado about nothing.

+1 and there are too many people supporting this who have no clue how the federal government works. We’re basically in “Hitler is a good German who cares about the fatherland so it’s all worth it” territory.

Most of the Feds I have ever worked with are smart, hardworking, and passionate about serving this country and trying to make the world a better place. But of course, they expect to be paid enough money to feed their families and save for their futures, so they are apparently enemies of the people.

Sadly, the average American has the worldview that “productivity” = making more money (for some CEO) = inherent value. What value is being generated by Forest Rangers patrolling National Parks? Look at all those trees! There’s still money to be made in lumber, is there not? Fire the “leeches”, clear cut the forests, make the billionaires richer. That’s the new American way.

Yes people do not become federal employees to make money. It’s because they believe in service and the mission. I make about the same as your husband’s friend and I have a Master’s degree. If I worked in private industry I would be making over $200k.

This website is so bad it's almost comical. I can only guess they got the logo from Microsoft clip art circa 2001.

+1. I am talking people who should be retired. People who don’t do their share of the work. Just lingering and collecting. This is who needs to go. 👍


Great, so mass employment will bring on a recession, while Tesla has a shiny new contract for $400M. But, I guess it's worth it >> because efficiency.

Well they do want 2-3 bullet points, so I guess that's efficient.
