SEC - why not even a peep from leadership?

How do badge swipes bring down the deficit or improve efficiency?

Also — If they have reason to think that the agency isn’t properly managing its employees, shouldn’t *management* immediately be terminated?? Doesn’t the agency regularly bring actions against entities for inadequate controls and failure to supervise?

So weird.

Badge swipes? lol. So it doesn’t matter what you actually do once you’re past the turnstile, as long as you’re inside the turnstile for 8.5 hours?

As a wise man once said, “If you can’t measure what’s important, then you make what you CAN measure important.”

I think I know KJ and CC but who’s CAG?? Hint?

If they’re truly “tough as nails,” then why do they need DOGE? What they have been doing this whole time?

I also didn't know who CAG was. I looked at the entire exec leadership on the website and didn't see anyone with those initials.

I mean DOGE is coming for managers as well. All the same policies will apply to them. What's your point? This isn't a career management vs staff thing, it's direction from DOGE, WH, and politicals at the top. Obviously supervisors are not the ones pushing badge swipe checks or wanting to be subject to them.

That's an AI failure, it's showing CAG as Crenshaw when she's clearly CC. Funny you get the same result when you run that search with CC.

Well, if doge’s theory is that staff has been systematically running roughshod and not even showing up to work or falsifying time cards (ie, widespread fraud), then their FIRST act should be to confirm/test their theory, and if proven, eliminate every single manager who was responsible for overseeing those staff.

Isn’t that what the private sector would do?

If they don’t suspect that, then why the obsession with badge swipes?

Put up or shut up.

You're talking about DOGE like it's rational. I'm not sure who you are yelling at here.

NP and my bet is they are just looking for easy ways to fire people and time and attendance issues are pretty easy. So, rational in the sense that they want to further reduce headcount.

There’s a way to reduce headcount without all the passive aggressive pussyfooting around.

So if they have a headcount target that they think is appropriate (beyond the 700 who are already leaving), freakin announce it, execute, and move on. Jeezus — this is like low-IQ preschool McKinsey-lite.

Is the number 4000? 3900? 2200? What’s it based on?

RE: swipes. But BU hasn't returned to the office fully yet. There's so little data on swipes right now.

PP or they want to make people miserable and have them quit so no severance. Or they're too lazy to do a RIF? Honestly no one knows but you can bet everything they're doing is with a goal to reduce headcount.
