[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the contrary, when private sector CEOs sends in McKinsey to ask stupid questions, employees are expected to answer, not complain and say they only report to their direct managers and HR.  We get it, federal bureaucrats don’t respect the President’s authority.  Fine, but there sre consequences to insubordination.  The idea that taxpayer-funded work-from-home bureaucrats are “above” having to send one email a week to HQ is hilarious. Everyone is replaceable, especially this coddled group of Democratic bureaucrats.  After 30 years without layoffs and 5 years of working from home, they should all be fired and replaced with younger people with better attitudes.  Elected Democrats “resisting” layoffs and cost cuts has been an epic fail.  Not only did they fall into Trump’s trap, they face-planted into it.  Now for the cherry on top.  *Protesting* the end of direct deposit of taxpayer funds into their bank accounts!  [/quote]

I would not compare what most private companies do to this completely burn it down to the ground approach from Trump and musk. They could care less about saving money. it’s all about sticking it to the people that didn’t vote for him.[/quote]
You've clearly been coddled for most of your career. Walk in one day and have your CEO call a meeting and say that we're reducing 25% of headcount. HR is teed up right now, Today is Tuesday, your list is due Friday, conversations start with affected employees one week from today, with RIF effective immediately. No exceptions, every department is losing 25%. The crazy part is, we shed 25% of our workforce that fast, never missed a beat, and nothing changed. The only thing that changed was HR got out of the way, so we got rid of the deadwood and the troublemakers.[/quote]

I’ve advised numerous entries on RifS.  You’re right that the bandaid off fast approach is usually preferable.  BUT management does it sensibly by figuring out what functions they need and who they need to keep to achieve that.  This DOGE process has been totally the opposite of that rational approach.  It’s cutting blind, basically, because the people making the decisions don’t have yhe slightest idea what anyone does.  It sounds like much of the time the managers don’t even know who has been cut until after the fact.  This is insane.[/quote]
