and have half a heart or a conscious, its truly one of the toughest things you will do in life. never once thought about celebrating someone else's misfortune with a chainsaw, Musk is a 1st class prick
If you ever had to fire someone

You “guys” are some of the most triggered weaksticks ever. It’s hilarious to watch. Problem is half the country is a bunch of weak sniveling babies at this point. Y’all are going to have to toughen up. 4 years is a long time.
Have you ever laid anybody off Ty?
Like, seriously.
I take my fair share of relish when firing a lazy POS. Believe me I do. Or a cheat. But layoffs? Come on man.
Jeezuz...this board is saturated with very soft men.
Manly isn't a word anyone will ever associate with this place.

Sit back and laugh, enjoy the show, has nothing to do with being a weakstick, whatever that is. 4 years is an extremely long time. 47 months to go
I have in the past, hated it but needed to be done. I have another one now in the spotting scope. The little obstinate, hard headed, "can't follow simple instructions and has a superiority complex ", that has 7 kids........... Better get his shit together quickly.
People are losing their jobs (including thousands of veterans) left and right, and families are suffering as a result. And your asshole hero is wielding a chainsaw. Fvck off.
Better than MAGAs who eat their propaganda every morning and have to defend whatever new shit comes up next.
I let someone go earlier this week. Not easy. I had warned him of the need to be job hunting back in November, though, due to some grants expiring. The uncertainty with NIH, the delays in grant reviews, and the expected funding cutbacks made it a necessity. It went OK due to the forewarning, and the fact that I can give him up to 60 days. He actually thanked me for making it as smooth as possible under the circumstances.
But it isn't easy when the guy has a wife, a 5-year old, a 1-year old, and a lease. No way I was celebrating or pumping a fist, even though he was somewhat of an underperformer, at least when not monitored / pushed.

Yep. It's a terrible experience.
But these are the same people that jerk off to things like this.
I never fully understood how cruel people are until this year. I think anyone who has associated with the government in any capacity understands that some reform is required. Serious reform. I've been concerned about the debt for a long time. The sad truth is this is not a department of efficiency, but inefficiency. And I'm saying that with a muzzle on.
This is what a real ball of worms looks like:
Musk's DOGE touted slashing an $8 billion contract. It actually cut $8 million.
The $7.992 billion mistake raises questions about DOGE's accounting and savings claims as it works to swiftly gut the federal bureaucracy.
www.usatoday.com
And Social Security:
The real problem is not federal payroll, which is only $270B. If you don't make a move on VA, DOD, Social Security, and Medicare, you aren't making a dent into the debt.
As for the federal workforce, they are now paying people through December who had already put in retirement papers. They are paying probationaries who took the deal through September and could have been fired with no notice. And by and large who took the deal? People who are competent and people who were going to retire anyhow.
Run an LLM on all IG reports and rank the top savings recommendations and have Congress act on them and no Department of Inefficiency would be required.
Speaking of transparency... Why are all DOGE records sealed for 10 years?
We are facing pretty scary times imo.
That is a completely fair answer, "I hated it but needed to be done." It is like putting a dog down, if one goes out and parties over it they are a sick SOB. One hates it, but one has to do it.
Looks like the Twitter approach. Cut the shit out of it and see what’s left and if it still worksI never fully understood how cruel people are until this year.

In the meantime prices are high
The government is not Twitter. And for the record Twitter has performed miserably since the takeover. They are going to end up spending more to fix the crap they broke. If it's repairable at that point.
And folks aren't making $300k per year and getting golden parachutes. But even if all of this was logical, what's with the intentional cruelty?
Another point I would make is that if this was a serious effort you would want people who know the ins and outs of these agencies directing the scissors. Not 19 year olds fired from their cyber security internships for leaking secrets to competitors.
Musk’s DOGE teen was fired by cybersecurity firm for leaking company secrets
Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s squad was fired from an internship after he was accused of sharing information with a competitor.
Well said. Not what's happening.
As the intentions are not what they claim. Just like Trump knew nothing about P2025.

I think we can feel for someone's family who has to pick up the pieces for a firing/layoff. If it makes you feel better, I would relish your firing. That would make me a super tough guy.
I met the Dalai Lama. Yet another special thing about iu/Bloomington
It is easy when you think they are just a Social Security number who is over paid and under worked along with being a woke obstacle to making the country great again.
DOGE is all about working for We the People and eliminating the leftists who waste our money with their fraud, abuse, and abstructionism.

part of the strategy one would assume, who knows what trump and musk are really thinking, is you must create an enemy, ask most maggots they will tell you those losing their jobs don't do anything and just sit at home and draw 150k a year.

Telling him two of his kids, aren’t his.
Probably, but he’s got 7 kids. It’ll be good for him to be on the receiving end for a change. Don’t worry though, I’ll go SLOOOOOW.
Within just a few words of each other you write pejoratively "you must create an enemy" followed immediately by "ask most maggots."
Side note. I now always look for the positive in things.
Today is my first paycheck day and I’m loving this much lower tax bracket!!! 😜
If I understood your article correctly they knew 2 days after the fact that it was only $8M but we're still parroting savings numbers based on the $8B? I'm not sure that helps their case.
