We should point out to Musk that if he sends emails out to hundreds of thousands of Federal employees asking them what they did last week, and if he intends on repeating this week after week afterwards he will then need to hire new Federal employees to receive,read and review their job performances which will increase Federal employees instead of reducing them. I get dibbies on the new Federal employee position that makes sure that the ones he hired to do it are preforming their weekly task.
This is very true, but again going to private sector for examples which is more "streamlined" than the government, these types of emails are sent out in the first month during a re-org, in order to find out who's the weakest link and then the CIO finds out how many people do the same type of job and if 20 people are needed for that job or if 15 or 10 are needed.
Again, i mentioned my department.
About 50% of the people are useless in IT because they're middle level management.
That wouldn't be so bad if they helped but not only they don't help but they put barriers to prevent you from helping the customer.
You're dealing with a crazy amount of egos basically.
Everyone that is a manager, their head gets too big and they think that they are the king of the world now so they don't treat their employees well.
During my experience in different jobs, i have found that only a handful of managers protect their team. Most of them see their team as a "tool" so they can be promoted to a higher position.
Very very few, take time to thank their subordinates, give them fair reviews (which means that the manger has to do his job and keep up with the 20-30 people in their team to know what they're doing) and who encourage their subordinates to seek different training for better salary.
