Shi$$er's Full - Call Congress (Fresh Tracks Weekly)

You may very well be right. No fraud, no abuse, minimal waste. My sense is that is probably accurate other than the waste. I think big gains in efficiency are possible. Every private business I have been part of has had a great deal of low hanging fruit. I will also concede that the Doge folks haven’t made any of that better. None of that changes the fact that this is the system you work under today. Adapt and overcome is the only realistic path forward. If the low bar of cleaning shitters can’t be hurdled then how does the rest of the bigger stuff I mentioned in the other thread manage to happen? It happens by folks dealing with the system as it is today not how they wish it was and figuring it out. I’m too confident in the vast majority of public sector employees to believe this is little more than a dropped ball. It happens to the best of us.

Typing on my phone is killing me. I’ll give you a call tomorrow @BuzzH. I would be interested in hearing directly how your world has been affected. Assuming you will answer.

That has been the thing that has baffled me the most by the approach of this admin to this issue. Demean, chastise, persecute and remove your workforce and than expect them to adapt and overcome when you implement terrible operational process. All without any thought or planning for the workforce needed in accomplishing your agenda. I give this approach a low probability of success.

Either deal with it or throw your hands in the air and give up. Only two choices.

Most are going to throw their hands in the air. That’s my point.

How much of this workforce could have been kept on the job with the millions of $$$ wasted on the dictator birthday military parade?
Talk about waste and fraud.

In our situation, we started out by trying to find solutions to deal with it. But every solution you come up with, they come back and tell you “nope, can’t do that.” “Nope, not allowed to do it that way anymore”. Until eventually we arrive at throw up the hands.

Understood and certainly sympathetic

Sucks, and infuriating.
