I was forced today

to send my five bullet point list of "what I did this past week".

Very demeaning and depressing. As if helping over 200 Veterans obtain and receive healthcare was not enough. Our clinic is insanely busy!

Our department was forced into this. We had no choice but to answer to this shithead and his 20-year-old hackers.

At least the wine is going down smoothly. Tomorrow is another day. *sigh*

Welcome to the world of work, you ****ing turd. People not on the government teat have to do stuff like that all the time.

Imagine the NERVE of having to summarize your work activities! I thought they were SO busy, and SO proud of the MASSIVELY important work they do, that it would take seconds to jot off all they do. NOPE.

No ****ing sympathy, and I hope you all get DOGE'd good and hard.

If your job is helping Veterans then you did your job and are not is danger of losing your job.  Don't be such a drama queen and just let your employer know what you did.  It is a common practice in the private .

These people would die if they ever had to work in the private sector.  I'm betting a bunch of them will find out soon enough what the private sector is all about and they'll wish they had taken a few seconds/minutes to simply put down a few bullet points of what makes them important enough to keep their jobs.

I would think most would take it as an opportunity to brag on what you do and how important your tasks are.  Hell, you might get a promotion!

When I leave the office for more than a couple of days I have to type out what projects I'm working on, where those projects are, who my contacts are, what could go wrong while I'm out, what goals I intend for my crews in the field to hit while I'm out, etc ...  Even then I will STILL get phone calls, texts, and emails asking me questions so everything continues to run smoothly.  We call it the vacation penalty and we pay it before we leave, and after we get back.  A one week vacation brings me back to close to 300 emails to sort through when I get back.

These people whine about having to author a whopping FIVE whole bullet points.

Imagine how depressing and demeaning it would be if they had to actually work too.

My question is if this DUmmie even had to change out of her jammies to answer the e-mail.

They need to get a job working on salary and then put in 50 hours with 10 hours of unpaid overtime or get a job doing service and get paid on billable hours no pay for the time you’re driving to and from the service appointment put in 50 hours and get paid for 35. I’m sure they would like that.

I've been going this daily for more consecutive years than I can clearly recall, well over two decades. Arrogant DUmmie Texasgal should be able to compile a list of several tasks worked on per day, in a couple of minutes per day (BTDingTGTTSs).

In the real world I have a team meeting at 10:30 every morning but Friday to review my work since the previous meeting and what I intend to work on that day. It's no big deal and actually helps when I stuck on something and can get other team members' input.

A few years back, I created an email template in Outlook that allows me to log everything I'm doing that day and which project(s) that work is billed to, so that I can shoot it off to my manager the next morning. It literally turned that daily meeting (ugh) into an email.

When I was doing service work, I had to log my miles my hours and how many service tickets I turned in so what they’re asked to do there’s no big deal unless they’ve been laying around the house and her pajamas watching cartoons

Every Federal employee whining on ABCNNBCBS and sites like DU spent more time whining on-air and in-post than it should have taken them to list 10 or 20 accomplishments - tasks or milestones.

For the few years I was working as the county GESAC for the State of Iowa.(That's a job where retired National Guard members are tasked to act as a go between for the county they live in and the National guard during emergencies and natural disasters.) I only did it twice. Once during the 2011 summer floods and again during the flooding in 2019 which was a much shorter time working. Anyway, while working for the state I had to keep the Joint operations Center updated on what was going on. Go out and do a recon of sorts of the affected areas and then at the end of the day do a daily phone call with the JOC to let them know how things went. If the county needed anything from the Guard and anything else that might be pertinent to the flooding going on, so it is not unusual to have to do something like what Musk is asking for the Government employees to do.
