GovernmentJobs

Elon Musk, now leading the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) under Trump’s administration, has issued a bold directive—every federal employee must list five things they did last week, or risk losing their job! 📝❌

🔹 What Happened?

Musk posted on X that the demand came directly from President Trump.

The Office of Personnel Management confirmed the order but didn’t mention automatic firings.

Trump praised Musk’s actions, saying he wants him to be “more aggressive”.

🔹 Massive Government Job Cuts!

77,000 workers already resigned after being forced to return to the office.

Pentagon set to fire 5,400 probationary employees next week.

Total job losses expected to surpass 100,000—some estimates close to 300,000!

Washington D.C.’s unemployment claims already spiked 36% in early February.

🔹 How Will This Affect the US Economy?
📉 GDP Impact: Economists say losing 200,000+ workers could shrink the economy by 0.1%, but won’t cause a recession.
💸 Severance Costs: 75,000+ workers who took buyouts will still be paid until September, costing billions.
⚠️ Public Services Disrupted? Critics warn this could weaken national security, veterans’ support, and cybersecurity.

🔥 Public Reaction & Controversy
Labor unions are calling this “cruel and unlawful.” Everett Kelley, president of AFGE, slammed Musk’s lack of public service experience, calling the move disrespectful to veterans and federal workers.

🔹 What’s Next?
Trump & Musk seem determined to cut government spending. With more layoffs planned, will this lead to greater efficiency or economic chaos? 🤔

📢 What do you think? Should all federal employees justify their jobs weekly?
