Assholes gonna asshole. And that applies to every person with power who feels the need to see their underlings RTO to get their sense of power and control back. Real managers don’t need to look over the shoulders of their workers to get the best results.

I’m sick of it.

Public sector pay is too low for me to consider it anyway. Make it in-person and with lost wages and fuel costs from driving in they may as well not pay at all. Sounds like they'll get the quality employees we usually associate with government jobs.

Huge!

Great way for Musk to back up his work policy for X, Tesla, Space X... and basically be an outspoken remote hater

> Department of Government Efficiency

This is a lie, and I wish reporters would stop amplifying it through repetition. The name was chosen to purposely trick the public. There is no such government department, and the people in the group are not government employees either. (Which relates to them promoting rules they would never obey themselves.)

Anybody reporting the phrase verbatim like this is not being objective nor practicing good journalism, but the opposite: It promotes a falsehood and misleads readers.

What do say instead? Even with the cringe-worthy acronym, "DOGE commission" would be a step up: It doesn't mislead people, it correctly characterizes the nature of the group, and it is distinct enough for accurate identification.

In saner times it would be named something like "Presidential Commission on Government Efficiency" from the start.

RTO as stealth layoffs, huh?

How did Elon Musk sire so many children when he, like most CEOs who play this game, plainly has no balls?
