I’m going to editorialize a bit here. The DoD was ready to fire every probationary employee today. An AF Lieutenant General came to tears yesterday breaking the news to staff. And this is not just first year employees as the media keeps pointing out- this changed this to two years in 2015 for the DoD. For many excepted employees, it actually takes three years to leave the probationary period. Doing rough math (3 years out of a 30 year career- that’s 10% of that particular population). It took “woke” CNN to point out the law that you can’t just fire ~6% of the workforce without first determining what will break.
Too bad this wasn’t law for the IRS and other agencies.
I have an idea: maybe assess actions before taking the actions?
Strategy isn’t their strong point.
It’s the pentagon! Shouldn’t they be the best?
No, not them.
They hoard wealth like my 5yo hoards candy. Stands to reason they would also act impulsively without thinking first like that same 5yo.
“move fast and break things”, where “things” is entire countries and people’s lives
The POINT is to break the government. It’s a lot easier to convince people to privatize things that way.
That motto doesn’t really work in software engineering either lol they love to say that shit though.
It’s not software engineers that say that. All these shitty business bros like to pretend they’re techies when their only role in technology is lying about it to scam funding.
We didn’t do that last November, why would we start now? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
