I would like a correction. This is not a “crackdown” on federal workers. This is a terror campaign to gut the USG for the benefit of a very select few people. Not for the benefit of the average U.S. citizen. The goal is cruelty until people leave the federal government. Then select positions will be filled with loyalists.

Musk’s group is not a department and it is most certainly not interested in actual efficiency. I will be unsubscribing to focus on publications that report actual facts and put them in context in order to educate rather than to confuse readers.

Sorry to hear that. The goal of Landmark is to contextualize and better explain important environmental and energy law issues. In this case, the reporting is helping illuminate a real threat to federal workers and the reaction from EPA employees.

I disagree that the phrasing in this story misrepresents or somehow validates DOGE. It’s not up to me to decide whether it is a technically and legally sound government entity. But DOGE undoubtedly has power, and refusing to print its name wouldn’t change that.

This is micromanaging 101 - having endured this kind of mgmt insecurities in the workplace for decades myself, it employs force instead of leadership in an attempt to bridge the gap between the increasingly detached top directives with the actual organization's bottom line, harming in the process by interfering in the way of folks actually getting things done.

Dozens of reactionary emails a day, multiple meetings a week, endless queries a month is a sign of someone in charge that doesn't trust themselves when the same question/request is demanded from those even higher up, so they pass the 💩 down, compile it and send it back up to justify their enormous egos and paychecks while undermining the contributions of all others.

The purpose is to terrorize federal employees. The way this administration is treating its workforce is despicable

This isn't just being sent to just federal employees..it's literally every employee with .gov email, that includes judges and even state employees that work with federal agencies (Im a state employee and I received it, I marked it as phishing). There's currently a lawsuit right now over DOGE and it's mass emails to everyone with .gov email as well as unsecured server.

I would not answer that email. I would send that email to spam or report as phishing.

Every single person who receives this email should then respond with a very lengthy, detailed summation of every single action they have done as a servant of the people.

Flood their email zone with more information than they can process!

I guess that means all of us. As taxpayers supplying the government with funding, “we” are employees.

What's that website ?

They had to change it 2x because the email got leaked on Reddit. As a result redditors who weren't federal employees were spamming it. This was actually in court documents over the email (I don't know what it currently is).

My husband has a friend in a government job who got this email. The friend will be on vacation next week so will be unable to comply. The friend's boss suggested to report the email as a phishing scam attempt.

Clark’s audience is a bunch of angry liberals on mental health medications. These comments are funny as fuck. Bunch of people locked up in a mental prison they created for themselves. Thanks for the laugh

Do not comply!

Yes! Do not comply. Firing them with cause will save the actual people (not you) money that pay taxes and instead will cause them to miss out on a severance package. Listen to Charley, a retarded liberal, and do not comply! Good advice, Charlie. You’re super smart

Govt employees do NOT get severances..and btw, DOGE spammed every employee with .gov address..from federal judges to state employees..those are not under his jurisdiction. Then you add the unsecured server as well as violating union contracts which will cost the tax payers even more (unfair labor practices violations are extremely costly and there's a reason why a lot of federal employees are being brought back)

I’m not trolling. The US Govt is over crowded and inefficient. Being employed isn’t a given - I would argue that while it appears to attack the individual, it’s attacking the system and routing out inefficiencies. It’s pretty tough to watch, and it’s affecting seemingly innocent hard working people, but without a ruthless cull the patient is going to die, and in serious cases of rot and systems not working, a foot needs to me amputated :/

100 million? Lol! All the fraud they are documenting and showing to the public has fractured a Democrat base. The sane people are leaving in droves. Leaving the mindless, extremists behind. Thank you for being so retarded that you destroyed your own party! HahahahahahahahahahH

Are you really this stupid or are you a Russian bot? I guess you might just be a MAGAsshat which is an ample portion of both. I encourage you to get painful ass cancer and autofornicate!

There’s been no documentation and there’s been no fraud, except that perpetrated by Trump and his DOGEs. This is a fascist coup masquerading as a libertarian revolution. People who loved America are devastated and people who are Nazis are cheering. Then there are the criminally stupid MAGAs in the middle who claimed to love America but also listened to a narcissistic sociopathic grifter as explained that the country they love was a shit hole and only he could make it better by burning it to the ground. They’re just enjoying looking at the pretty flames their house is making.

Once again: get painful ass cancer; and autofornicate. Looking forward to your personal karma for being such a shitty, shitty person!
