I feel like it's probably important to be able to justify yourself to administration at least once every 5 or 10 years
some employees I'm sure have never had to justify themselves to anyone and just quietly collect a paycheck
"what you got done last week" is idiotic, it should be at least a month, and with additional consideration for your overall role in the organization over the course of a year, like if you fixed a major mistake or made a change that saved thousands of dollars
the other thing is, this is being conducted at such scale and so quickly that you could probably just fuckin lie and it would never be caught...an actual thorough personal review conducted over the course of months if necessary would be more effective
Yeah this is not the way to handle that. Wouldn't be surprised at all if this only rewards the biggest bullshitters while normal guys get the boot.
DOGE is stupid if they think they can identify jobs that shouldn't even exist at all this way.
But that's aside from how this isn't going to remotely be legal since they're unionized.
