This is an easy way to get rid of a large percentage of government workers who don’t have a requirement to check email everyday. People out in the field or even people out sick or on vacation, etc.
Reading between the lines. Musk thought the government would be like Twitter. However, he is getting increasingly frustrated and didn’t comprehend how large the US government is. So he has to use tactics like this to make a dent. When this doesn’t work, he’ll use a tactic like, “Everyone is fired. If you want your job back then you need to apply again.”
He thought he could fix everything overnight and it’s turning out to be a lot of work. He’s getting bored because it’s too much work. Now he is getting desperate and uses tactics like this.
- spwa4 2y agoI'm pretty damn sure this is highly illegal essentially everywhere in the US. You cannot decide an employee resigns. That's not legal, not even in at-will states (in at-will states this is stupid, you don't have to give a reason to let someone go, BUT, if you make it obvious it can still be judged illegal of course). If he goes through on firing someone this way he'll be paying 2 years pay up front for the people he lets go. AND give them their job back.
