Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This is affecting our work - our Share point was down for two days while they looked through it for any mention of dei, delaying plenty of work that had nothing to do with dei.

But even putting that aside, now we have many (thousands?) government employees on admin leave, which means they're getting paid to do nothing. And likely will be for months.

And this delayed resignation thing, if they uphold their end of the deal, will cost even more. Especially since many of the takers seem to be people who were going to retire anyway, or "super commuters" that don't live near the office, both of whom were likely on their way out anyway.

That's a lot of money they are spending for no return at all.

Sounds like we can get more efficient if we remove musk from office.
