Rehiring fired employees is apparently what peak efficiency looks like

Gather, everyone, for another episode of the current series where the Trump administration frantically tries to rehire the same federal employees he pushed a few months ago.

This time, employees of the General Services Administration are invited to return. My God, who wouldn’t want to go back?

Racists in the baby face of the so-called Ministry of Government efficiency hit the gsa hard. Headquarters were reduced by more than 75%, real estate portfolio managers were reduced by 65%and managers of 35%facilities.

And who needs all these people anyway, when Doge planned to cancel almost half of the 7,500 government leases and sell hundreds Buildings belonging to the federal government? You don’t need real estate staff if you get rid of all your real estate stakes, right?

Indeed, the Doge Kids, led by Rich Manchild Elon Musk, were so excited to start that they sent Nearly 800 reviews Rental dismissals to owners but have sometimes forgotten to tell the government tenants. Thus, more than 100 leases then expired, but the government tenants did not move. And if there is one thing that the owners love, it is the tenants who keep illegally and prevent them from praising the space to someone who will pay them.

Who knew you couldn’t apply the “Move quickly and break things»Ethos with a large federal real estate portfolio on a national level? Who knew you needed places for annoying things like an IRS local office?

Federal employees. Who knew.

Now, the GSA wants several hundred of these employees to return, relaxing yet another of Doge’s random efforts. It now becomes a kind of story of dog-man-man, honestly.

In August, the national ocean and atmospheric administration had to crawl for an exception to a global job freeze in order to Hire 450 employees at the National Weather Service After the murderous floods of Texas in early July. It turns out that the Doge geniuses have not seized the basic concept of the “weather” and the way people like meteorologists are somewhat necessary.

Also in August, after losing More than 25,000 employeesThe Internal Revenue Service suddenly remembered that he could not innovate or synergize his way to need people to work during the fiscal season next year. So come back please?

In March, these were centers for disease control and prevention, where 180 probationary employees were dismissed and then said to come back. He then reproducedin June.

It is not only that this whole process has been comically ineffective. It is that it shows a real disdain, a contempt and a lack of understanding of the government’s work and what it needs.

But in case you wonder: no, the administration has not learned its lesson.

The real problem, by spokesperson for the GSAis federal employees: “The GSA management team has considerably examined the actions of the workforce and makes adjustments in the best interest of the customer agencies that we serve and American taxpayers.”

Of course, it would have been in the best interests of agencies and taxpayers if you did not have to go out in the first place? But really, isn’t it their fault to get out? Indeed, according to the Trump administration, it is.

Here is GSA Spox again: “When we talk about the size and scope of this, it is important to understand that the majority of our separations have been voluntary – the choice of the employee.”

Good luck to make people come back to that.
