Musk should go first.

For fucks sake Elon, Office Space wasn't a management tutorial.

Did you get the memo?

I'm a people person! I have people skills! What the fuck is wrong with you people?!

The email — sent with the subject line “What did you do last week?” just two hours after Musk’s post, and shared with POLITICO — asks employees to please reply with “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager.”

It instructs employees to not send any classified information.

To: Musk
CC: Manager
Subject: My Work

  • Classified project
  • Classified project
  • Classified project

  • Classified project

Kind regards, Elvith

Edit: Wait, I got a better version:

Dear Mr. Musk,

thank you for stating that I'm not obligated to reveal classified information. As you should be informed, the NDA of $department/$ministry/$agency does not only prevent me from revealing anything about classified projects, but I'm also not allowed to reveal if we do work on classified projects. If anyone at $position were to reveal that they only worked on non classified projects, we'd also be in violation of our NDA

Because of this, I can neither deny nor confirm that I did any work on anything in $timeframe.

Kind regards,
Elvith

Since the whole deal is about loyalty checks, this response would unfortunately give them exactly the truth they want to know.

Better to make shit up and end every sentence with "to the glory and vision of Donald J Trump and his witness Elon Musk."

Thanks for posting! I just reported it from my work phone as a phishing scam. It came from an external email that had the name "HR." Get fucked Musk!

Update for anyone interested:

IT responded and stated it was a "safe" email. Leadership also sent out an email today stating they are waiting for guidance and not to respond until they do. Either way, I'm unable to respond to the email at this point, as the action of reporting it removed it from my inbox. I'm not a BUE, but I've scheduled a meeting with the local union president that represents the BUEs in my shop to attempt to light a fire under her ass and get her to send out a message encouraging everyone not to respond. We'll see how things go.

You cannot run a Government like a business and still have a Government. A Business is a completely different model and thing from a Government.

You cannot run a Government like a business and still have a Government.

And if you run a government like a failed business you get a failed government. How many different businesses have Traitorapist Trump and Retard Musk failed between the two? Musk lost $40 billion on Twitter, is also tanking Tesla, and is now trying to repeat his failures on the whole of America.

Trump is going to the Treasury to look at the gold bars in the vaults. It sounds like a plan to rob the government. I hope he fucks this up like his businesses and we finally arrest a US President.

Tiny baby man, obviously not compensating for anything, mid-level micro manager energy.

Get ready for Grok to do automated performance reviews!

There's no point in explaining what you do to someone who isn't going to understand your answer.
