Our PM Word-Mimmicks Trump A Lot Lately . . . How About Mimicking this Trump Action?

U.S. President Trump issued a stunning email to the entire Federal work force this week:  "Put 'RESIGN' in the subject line and hit 'Send' if you want to go'.

The email gave all employees across the entire Federal government workforce until February 6 (10 days from their time of receipt) to decide if they wanted to take him up on a redundancy offer that would see them free to leave immediately, with full pay until September 30.

But if they choose to stay, the email makes clear, they'd be working in the office and NOT from home; they will be expected to display a standard of excellence in their role; and there is no guarantee that either their job or their entire agency/department won't be axed in the future.

The email is apparently very similar to one sent to Twitter employees in 2022 by tech mogul Elon Musk, now appointed by Trump to head his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.

Entitled "A Fork In The Road", here are some highlights surrounding the shock missive:

• The new Government will focus on four pillars:

• A return to physical presence office culture.
• A high-performance environment that demands excellence.
• A more reduced, streamlined and flexible workforce that will include downsizings.
• A high, non-negotiable standard of trust, loyalty and reliability.

• DOGE's official Twitter/X account says: 

"DOGE is saving the Federal Government approximately $1 billion a day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President's Executive Orders. A good start, although this number needs to increase to >$3 billion a day."

Even the uber-leftist BBC seems to have been left momentarily stunned and without its by-immediate-impulse vitriolic commentary an how awful Trump's latest move is.

If only Wellington would some day reflect the new, intended Washington under Trump.

Ed's opinion:  A very effective way of making sure that the heads of Government agencies don't simply fire the more politically expendable staffers and keep on their high-paid but unproductive cronies. We might be divested of our own "swamp creatures" . . . characters who have nothing better to do with their taxpayer-funded time than to carry on like this.
