would respond to HR@opm.gov. Guess that's not considered fraud and abuse.

DOGE & Trump will make some mistakes - this will happen because speed is needed

Government employees in do-nothing (and frequently counter productive) jobs don’t care about cutting waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Neither do the NGOs (with their well paid to richly paid employees / principals) that the elected politicians use to support the federal agencies … and that in turn kick back money via circuitous channels to the bureaucrats and elected officials.
Exposing and stopping the abuse and fraud must be done at breakneck speed before the bureaucrats, elected representatives, and their money-launderer NGOs have time to move the money and hide it. Slowing down DOGE is exactly what the bureaucrats, politicians, and NGOs need.
That is why DOGE must work at breakneck speed to expose the fraud. Speed usually leads to mistakes. Mistakes given, DOGE has exposed far more waste than it has created waste.
Every bureaucrat, politician, and NGO is fully aware that the positive aspects of DOGE (for the ‘unconnected’ taxpayers) has far outweighed the negative aspects.
THAT is why they are so worried, and working overtime to get their gullible sheep bleating their propaganda for them.

They could have done lay offs just as easy after finding out what the laid off people actually do as they could just firing everyone.
You keep wanting to compare corporations to the US govt, and no company would ever just go randomly whack a bunch of folks and not understand what value they bring. They'd go out of business.

That’s the whole point.
The US government had become a hopelessly bloated white elephant, and because of ‘tradition’ plus a psychological condition of surrender & hopelessness (that applies to non-special interest Americans I.e., non-politicians, non-bureaucrats, non-NGO parasites … these people’s livelihoods depend upon the govt’s bloat and waste).
DOGE has the purpose of applying private sector efficiency processes to the torpid carcass of American government.
Of course the DOGE process is unusual for the government. Many government rules are un-Constitutional, but have never been challenged because there were so many ‘insiders’ who liked the un-Constitutional rules to be ‘the law.’

It's pretty obvious that some of y'all will never concede that Musk is creating a big mess doing what he's doing.
I'm tired, and no one is changing anyone's mind here. I've had enough tonight.

But companies want to know what their workers accomplished in order to decide which one's have to go. No different here.

All of the accidental firings of critical personnel says more about the incompetence of Leon and his incels more than anything else. In the end, all the best people will leave government service and government contractor jobs and we will have Trump-level incompetence everywhere. Russia and TrumPutin win.
