    Oddly enough, I was recently forced to give my employer a list of my accomplishments from the past year. Time for a new fucking job

      mine would have us do a list of goals and then we would need to update as we got. our goals would be based on corporate goals. of course by the end of the year half the stuff from the start of the year made no sense relative to what we had done.

      My job has reviews every six months and we write a statement of our own accomplishments as part of it. These are taken into account as part of the review. That kind of accountability is fine.

      Requiring federal workers to send weekly emails that won’t be read by anyone for the express purpose of making them feel unsafe in their jobs and demoralizing them into quitting, especially when you’re completely outside of their reporting chain, is basically bureaucratic terrorism.

        If your manager doesn’t already know what you’ve accomplished and praised you for it, they don’t deserve the job

          The manager is never the one setting those policies, except at very small companies

            They should still shield the employee from said shit policies. You don’t quit a job. You quit a manager. If you disagree, you’re a shit manager, or have never had one

              I’m not really sure why you feel like it’s OK to attack me for responding to you, but it’s not. People quit jobs for all kinds of reasons, like money or growth opportunities that are limited based on the needs of the company or moving because of family. Not everyone who quits a job is unhappy with it. I could go on, but I don’t think you’re interested in listening to other points of view, so I’ll spare us both.

    Every hour there’s a different news story saying musk said send the emails, then this office said don’t worry, then trump said send the email, then another office said dont, then another office said send cryptic because any communications needs to be seen as being disseminated to enemy foreign actors. yeah, i wouldn’t want to be a federal employee anytime in the next couple decades.
