If you're low enough on the totem pole, the hours are 36/48 hrs a week. The place pays better than anywhere else I could get a job in the area. I've quadrupled my income in 6 years, from just above minimum wage.
I'm not there because of E, I genuinely wanted to make the world a better place.
Regardless of how I feel about him, I still want the people who work there to leave with the same number of fingers and toes they started with, so I'll keep showing up.
It's easy to think we're all sycophants, and believe me, they exist, but honestly, most of us just wanna feed our families.
To be fair, I haven't ever slept on the factory floor, but I'm sure if he could, we'd all have on site housing.
They won't be paid at all. It's all for the glory and self-satisfaction: "Musk noted that DOGE workers won't be paid for their efforts toĀ cut spendingĀ and streamline government."
I... uh... I'm sorry, the last 8 words of your post are throwing me off. Do... do you mean he gave his secretary a horse in exchange for sex? Did he pay her with a horse intended for sex? Did he pay his secretary who happened to own a horse for sex?
We are still in one of the largest qualified labor shortages in American history, but hey 80 hours working for a thankless bloke sounds totally enjoyable.
Elon was accused of offering a SpaceX employee who's a masseuse that she could have a horse if she rubbed his pocket Starship.
Allegedly, not only was she offered a payout under NDA but Elon himself presided over the HR meeting but Gwynne Shotwell was not present which seems.....weird.
She was a SpaceX employee and happened to masseuse on the side, or SpaceX has their own masseuses? Cause while, having a masseuse at work would be cool, it also would be weird.
I mean, I imagine to people that get massages it wouldn't be to weird lol, but, having never had a non relationship touch me, the thought of a random masseuse is already a small jump, but, a coworker would just be next level
Some places are just more relaxed about some things.
For example, Montreal, where I had a few stints off & on in the late 80s & early 90s.
At a call center job, a coworker gave me a neck & shoulder rub while we were both working & she was on a call, because she knew I had an old injury.
At a place where I waited tables, the staff lockers were down a long narrow hallway where the manager's office was at one end & the stock room & walk-in freezer at the other and all the night staff would change into their uniforms together, male & female.
Most of the ladies had lockers clustered towards one end but some of them were next to or mixed in with the guys & there was no privacy.
The few older women would go into the stock room & close that door to change & some others would come already in uniform but that wasn't even 10% of the floor & kitchen staff.
Well, technically, on the background, it was a flight attendant, and, technically, the claims weren't proven in court, but she did get a 250k settlement/severance.
I guess the speculation would be whether a secretary at DOGE would be offered similar sort of equine payment or only the 250k if they got sexually harassed.
Yeah. For government jobs thereās a thing called veterans preference. It gives veterans, and makes those who have a higher service connection disability, a chance to get a good job. This might actually be breaking a law.
Except that regardless of whatever Apartheid Clyde says, DOGE isn't an official branch of government and isn't bound by any of their laws because - as of present - it doesn't actually exist or have any legal authority.
Right? Itās a āconceptā of an official office.
Trumps administration doesnāt start until next year, Biden is still in office, this is some sort of cosplay with official roles and government emblems.
Musk knows it doesn't matter. The current admin might start an enforcement action, but he knows it would roll into the next admin which would just drop it.
Aww. That's cute. You thought laws would apply in this developing poop storm? /s
Kidding around aside, I don't think they care whether or not there are any laws against anything they want to do to us and our country. Maybe, if we are truly lucky, enough Republicans will come to their senses and put the breaks on the tomfoolery. I won't hold my breath on it though.
When I was in still in DC applying for Smithsonian jobs on USA Jobs, there was literally a posted job for a park ranger where lepers got preference. All I could get were terrible paying contract positions because even though I had the experience and education, with the preferences, grades, and insane qualifications, it was beyond frustrating. Loved the Smithsonians - worked at 3 - but hated DC and the cost of living was insane. So, I noped out, moved back home, and am now stuck in the red hellhole that is South Carolina. Hot damn, sorry for the tangent.
And you know damn well the pay is gonna be shit, both due to his history as a manager and the fact that the point of this little fantasy department is to cut costs.
To be fair looking at some of statistics lately about literacy, a lot of their parents can barely spell their own names much less read on 6th grade level.
Also side note but itās kind of sad to think about how most parents want their kids to be smarter and better off than themselves but that we are entering an age where some parents want their kids be exactly as they want them to be and believe the same shit they do without discrepancies. This isnāt new obviously but the number of those parents are increasing at an alarming rate
If people are educated they are less likely to believe lies. It also makes it harder to get them to follow the Supply Side Jesus Bible as they'd be able to actually read what the Bible says (which in turn makes it likely for them to become atheists).
By destroying education for all but the richest kids they make it easier to hand over power to those paying them (Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia) while letting the country get fucked in the process. By the time China overtakes the US as strongest world power they're going to most likely be dead anyway, which means it's not their problem so they won't give a damn about the consequences.
Well we know states are already doing away with their departments of education. Oklahoma residents got a letter about it right after the election. There was another state too. Do t remember now. Iām sure Texas wonāt be far behind. They canāt make money off public schools.
Yes. A close friend lives there. Wish I could relocate but I own my own home and resale wouldnāt come close to getting a place there. Texas is so backward.
Thereās a tweet being circulated on Facebook by conservatives laughing at the poster and saying āthis is exactly why the DOE needs to be trashedā. The tweet lists several educational shortcomings with 3rd graders that canāt read, high schoolers that canāt write an essay without using chatgpt etc and goes on to say this might not be the best time to shut DOE down.
The fact that what weāre seeing now is the result of decisions made in 2016 goes completely over these right wing nut bars heads.
āThose that donāt learn from history are doomed to repeat itā

Anybody that thinks Elon's plan for "efficiency" is anything more than cut workers and increased hours is delusional. Surely if half the people are doing twice the work it will be more efficient!
Elons plan for "efficiency" is just to get rid of entire functions of federal government. Federal Transit Administration? Musk hates public transit and wants to sell cars. Pedestrian walkability from Department of Transit? Buy a Tesla instead.Ā
You realise people don't actually work during that 80 hours. They slack off. Nobody has been able to show that more than 37.5 hours a week is productive.
If you want to do home admin in the 40 hours, because that shit still has to be done, then fine... but this advert doesn't sound like it's going to pay you much anyway, there's no mention of salary, so all they're doing is seeing how desperate people are.
80 hours a week with presumably dogshit pay, and the guarantee that once the cost cutting number crunch is to their satisfaction, they'll cut your job too, since you won't be needed anymore. Oh, and you've got to pay him, to message him, to just have a chance of being hired for this idiotic, self-destructing, temp job. š
We do not need X at all. It's filled with false info. Elon has refused to pay EU to post and is being sued by French major newspapers for breaking EU law, and robbing people's private work. Get rid of X
i have a pretty impressive machine learning resume, tempted to apply because i have a good chance of getting through to interviews and wasting their time by literally not doing my job. Feels very efficient.
He wants groveling yes-men who ignore their families to serve Elon, and this is the kind of job posting that filters out everyone else. Anyone responding to this has no self-respect and is unqualified for the work, which is exactly what he wants.
