I was forced today

72. How's that?

I mean, I don't like doing it because it's another task I have to keep up with, but the managers want to keep up on what is happening in condensed form. They then sometimes call and ask details about certain items for various reason including budgeting, etc. I've seen people get reprimanded for not doing anything, and I've also seen the information lead to hiring more people when there is a deficiency in staff levels in certain areas. Many times, I've been able to get new equipment because of some old troublemaker piece of gear is costing more money than it's saving. Frankly, I don't find it offensive at all for the people who are paying me to want to know what I'm doing all day. Seems pretty fair to me in my environment. What DOGE is up to is another argument altogether, but I don't think asking for the information is something to get all bent up about. What they may do with it is another story though. We'll know eventually, but it's kind of hard with all the bullcrap that is being spread around right now, and I'd say damn near all of it is just that; bullcrap. That's why I get irritated with these things, no one seems to want to be honest about anything and I am stuck sifting through a sea of lies and misinformation.
