Peter Thiel says that remote work meant not working and showed how powerful workers had become, so when it comes to federal government employees, 94% of whom work from home, "isn't that the lesson we should draw from these 4 or 5 years of the government workers not working,... show more

It’s odd how all the “bosses” aren’t in the office and always on these podcast but they expect everyone under them to be 7-6 everyday.

Does Thiel have a permanent layer of perspiration covering his body now? Every time I see him he's glistening like a glazed donut.

I would like to see the data proving they are not working. Every instance I have seen of this turned out to be bullshit. Sure there are some here and there fire those people.

the anti wfh sentiment comes from the fact that it places the burden on management to actually manage and determine who and who wasn’t working by how effectively they were completing their work. employees work - management often does not.

What’s going on with the dudes face ? Seems like the young boy blood transfer program having some bugs in the code.

Way to paint with a broad paintbrush. I get better work and more work done at home remote as a software engineer. It's not for everyone though!

Nvidia is crushing every business and is fully remote. Run the cost benefit analysis look at the numbers. 47 years of oil left and Thiel, Musk, Fink want everyone burning the remaining oil, and their precious time in traffic and their response when confronted will always be anecdotal and backed by emotional arguments that are not factually relevant. “I just feel like it’s better” absurdity. Follow the money.

let's do that experiment! We should fire everyone and see what happens! It will be interesting data...

In Texas, we go to work in the morning. In the federal government, only 5-10% of government employees bother to show up. When President Trump comes into office, these federal workers are either going to come to work or be fired.

President Trump signed an executive order yesterday mandating that federal workers need to show up in person for work. Currently, 94% of federal employees work from home. Many of our government headquarters are empty. Either show up for work, or YOU’RE FIRED!

You can’t make this up… Federal employees showed up to the office — not to work — but to protest returning to work. Department of Government Efficiency and I are fighting to get Washington working for YOU!

🚨Marc Andreessen on Federal Workers working from home: "Most Federal workers never came back to work. They work from home. Something like half. They still draw paychecks, they still have their jobs, but they're not in the office. There are some agencies that are both unionized AND have civil service protections and they've negotiated a deal where people have to come in one day a MONTH. What they do is they come in on the last day of the month and the first day of the following month so they only have to be there for two days then they go move somewhere cheaper and keep the same paycheck. This is what DOGE aims to stop."

'There's an assumption that people working from home are lazy and that's not true.' A survey has found that half of us would reject a pay increase of 15% if it meant we had to give up working from home. But should you be entitled to a pay rise if you work from home?

The best take ever on a Government Shutdown “So if the government shuts down, nonessential employees don't work. Well, that obviously leads to the real question of why does the government have any employees that are nonessential? If you're nonessential to the function of our federal government, you should not be part of our federal government.” “And right there is the reason for DOGE”

Just days ago an American went to “The parking lot of the Department of Labor and Economic opportunity in Lansing, Michigan” This is a government office during working hours. There are essentially no cars in the entire lot. No workers even though they’re all still being paid “Take a look — Most of these workers, and 20,000 of them in the state of Michigan, they went home. They've been working from home ever since. — When you call the office, you'll get a voicemail. It'll direct you somewhere. Why are they not at work? And if they need to keep working at home, do we really need the buildings that they were in? That's a big question many people are asking. I want to know what you think about this in the comments below. When it comes to working at home. And as you can see here in Lansing, at least in this state parking lot, there's not many cars. Let me know what you're thinking about this.”

🚨RUBIO: USAID rife with “rank insubordination” — “we had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this thing under control." "They have basically evolved into an agency that believes that they're not even a U.S. government agency...they're completely unresponsive. They just don't consider that they work for the US." "They just think they're a global entity and that their master is the globe and not the United States. And that's not sustainable." “The goal was to reform it. But now we have rank insubordination. Their basic attitude is we don't work for anyone. We work for ourselves. No agency of government can tell us what to do." ."There are things that are happening at USAID that we should not be involved in funding and or that we have a lot of questions about, but they're completely uncooperative. So we had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this thing under control."

MUST WATCH: "We have to acknowledge that we are slaves" "We are the only country in the world that is asked to go to work, then pay MOST of our money back to the government" "If we live to work, to provide most of our money back to the government... we are legitimately slaves to the government." "We exist to fund the government. That is not free."

Jessica: You need to talk about the 3,400 people who were fired from the fire service. Trump was out in California talking about how we need more people working on this, we need to be raking the leaves… 57% of the land there is run by the Federal Government Firing these disease detectives when we have measles outbreaks, you could talk about that. The nuclear weapons workers that were fired and they had to be rehired because that was a mistake… or even that they’re firing air traffic controllers
