To the editor: “What did you do final week?” — this was requested of federal staff, together with healthcare personnel comparable to Dr. Venktesh Ramnath, to justify their salaries. (“What did I do final week? I took care of your loved ones, associates and fellow residents,” Opinion, Feb. 24)
After I learn Ramnath’s response to that query, I couldn’t assist however really feel that for all of the demanding of solutions, the Workplace of Personnel Administration actually didn’t need to hear anybody’s response. Chalk this as much as the president, as soon as once more, simply throwing a wrench into the works and making an attempt to complicate the each day routines of those federal staff already working beneath practically unimaginable situations.
Ultimately, Ramnath did one thing I normally frown upon, however on this case was completely justified — he answered a query with a query, however not till after answering the OPM’s query in an intensive, full, concise means.
What did the OPM do? I’d certainly love to listen to the response to Ramnath’s query.

To the editor: Due to Ramnath for exposing this newest gambit from Elon Musk for the nonsense that it’s.
We’ve got been advised that the so-called Division of Authorities Effectivity is tasked with rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. Clearly requiring an worker to justify what they’ve executed for the previous week on no account determines if the place itself is an instance of waste, fraud and abuse.
If this train is the most effective concept that DOGE may give you for fulfilling its mission, then I feel it’s honest to conclude that what it did for the previous seven days is an ideal instance of losing and abusing taxpayer {dollars}.

To the editor: If Musk is requiring federal staff to submit solutions on what they did over the past week or be fired, shouldn’t that additionally apply to the Home, Senate and White Home?
