The Pentagon fired 6,000 USDA workers.
Elon Musk called it “cleaning house.”
Turns out it was illegal.
They just rehired all 6,000 with full back pay.
Translation:
Musk accidentally gave them a paid vacation with taxpayer money.
This isn’t efficiency.
It’s elite-level stupidity dressed up as power.
@crk5
It's called a reign of terror.
Anyone thinking these 6000 are feeling overly secure in their jobs? Considering that job security is one of the reason to work for the government.

I'm working for the government, and I remember from 30 years ago that job security was not on my list when I went working for the government. It was just a new job for another company (I thought): a next step in my career. I had no clue of the differences (in the Netherlands). Perhaps I was a little naive, but I try to stay that way. 
So, it was just a next step, but I stayed, and now it's for the greater good.
But, I am not everybody else, of course (n=1).
@Hjboon @crk5 @LordCaramac And Europe is very clearly not the USA ;)
I'd even go so far that nearly all countries deal at least slightly different with their civil service.
@crk5 not that it felt like a vacation for them
@crk5 How did the Pentagon fire USDA workers?
