You could cut 80% of the government workforce and everything would run no more poorly than it does now
At least 80%, maybe more around 90% with massive surplus.
Absolutely correct
Your gosh darn right on that ,
Incorrect. The lack of bureaucracy that everything would have to run through would make things run better.
@@kaipo8085 nice gaslighting, you and everyone knows they weren't talking about the military.
Please FIRE this woman
For?
@elephantoflight3362 you can't be serious.
@@elephantoflight3362 Fire her for not being able to do her job. It's that simple
@@elephantoflight3362 Incompetence. If your job is to be the head of the Department of Labor and you can't answer basic questions pertaining to your duties with a straight answer when questioned by one of your superiors in the government, then you are obviously not qualified for the job that you have been given.
Do you think treating people like family at work is a good thing? "I think that treating people with dignity and respect..." She was asked a yes or no question, and she refused to give a clear answer.
Earlier, you said if your boss at work said that everybody at work was like a family, then you might need a union. Why would that be? Once again, she provided no clear answer.
Should every federal employee show up for work every day? "First, I do want to say again because anything to the contrary is both non-factual and, I think, highly offensive. that the employees in the Department of Labor have been working incredibly hard..." Didn't answer the question and got offended for no reason.
The last part of the discussion had to do with the fact that federal employees from the Department of Labor showed up to work, not to work, but to protest after they were told that they would have to show up for work at least 50 percent of the time. Then Bob Good said ", They showed up to work in person to protest having to show up to work in person. Do you see the irony in that?" "Congressman, I don't think it's right to ridicule the hard work of federal employees." That was once again a yes or no question and I think it further proves the case for incompetence. If her subordinates aren't even showing up for work then how much work is actually getting done. I'm aware that they are probably doing work remotely but my guess is that they were being called in and told to show up for work 50 percent of the time because there was not enough work getting done.
@@elephantoflight3362incompetence, for one
She is not qualified for the job….if you have never owned or run a business you should not be in this position
She needs to be fired! No back pay!
DEI on full display
_Didn't Earn It_
Fire this lady!!!
This is the most inept administration in the history of the world.
Except it’s worse than being inept. They are INTENTIONALLY destroying the country. It’s almost beyond belief.
Another DEI FAIL. and we are all PAYING in so many ways...
Why is this woman here?
She has not been approved by the Senate and shouldn’t be there…..
She needs to go yesterday.
She's been coached on how to burn up the representative's 5 minutes. Ummmmm, I thiiiinnnnnnk....
Where do they find these idiots? Seriously, who acts like this? Imagine having this kryptonite grenade in YOUR office.
Now realize this is the norm for 95% of people in her position. She's not there for her intelligence or her competence.
California. Any more questions? LOL
DEI
Marxists got a hold of the government and are rotting this country from the inside
I’d be pissed if those do nothing congress people started coming at me like that. Get off your soapbox and ask a question and let people answer.
Good God why can't she just say it's ok to be treated like family? Wtf is wrong with these people
My family treats me like shit. I don't want to be treated like family.
@@bargeman100 so what. You still treat family better than strangers. She knew exactly what was meant by that and couldn't answer
Alot of people *who object to it* take treat like family to mean we will ask you to do extra things without compensation, or letting policy slide when it benefits the business over the employee. either because their negative bias from their own family, or from bosses who have used that logic before to justify overreach.
2nd edit ~Trying to address where the disconnect arises not justify.
Straight up communism. Communism destroys the family and bans religious worship. Totalitarianism.
It depends own how she treats her family, LOL
George and Klaus said " stick to the script ", and she followed it unquestioningly.
I’m retired but I had to SHOW UP EVERYDAY when I was working…EVERYDAY!!!!!!!! Our government SUCKS!! 🤬
It is ridiculous that federal employees are still working from home! Milking the COVID cow! We should all start calling our representatives and demanding that they all get back to work!
Why pay for the office space? That uses more of our tax money. We should send non-essential employees remote where it makes sense and if they have the ability to fulfill their role and responsibilities they keep their job. If management can't manage remote employees then that is likely a manager problem not an employee one.
@@Rationalityislost101 Can management manage from home? or on vacation?
@@lewcrowley3710 I know I can. I don't see why they couldn't. We live in a digital age, with chat platforms that allow access to teams of people in an instant. If managers want to track productivity and other useful KPIs of their workforce then they need to design the workflow to provide a measureable output that can be used to determine if someone is doing their job at home or not.
Again, we aren't discussing positions that are frontline and require physical presence. The majority of gov workers aren't needed to be physically present to do their job as long as the IT infrastructure exists and that proper access controls for confidential information are adhered to.
She never owned a business. She got the job because she is ethnic. Period.
Tttttttoooiiikkkkeeeenn.
Any evidence?
@@elephantoflight3362 do your own homework
@@elephantoflight3362You’re watching it.
@@PaineStakingTruth Gossip is not evidence
She’s a professional Democrat, constantly spinning an answer 😵💫
Please name one person in the Biden administration that will answer a question directly.
Can't. None of them do.
How did this lulu lemon get this position? 😮
the same way all of the Biden Admin got their jobs...by being the worst possible candidate for the job. Look at their Boss.
Look how masterfully she wastes the time of the people questioning her, that's why. If you can stall out that 5 mins the democratic party will pay you handsomely
You have no doubt how and you’re 100%correct . DEI all the way. Could switch with the vp and nobody would notice
Fire her and jail her. Investigate where money goes.
They need to come to work, every single day to draw a check, or be fired. Period.
So something you forget is cost of offices. If there is not a need to have a central building. Then get rid of it as it’s more of our money being wasted. That said some accountability is needed for ones who work at home. As in they are at the desk working or in field work.
Once they get past there probation period they can't be fired and don't give a F------------k
@@DaveL188 oh, I know. That's something that needs to be changed.
@@warp9p659 what needs to be done is to abolish all agency that are not in the enumerated powers of the federal government. They are all unconstitutional.
OMG! This lady is in charge of Labor Laws and Policy’s!! This is how far our government has fallen.
Almost 3 million in Federal government. at 2.3 trillion payroll a year. Cut it down to 500,000!
When will people learn, you can't run anything, using emotions instead of rules.
I take it very seriously" Why is it that the defemination of success on the job for federal workers is not to DO the job but just to take seriously when someone asks you why you didnt do your job.
We need contempt of Congress charges every time a person goes off into a monologue and ignores the question they were asked.
Exactly. They have no power it happens every time. Contempt is what needs to be done. They miles way claim the 5 th
How do you answer a "question" that can't be answered with a simple yes or no?
@@7Ossi5 they should know. That's what their job is
When under oath, refusing to answer a question should be considered lying, and held accountable for it. These committees have oversight "requirements" under our laws, and these witnesses should be forced to answer questions.
DEI WORD SALAD again and again
Seems to be incompetent abound throughout this administration
As a federal employee that WENT to work every day, even through the 2020 cold season, I can say for a fact that those asshats who called themselves “teleworking or remote working were NOT working!
Another DEI employee
I hate how these Secretaries always use their employees as shields. Wray and Garland do the same thing. Anytime you critique the department they always say, "i have 100,000 hard working servants'
So hard to watch…
My same thought. I watch few with her. I thought nothing could be worse than aoc. Well I'm not sure anymore. This shouldn't be allowed in anyway.
She has serious issues are government is broken
I'll tell you first hand about Federal workers not showing up in person. I work in a VA hospital, I worked the entire pandemic and was deemed to be an essential worker. I was given a one time award for this of $1500. 98% of these employees are GS Scale that still don't come to work. As far as I'm concerned they all got a raise. They now have no commute time, gas to buy or wear and tear on their vehicles. I still show up every day to take care of our Veterans.
The Biden Admin is so lost.
If I didnt show up 50% of the time I would have been fired by now what the actually f
First, the thick woman says everyone should get a good days pay for a good days work and then when she’s asked should federal employees turn up for work every day ? Nothing? Dinlo
It all my jobs I always had to show up for work. If I didn't I got fired and that should be the mantra for this.
How about going back to 100% of their schedule.
Answer the question or be held in contempt
I've listened to multiple people question this secretary. She hasn't answered one question. Lots of excuses.
Lol there is no such thing as a "family atmosphere" in the workplace anymore
Incredible............
Fire all of these scuzzy public union HACKS!
I worked as a contractor for 2 years at Bosch. NOrmally they only have contractors for a year ..but Nick did his best to keep for me for two ..He was one of the best managers I've ever had..
working from home is a scam
So just fire them
Short answer her family ran small business like a family and she hate her family for doing that.
DEI at work,she should be fired
Well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These people should be held in contempt for refusing to answer questions.
PLEASE FIRE THIS WOMAN IMMEDIATELY!!!!
“Family” is a major red flag. Along with “competitive pay”. 🤦🏼♂️
Not really..our company is employee owned is very family oriented to the point we have multiple and I mean multiple events a year. Competitive pay and benefits as well as retirement. Soooooo what's the red flag with that?
@@masqueradebell2601 Yes really. Every company I’ve worked for that uses things like family, Christian, and competitive pay is just advertising that they’re going to talk a good game and then screw me on the back end.
Also, have you asked your employees what they want? I’m assuming they would rather have the money you spend on the event than the event itself. 🙄🤦🏼♂️
Get Back To work in the office!
she refused to say - she was a small business owner. but she demand hyper union imposition into all workplaces
Her answer to 99% of her questions, no matter what they are is, "I think every human should be treated with respect and dignity." A broken record.
OMG!! This is insane!! DEI is all through this administration!! Nobody knows WTF they're doing!
Not everyone needs to be in the office.
What about the public health department? What about our DSPS offices in our States???
As a taxpayers. If you refused to show up to work at the office. Then you should be FIRED! I don't believe you earn your salary, if i got to pay for it!
She needs to be removed from office and they have charges filed against her.
DEI FLUNKIE!
If they won't answer the question, hold them in contempt.
There seems to me no control of employees in the Government, maybe they should implement private sector norms.
The running joke is that when the bosses say “we’re” family it means that they plan to take advantage of your loyalty. Meaning they don’t treat you like family at all. That’s what she meant. Why she couldn’t just say that? I don’t know.
I went to work every day through Covid NO EXCUSES !!
The bureaucrats and their unions have made it almost impossible to fire them for incompetence. this has to change
Bob Good is the most conservative Congressman in the nation
The ironic part is some of these people working from home are filing workers comp claims !! How do you get hurt working from a desk at home ! And they are putting in for overtime pay working from home !!
Well if you are working past set shift hours to which end total is greater than 40 hours. It’s overtime pay, funny how that works. There are quite a few jobs that are under staffed but expected to keep up same work level.
It doesnt matter what agenct none of these bureaucrats answer the question asked
Why can't she answer any questions?
If my job treated me the way my family does, I'd quit.
Acting Labor Sec. Su has been acting Sec for over a year and has failed to be confirmed twice already. It is time she is replaced with another applicant. There should be a limit on how long a person can fill in for a position. She is making laws that are not wanted by the majority of the people she is supposed to work for. This is not good.
If working remotely is as productive as working in person, why did these workers feel the need to show up in person to register their protests?
I’m so glad we can watch these hearings! I know EXACTLY who these people are now.
Dude... if an employer ever says "were like a family here" it means I'm comfortable abusing you, been proven time and time again in my life
I think she huffs spray paint.
This woman is exasperating! Fire her yesterday, please!!!
She is so full of crap needs to be fired ASAP
This is a perfect example of why we should stop paying federal income tax ...
Why not relieve her of her duties????
I have friends at the VA that work remote, they wake up, log on to their computer, answer a few emails, then run a program that keeps the computer active doing menial tasks until 10-11, then really wake up, eat lunch for a couple hours, answer a few more emails, then maybe do 2-3 hours of work and log off early around 330.
HA HA! "I don't know why they didn't protest remotely"!
And yet younger people are now demanding that the workplace fulfills all of their social needs, like having moms, dads and personal counsellors?
She’s gotta go! She shouldn’t have been there in the first place
What part of the Constitution authorizes any activity by the federal government that would justify a "Labor Secretary".
Abusive people ask questions without really caring to hear the answer & then interrupt every time you try to answer. Feeling sorry for bob good's family.
90% OF IRS EMPLOYEES ARE WORKING FROM HOME !! WHAT HAPPENED TO GET UP AND GO TO WORK TO THE COMPANY ?????
Wow I've never seen someone have such a hard time of just saying yes or no. She has crazy dodging skills.
It is just disgusting that these people cannot answer a simple yes or no question
Why is it that 100% of government employees cannot answer these questions?
I worked for a family owned company for 20 years we were treated like just that family. The owner passed we were brought out by a bigger company claming to be family unionized and the was a much worse place to work.
I’ve never had a job where I could just show up when I felt like it! Wtf?
😂😂😂American Government employees physically going to work😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good for that rep!! There’s sooo much federal bloat no normal company could function on a 40% deficit year after year, for that company to survive they would have to make CUTS which is exactly what this country needs.
I'm retired from a government job and let me say that no employee works even close to hard. It is a f##king joke!
I think I think I think! She doesn't think!
Why don’t they know if she ever had a small business. Get the information from the government or FBI.
Not all family is good buddy
If this was the private sector and you show up only 50% of the time, you are fired
Who in the hell hired this woman. Holy crap she should not be in that position
