A federal worker at a Virginia town hall is bemoaning the standard audit procedures many in the private sector endure quite often. He tells horror stories of employees having to describe what their job entails and worries of cuts. Oh, the humanity!
Government worker says 19-year-old DOGE employees are having 15 minute interviews with federal employees to “justify their existence” before determining if they should be fired.
An unnamed federal worker spoke out at a town hall event in Virginia.“I just wanted to share some things that are going on at my agency… [Musk] visited the building called for a 50% cut of the entire agency.”
“My colleagues are getting 15 minute one-on-one check-ins with 19, 20 and 21-year-old college graduates asking to justify their existence.”
No, you absolute dumbf*ck ... they're not asking you to "justify your existence" ... they're asking you to describe what it is that you do in exchange for your quite significant salary and benefits in the government workplace - BIG DIFFERENCE! You are getting well-paid to SERVE the American People, so tell them how you provide such service, day in and day out. It really shouldn't be all that difficult, so quit being a weak-kneed snowflake about it.
Here’s video.

Many posters had a hard time empathizing with the federal worker because having to explain one’s work duties during audits is commonplace in the private sector.
This shouldn’t be hard to do even as a federal employee.
Dana L. Coe (@danalcoe) ~ If you can’t explain what you do at a job in 15 minutes, then you don’t really do anything.
Isaac (@isaac_saas) ~ You should be able explain why your job matters in 15 minutes to a 19 year old.
QualityQueen (@pbparsons) ~ Actually, 3 minutes should be enough to explain the relevance of your job, and why it is necessary for the overall objectives of the organization. Try it ... 3 minutes is longer than you think.

Most commenters’ mind immediately went to the movie, Office Space.

The unfamiliarity with employee interviews shows how sheltered many of these federal workers are.
Suzanne Arundale (@GlammaSooz) ~ People have had to do this for decades in private business.
AnneM (@Lindseylawyer06) ~ Lots of people have to do that in the real world when a company restructures, etc.
It must be shocking to be a government employee who has never had to worry about being fired or laid off and suddenly experiencing what it’s like to live as average Americans. Welcome to the real world.
