What does the administration want the names for if not to use it against them?
DC is about to be Trumped.
God Bless the United States of America.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Every day when I go on FR and read what the President-elect and his people are doing, it confirms for me that GOD really is watching over the USA, and I am motivated to thank Him for the enormous blessings He is bestowing upon us through His servant, DONALD JOHN TRUMP.
Maybe he wants to prepare commendations (or treats). Their next commands will be “play dead” and “roll over.”
And maybe I'll hit the Lotto this weekend too.
This is probably obvious but the workforce isn’t the issue. The problem is the number of regulations that requires those in the energy field to respond to and those at the energy department to review and the overhead required. There are a lot of these departments, who are underfunded and understaffed, are simply trying to keep up with the thousands of government regulations. Just simply waste.
The only way to downsize the agencies is to do away with the regulations.
What is the ‘energy output’ of those 100,000 employees???
Don’t make the mistake that W made. Purge them all.
AND from the bottom up, and from the sides inward.
Then show Rick Perry, on camera, shutting off the main breaker...de-energizing the Energy Dept.
If you fire them....they will merely take you to court and you will have to have cause-and-reason...too much paperwork, if you ask me.
So, you start in January, with the travel budget cut by 90-percent.
In Feb, you eliminate all travel outside of the US itself.
In March, you direct that for each ten billets that become empty...HR can only hire one single replacement....no matter what grade or profession they are.
In April, you decide to do a building renovation project and temporarily move a quarter of all employees to some building that is half-way to Baltimore.
In May, you bring in a management consulting company to do a business audit and quality review...making everyone participate for at least six to eight weeks.
In July, you introduce a rule that requires all lawyers within the organization to be trained for such-and-such certification (worthless in nature, but it consumes 60 man-hours of their time).
In August, you mandate that the word “toxic” is bad to use and a new word must be used. You start to repeat this procedure every other week.
In September, you cut half of the IT contractor support....so that systems are down longer in the future.
Week by week, you make their future miserable. By the end of the year...at least a quarter of the folks there have resumes out and seeking new employment. By the end of two years....roughly one-third of all employees have left for other jobs. No cost impact to the government....other than wasting their time and making them to do unnecessary work.
Well, I can see where 32 billion can be shaved from the budget.
They’ve had a hard time staffing Yucca Mountain jobs, the pool just got larger.
How many of them are “at will”?
No problem. You appointed a new Head, when they take over they issue a memo to all department heads with that request those that do not comply get fired. Grade school time will soon be over. The adults are coming!
“… it is good to fire a government employee from time to time, it encourages the performance the others” A reasoned application of the “Byng Protocol” will greatly improve performance plus the morale of the diligent.

It’s Trump’s team who wants the names.
Unless your use of the word “Administration” means Trump, but that is confusing, as only Obama fits that at the present time.
Those names will be provided on Jan 21st. :-)
I'm not sure that's 100% true in this case.
As the article states, Dept of Energy has about 10,000 Federal employees, but over 100,000 contractors.
Eliminating contracts (and therefore the contractors) doesn't need a court order.
The contract is just not renewed. Easy-peasy.
100k contractors?
What, are most of those some schmoes out in the field offering “free” energy audits or something?
If so, I doubt they are the major problem.
Good ideas. I don’t think Trump will have any problem working the system against them. He is smart and they are stupid and lazy. Make them do “something” and they will leave en mass.
It just makes it easy. They can fire them for cause. Refused a direct order.
