Donald Trump has employed a Spongebob Squarepants meme in a controversial new directive to US government employees, requiring them to report their accomplishments weekly or resign. This tactic aligns with the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) initiative led by Elon Musk, who has emphasized accountability and efficiency within federal agencies. As part of these efforts, massive layoffs are happening across federal departments, leading to a significant reduction in workforce, particularly affecting probationary employees. Critics argue that these measures reflect a troubling trend of consolidating power and diminishing support for government workers.
In recent weeks, DOGE has been at the heart of controversial moves to cut federal funding and foreign aid.
Thousands of employees across the government have been forcefully laid off over continued large-scale reductions.
Donald Trump responded to growing concern over the continued dismissal of the government's civilian federal workforce with a Spongebob Squarepants meme.
Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation, he said.
