Crime The inefficiency is the point - government retirement documents kept in old mine

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

Federal retirements really are sorted by hand in an old mine. Elon Musk knocked the system.

Hundreds of federal workers process thousands of retirement applications every month, by hand in a converted former mine.

OPM aims to process applications in 60 days or less – and have a backlog of unprocessed applications of no more than 13,000 at a time. It met the goal for average processing time for just five of the last 16 months and the backlog goal for none of those months, according to its own data.

This is why they're freaking out about getting audited. It's so much worse than anyone could have imagined.

It's all one big grift. A cathedral to government inefficiency.

Not worse than I imagined, brother… we ain’t seen nothing yet!

Lmao no attempt to defend this, I see.

But but but Leon man bad!

Cant wait to see them go through the DoD

Unless you're trying to create some non-electronic backups, don't see any reason the process shouldn't be modernized.

This is why they're freaking out about getting audited.

Not sure what you think an audit would reveal here. Not even sure you have a clear idea of what said audit would look like. People keep tossing around the word as some magic bullet for any budgeting or spending issue.

 

[Rob Battisti]

I remember when DOGE was proposed and I was fully on board with it and posters were crying that it would be so costly to run the department that it shouldn’t even be attempted.

JFC why can’t people just want things to be examined for waste!

This sounds like the cave workers have to fight a balrog from time to time.

When they say "processing retirements", I gotta assume this means processing people for retirement benefits. What does America have for that? Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan is what we have up north. Not a big payout, but infinitely better than nothing.

It's for processing governmenent employee retirements.

Every institution that handles historical data, such as government bureaucracies and libraries, has to contend with when to update large databases with the latest technology.

It would be more efficient to disallow people to submit paper applications, but you will run into privacy issues of government officials having easy access to all of your data. Digital ID?

Also, my province of Alberta is transitioning to electronic health records, and there is concern that vaccination records are being lost: Lost or disappeared (to avoid a leak of the kind that Gary Davidson effected in New Zealand to expose a health signal in the Covid-19 vaccinations)? A person shredding physical documents runs the risk of being recorded, but electronic records can be more easily manipulated.

I'm pleased to see the low cost efficiency gains made by employing a tricycle, healthy too.

If OAS and CPP are still taking paper applications then I can guarantee that the Canadian public service is running a similar setup, except not in a cool mountain.

This is fucking stupid. Get a RAID 10 array or whatever today's equivalent is... I've been out of the server game for a while. Anyways what such arrays do, and they are very common, is stripe drives with data across multiple drives. So if one fails the information is not lost. Then, you get redundant arrays in other locations and there is no risk of loss of data. The current process is why the U.S. Gov't is so expensive.

The solution I just shared may be dated, but it's way better than the shit they are doing. I am sure there is likely an even better solution than what I shared today.

We aren't freaking out about departments getting audited. We are pissed off that an autist demagogue and his group of incel minions have access to some of this country's most sensitive material with no clearance and no oversight.

Oh you mean like Hillary Clinton's lawyers that got to go through her SAP Clearance Level emails?

Trump can instantly give them clearances you goof. That's how it works.

You still doing "but Hillary"? And sure, Trump can give them clearance. Do you really think these kids and Elon should have clearance to have access to all of our info? There is no way you could look at this from the other side and imagine the DEMs doing this and being ok with it, Rip.

YES! 100% YES!

You know who else thinks so.... 70%+ of Americans. We have rejected the waste, corruption, and abuse that you want to protect.

In your first sentence you cry about Whataboutism... in your last sentence you engage in Whataboutism.

Your position is that 70%+ agree with what President Elon is doing? QFT.

Whataboutism aside, how can you be OK with the executive branch bypassing Congress and violating the Constitution. I was indoctrinated during the Reagan years, and I take the Constitution quite seriously.

You don't seem to know the constitution. You're just spewing Left Cult talking points.
