DOGE, what are you doing?
You aren’t forensic auditors. You aren’t financial experts of any kind.
You aren’t government workers. You have never staffed or planned a headcount for an agency or department.
You aren’t supply chain managers. You have never negotiated a contract, let alone a government contract.
You have no experience with grants or administration of grants.
You have no experience with education administration. Or research administration. Or field administration.
You have no background in organizational change management.
You have no background in risk management. You don’t understand risk tolerance, risk avoidance, or risk mitigation.
You have no experience with crisis management. You don’t even know how to undo the things that you have broken by your actions.
You aren’t even very good at the job you purport to know; writing search queries, or parsing data, or analyzing large blocks of information.
You are breaking federal security standards.
You are breaking privacy laws.
You are stealing data.
You are compromising the personal information of US citizens.
And you are not transparent in your actions.
Everything you are doing right now goes against ethical coding.
Everything you are doing right now goes against developmental standards (ISO 31000, DevOps, Agile Practice, SAFe, Site Reliability Engineering).
The likelihood is that your actions open our data to compromise.
The likelihood is that our country, our security, and our people are more at-risk.
The likelihood is that your work will be successfully hacked by threat actors.
The likelihood is that you may already be personally compromised.
So, once again, what are you doing?
