"Last week’s New York Times investigation into how mega-billionaire Elon Musk created Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] and executed “a radical takeover of the federal bureaucracy” included the odd tidbit that he “had a DOGE T-shirt emblazoned with a quote from one of his favorite movies, ‘Office Space’: ‘What would you say you do here?’”
The line from the Mike Judge-directed movie—delivered by one of the two soulless management consultants named Bob eager to impose layoffs—clearly influenced the subject line of Musk’s email to federal employees, “What did you do last week?” The email directive was paired with a social media post claiming, “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” (After several agency leaders told employees not to respond, Musk sent around another email titled, “What did you do last week? Part II.”)"
