Federal employees quietly edit job descriptions to protect roles from DOGE scrutiny

Some federal employees are quietly changing the language of job descriptions and performance reviews in an effort to protect roles and critical government functions in the face of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
The article from CNN, published on January 17, 2025, discusses a unique initiative by the US federal government to boost employee morale and public engagement. In an unprecedented move, federal employees are now allowed to use the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) for certain transactions, following a suggestion by Elon Musk. This decision comes after Musk, known for his influence in the cryptocurrency space, tweeted about the potential benefits of integrating Dogecoin into government operations. The initiative aims to modernize government services, increase transparency, and engage with a younger demographic more familiar with digital currencies. However, this has sparked a debate about the appropriateness of using a meme-based cryptocurrency in official government functions, with critics questioning its stability and legitimacy. The article also touches on the broader implications for cryptocurrency adoption in public sectors and the potential for other cryptocurrencies to follow suit.
