The effects of the national garden service have also struck. One of the employees was ready to go on a trip to oversee road maintenance in a national memorial when the change came into effect on February 20. “I don’t want to pay for myself, I cannot go, I cannot pay the price of my hotel, my rented car, the fuel of the car. Now I cannot do the task,” says the employee. “Today, instead of focusing on other works, I focus on three different emergencies on how to deal with this. Do I go? Do I call my engineering team and ask them to reschedule? If so, when, when? The project is in an unlimited contract.”
A written note for employees in the National Park Service service was determined that “all the travel not related to national security, public safety, or immigration enforcement must be canceled if it begins on Wednesday 26 February until the end of March 2025.” A long -term decision on the travel policy will come “later.” Some NPS staff managed to travel in February, although there was no official permit. They have now been told that it will not be allowed to travel in March. So far, nearly 75 flights have been canceled or rescheduled, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The National Park service did not respond to a request to comment from WIRED.
Some government employees say they were warned before the change announced on February 20. “We went out and bought cases and cases of toilet paper the night before.” “There is general recognition that things will be broken.”
This employee works in the Western Pacific region, which runs the federal lands in California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Idahu, Nevada, as well as the gardens in Arizona, Montana, Jamen and Samoa, USA. Although GSA allowed exceptions to the clamp, the employee claims that there are only four purchase cards with spending limits that exceed one dollar available to the entire region.
Some of these parks are paid for services such as the Internet and wireless on purchase cards – where employees who wonder whether their work devices can be separated soon. “Before someone can repair the bathroom, the work order must be issued,” the current employee explains. This happens electronically. Like any business, we rely on email, teams and chatting to complete things. “
The boundaries of spending reflect the belief of musk with a budget that is not based on zero. After buying Twitter, he cut the budget to zero and forced the employees to justify all expenses. It also frozen corporate credit cards.
“With stopping the payments, at some point, we were at a meeting at one o’clock in the morning on Saturday, and the matter was,” hey, let’s create credit cards to find out what is worn, and what is happening, “The investor explained the angel Jasson Kalakanis in all in the podcast.
Employees see it as a different way. “There are many controlled controls to ensure that fraud does not happen,” the current NPS employee claims. “I think frankly that the only fraud that is happening is to commit musk, [Russell] Vogue, and [Donald] Trump. “
