Headline and text from article: Headline: DOGE's 'AI-first' strategist is now the head of technology at the Department of Labor The ex-Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd has quietly become the CIO of the labor department as mass layoffs and federal workforce automation continue. by Brian Merchant Mar 19, 2025 Text: Thomas Shedd, the 28 year-old ex-Tesla engineer and DOGE official installed as the head of the federal government’s Technology Transformation Services, has quietly—and perhaps illegally—become the Chief Information Officer at the Department of Labor, too. Shedd is the official who made waves for announcing that DOGE would be implementing an “AI-first strategy” across the government as it orchestrated the firing of tens of thousands of federal workers. Now he’s in charge of the US labor department’s technology. “It’s probably illegal and it’s definitely terrible for both organizations,” a federal employee who works at one of them tells me. The move has alarming implications. For one thing, it appears to violate federal law dictating the number of positions an official can hold. More concerningly, it puts Shedd in a position to influence how the government administers federal labor law—laws enshrined to protect workers from wage theft, discrimination and wrongful termination—at a time when his agency is eliminating jobs en masse. And, not to mention sometimes doing so mistakenly and illegally, while rolling out dubious workplace AI and automation programs.

Why would a free-tax filing service for Americans offered through the IRS be considered “non-critical?” DOGE thinks so for political reasons. reut.rs/4h5dtRL #IRS, #FreeTaxFiling, #DOGEfirings, #TrumpAgenda, #non-critical, #Musk, #politically-motivated, #GSA, #ThomasShedd, #Reuters, #RaphealSatter

Text from article: More clown show breaking this afternoon out of TTS, the in-show tech consultancy housed within GSA. I told you last night that the new leadership had started firing people yesterday starting with a few dozen probationers — people in their first year on the job who are easier to fire under Civil Service law. But apparently the new bosses are still learning how to do things, most specifically, how to fire people. Yesterday the fired staffers found out about their terminations when they were summoned to hastily arranged meetings in which they were verbally told they were fired. But then people started to notice that the formal letters of termination they were told to expect weren’t showing up in their inboxes. And they couldn’t easily ask their supervisors what was up since their supervisors hadn’t been looped in on the fact that members of their teams had been fired in the first place. So what happened? It seems that the new bosses got down to firing people before they learned how you fire people. Finally Thomas Shedd, the Musk associate who was appointed as the new head of TTS, sent a message this afternoon to the whole team that it turns out … well, they’re not quite fired yet. “We don’t yet have the go-ahead from HR,” a presumably somewhat sad-sack Shedd Slacked colleagues a bit after 2 this afternoon.
