- DOGE employee Joe Gebbia, co -founder Airbnb and a recent transfer to the Republican thing, wants to re -present how federal workers retireA process that is currently carried out exclusively on paper. In the ideal world, Gebbia said, asking for retirement as a Fed would be a smooth experience “similar to apple shops” that would only last a few days. Reworking comes within a few months, he said Fox News.
Joe Gebbia, one of the founders of the short -term lease of Airbnb and a member of a team of reducing the cost of federal workers known as DOGE, has a positive technocratic vision of reworking how government workers retire.
Gebbia wants to change the retirement process from its current paper system to an “online digital process that will take several days at most”.
“We really believe the government can be an experience similar to an apple,” Gebbia said in interview with Fox News“Bret Baier on Thursday.
Gebbia appeared with a friend and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, along with six other members of the so -called DOGE (DOGE) department, in a predominantly friendly extensive interview that describes the efforts to reduce the cost of the team. (Amy Gleason, who Government is saying is Acting administrator from DOGE, did not appear and was not mentioned by the DOGE team.)
Gebbia said he was involved in efforts when “hit Anthony [Armstrong, a Morgan Stanley banker and fellow DOGE staffer] And Elon probably back in February, and they told me something about the downstairs that was dealing with retirement. I love the challenge, so I jumped on board, ”said Gebbia.
The retirement process includes the transition to personnel sets deposited deep in the limestone mine in Western Pennsylvania, Gebbia said. The cave contains more than 28,000 cabinets for back and more than 200 workers who are included in their neighborhoods – not for secrecy but for space, New York Times he wrote Last month.
The system is entirely based on paper and currently takes as long as it processes the paperwork of one worker, as was the case in the 70th century: about two months, according to Times.
“There is no doubt that the mine is a paragon inefficiency,” Times wrote.
This means that, according to Gebbia, the federal government can only process about 8,000 retirement per month, which has become a barrel for DOGE, offering early retirement to hundreds of thousands of workers.
“We will probably make a general repair in the next few months,” Gebbia said.
“It's an interesting problem,” he said later in an interview. “We can use the design to solve it and good engineering and create a better experience for all.”
Gebbia revealed his involvement in DOGE a month ago in the post XThe Social Media platform owned by Elon Musk, where he invited others to join him “to help to design beautiful, user -friendly digital products”. Gebbia reproduced the announcement of the Office for the administration of staff that she had first prepared a federal worker's retirement.
Long -term democratic donor, Gebbia has said In the elections by 2024 he voted on the Republican and expressed the support of the current Minister of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Revelation of Jr. Gebbia triggered a flood of negative comments on Airbnb forums, after which the platform distanced itself from its founder and said in declaration that “Joe joins DOGE in his personal position.” While Gebbia remains a member of the Board of Directors of Airbnb, “since July 2022 he did not have an operational role in the company and his personal opinions have not reflect opinions on Airbnb or Airbnb.org,” she said.
