With Trump's appointment of Musk, DOGE was formally established, and the efficiency department has to lay off many American institutions, which offended many people.

Now he says that DOGE will delete itself after finished its work, which is the last step. DOGE is a temporary department.

Elon Musk's government efficiency department hasn't even opened yet, but reform is running into resistance.

On December 11, 2024, the official website of the USPTO(United States Patent and Trademark Office) announced that USPTO and the POPA (Professional Patent Offices Association) signed a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for the first time in 38 years.

The main content of the agreement is that through CBA and related labor relations efforts, USPTO and POPA work together to give priority to excellent operation while maintaining the flexibility of employees, making the USPTO one of the top agencies working in the federal government. The CBA takes effect immediately and has a term of 5 years with renewal terms.

“We get to work from home. Sorry, Elon”
