Get going, get busy, as in Up and at 'em; there's a lot of work to be done . This colloquial idiom, often uttered as a command, uses at 'em (for "at them") in the general sense of tackling a project, and not in reference to specific persons. Sometimes used to order people out of bed in the morning.
