Feds must answer email on what they did last week — or lose jobs, Musk says

[cigaretteman]

Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation.

Musk wrote he was acting “consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions,” apparently referencing a social media post Trump shared earlier Saturday encouraging the billionaire to be harsher in his efforts to slash the federal workforce.

Trump posted on Saturday morning to Truth Social, his social media platform, commending Musk for doing “A GREAT JOB,” but adding, “I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE.”
Musk’s post to X came about seven hours later, and the emails began going out to federal employees close to 4:30 p.m. Eastern.

“Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager,” read the email, sent from the HR arm of the Office of Personnel Management with the heading, “What did you do last week?" according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post. “Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments.”

The deadline to reply, the email stated, is Monday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.

I wonder what percentage will simply lie. Perhaps require a sworn affidavit as part of the process. Also, analyze their keystrokes and internet activity.

It is one of those things when I was reading it that I wondered how many people thought it was a fantastic playbook instead of a cautionary tale. It apply to The Jungle too. Probably The Devil in the White City too.

Why?

 

[The Tradition]

Why?

DOGE is giving employees the opportunity to tell their story about why they're worth the salary and benefits they're pulling in.

Liberals screamed at the chainsaw approach.

So this seems more thoughtful, to me.

Waste of time. Either a job is necessary or it is not. Bosses are in place to ensure quality work.

Micromanaging is not efficient.

This is macromanaging.

AI will read all the emails and inform DOGE who needs to be cut.

I'm Uncle Sam and I'm here to take your guns. I also need to know if you've ever put out lawn signs supporting Republican candidates at your house. What is there to be afraid of?

It’s stupid.

Get rid of the waste and unnecessary jobs. Anyone could spin a 5-bullet point fairytale of what they “accomplished.”

Either a job is necessary or it’s not.

Give us 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week at your job.

No way. 😂

No wonder he comes across as such a douche. LMAO 🤣

These are taxpayer funded government employees utilizing goverment buildings and equipment.

Authoritarian Democrat Uncle Sam is a taxpayer-funded government employee, too. He works out of a government building and uses government equipment. Relax, there's nothing to be afraid of!

 

[fredjr82]

I used to have a boss that wanted our Top 3s every week. He got fired a long time ago

Are you all for this type of oversight for police? You know, taxpayer funded & all.

 

[HawkOptimist]

I remember my first job out of college doing something like this. Was an insurance company. One day they told us that at the end of every day we had to start inputting everything we did that day into a new time management program on our computers. Not only that, but we had to do it in 15 minute increments. Made a lot of people extremely nervous because, come on, it was a corporate setting… and as most of us who have ever worked in a corporate setting know, you only do 3-4 hours of actual work (if that) in an 8 hour work day. 🤣

Of course about 3 months later about 25 percent of the workforce there was fired.

In summary, federal worker heads are about to roll.

Early in my HR career, I had a boss who worked as the VP of HR with Eastern Airlines.

She said she was there until the bitter end. On the last day of the company's existence, she processed the last payroll, turned out the lights, locked the front door and walked away.

You can't lay everyone off without HR.

Sure. Cameras are good. They hold all parties accountable.

They should all respond about how they worked to track down a deadbeat, absentee dad.

So who is going to read all these... which are essentially WARs (weekly activity reports) and are SOP for micro managers.

Not to mention any yahoo can run something through ChatGPT to fulfill this Yuge waste of time.

I’m no expert, but I imagine it would be tough to work HR if a person posts on message boards with great frequency during the work day.
