NY Post:
Musk's demand that fed employees list their accomplishments roils
workforce: 'Mass civil disobedience'
"Department of Government Efficiency chair Elon Musk announced that
federal employees must report their accomplishments from the last week
or face losing their jobs, which has roiled the federal workforce as
some Democratic lawmakers and unions call on employees to flout the
directive...
Musk said on Saturday that federal employees would receive an email
directing them to list their accomplishments from the week prior, with
the DOGE leader adding later that day that the assignment should take
less than five minutes to accomplish. Employees have until 11:59 pm on
Monday to send the list or lose their employment, according to emails
regarding Musk's directive that were sent by the Office of Personnel
Management...
"Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal
employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what
they got done last week," Musk wrote on X. "Failure to respond will be
taken as a resignation."
"To be clear, the bar is very low here. An email with some bullet points
that make any sense at all is acceptable! Should take less than 5 mins
to write," Musk added...
Musk's message followed President Donald Trump remarking that he's been
pleased with Musk and DOGE's work investigating various federal agencies
for government overspending, fraud and mismanagement, but that he would
like to see Musk "get more aggressive."...
Musk responded on X: "Will do, Mr. President!"..."
