Federal Workers Face Pressure to Respond to New Weekly Accomplishment Emails

The Trump administration plans a second email push, with agency heads potentially mandating compliance under Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency initiative.

Federal agencies are preparing to send a second round of emails on Saturday asking employees to summarize their weekly accomplishments in five bullet points.
The emails are part of an effort led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), chaired by Elon Musk, to assess federal worker productivity.
While the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) initially stated responses were voluntary, some agencies may now require compliance under directives from their respective leaders.
National security agencies, including the FBI, DHS, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, have advised employees not to respond, citing concerns over the directive's legitimacy.
The move has sparked confusion and criticism, with some viewing it as an overreach and others questioning its enforceability across federal departments.
