Summary
Elon Musk announced that all federal employees must report their weekly accomplishments via email or be considered resigned.
The directive requires workers to submit 5 bullet points summarizing their work by Monday night.
It remains unclear how responses will be evaluated or enforced.
Critics question the feasibility of processing hundreds of thousands of reports across multiple agencies.
Just ignore him. He isn’t in charge of DOGE, right GOP?
Edit: what the fuck power does DOGE have anyway? The president doesn’t have the right to unilaterally create a random department without a congressional vote.

Just say you saved $55 billion dollars.
Nobody on their team is capable of doing the math to check.
Is Trump and Musk the necessary evil this nation needs? Are they pissing everyone off on purpose?
This is how someone who has no idea how to manage output or productivity thinks you should manage output and productivity.
My manager, a CFO in a startup was like this. He implemented it, making us write down everything we did. And so I did. In details. Spent more time writing the report than working. Left the company 6 weeks after implementation. Then they needed 3 people to replace me HAHAHA fuck you Lena and Michael!
Ah he’s back on that “show me the lines of code you wrote” trip
“I have people skills!! What the hell is wrong with you people!?”
Guy who does nothing demands to know how workers spend their time.
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine, Elon.
I’m so torn about this as an activity. Telling my bosses what I’ve accomplished each week has been part of my regular work for 2 decades - so this doesn’t feel like an unreasonable request and I’m a bit surprised the info is not at the ready. But Musk is absolutely the wrong person to make the request and any decisions based on the information received.
I saw patients this past week. Like I do every week. That is my one bullet point. I still need 4 more bullet points??? This is ridiculous. I’m doing my job, that I have been asked to do. He doesn’t know what my job is. The AI they are going to feed my answer through doesn’t know what my job is. The people who do know what my job is know that I am doing it just fine. We already have an evaluation system that I have to sign every 6 months and submit bullet points with.
My supervisor, and their supervisors, are now going to have meetings about us responding. Then we are going to be told in meetings about how to respond. Then I spend some arbitrary amount of time responding. Do you have any idea how much combined time across the entire government is being waisted on this? This is literally millions of dollars in total time waisted just for the whims of a mad man. This is a prime example of wasting tax dollars.
Same thing he did with twitter employees. Micromanaging is one of the worst traits a manager can have.
