Federal workers began receiving email messages late Friday evening asking them to submit a list of achievements from the week, which is a request from the request of Elus Musk, which publishes fear and confusion during the government just a few days ago.
Email, entitled “What did you do last week? Part Two,” he chanted an email sent to federal workers at the end of last week, which ordered them to respond with a list of about five achievements of their work week. This explosion came shortly after Mr. Musk, billionaire President Trump said to reduce the federal labor force, Social media This failure to respond to the next message will take a “resignation”.
Email on Friday from the Personnel Management Office, the government’s human resources arm, went to workers in various agencies, including the FBI, Public Services Department, defense departments, justice, workers and agriculture, according to copies of emails in the New York Times.
Like the previous email, they ordered them to send approximately five bullets describing what they achieved this week. But he also said that, it is expected that the important employees will complete the weekly by 11:59 pm Each time.

In addition to confusion at the end of the week, some employees were said to expect the next email to come at a later time. Friday afternoon, civilian employees at the Ministry of Defense were informed that the email would arrive on Monday, and that it was expected in response. By Friday night, workers in the department have already received an email from the Personnel Management Office. The agencies were expected to send the guidance to their employees directly this time.
Earlier this week, Mr. Musk explained the reason for federal employees to meet his request to detail their work.
“What we are trying to reach,” Mr. Musk said during the cabinet meeting on Wednesday. “Therefore, we are literally trying to know these real people, are they alive, and can they write an email, I think it is reasonable.”
