Word on the street is that Musk/DOGE has today sent an email to all Federal employees requiring them to report what they got done last week, with up to five bullet points, copy to their supervisor. Supposedly anyone who does not respond by end-of-business Monday will have resigned.
Hard to know how this will affect someone on sick or annual leave, or on travel status. Wondering how an air traffic controller would answer, perhaps with five flights landed safely? I’m imagining some mid-level bureaucrat listing five meetings attended where he/she represented his/her unit on another interagency task force.
I know a woman who works for a county government who spends her day watching 30+ CCTV monitors in a courthouse/jail complex. Could she identify five key things she did, if it was a quiet week? Absent a jail break, riot, or VIP visit, likely not.
This is a creative writing assignment. I wonder how many will ask AI to concoct their responses? This will be an uneasy weekend for career Feds.
