Despite the widespread reactions, the Efficiency Department of the Elon Musk (Doge) government has doubled in the question of federal workers for their weekly achievements.
New York Times It reports that new e -mail from the Personnel Management Office (OPM) landed in the workshop boxes on Friday, asking them to provide bullet -point updates regarding their work on a weekly basis. The messages, which came up with the topic “Did you do last week? Part II”, said the reports are due to every Monday evening from 11:59 pm.
The fresh email was not a copy of the carbon and the first, sent approximately a week ago. This time, a change tells employees who work exclusively on classified or sensitive activities to write “all my activities are sensitive” as their answer.
Musk initially argued that emails are a simple task that everyone should be able to complete within minutes. He later turned to say that messages will help remove deceit and dead or non-existent people who can receive a government pay. President Trump has also chosen the latter by speaking. So far, even Musk and Trump have provided evidence of this.

White House secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters earlier this week that “more than 1 million workers” responded to the original DOGE email, despite the federal workforce consisting of 2.4 million people, according to the White House data. It is unclear if the administration confirmed that the responses came from current employees, given that people online claimed to have emailed to the OPM email with FALS “What I did last week” to ignite the system.
On X, Musk said people who do not respond to electronic posts will be fired, though even the OPM email does not include that threat. (Trump seems to be not sure; “and it is possible that many of those people will be fired,” he said last week.)
Many of the largest federal agencies, including the FBI, the State Department and the Pentagon, instructed employees to ignore the DOGE request, citing security. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told employees to respond, starting next week, reports Defensecoop. “Failure can lead to further review,” he wrote.

On Thursday night, a federal judge ruled that OPM “has no authority whatever, according to any statute – in the history of the universe – to hire and fire employees within another agency.”
Meanwhile, Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) Said that emails were sent to the legislative branch employees, despite being “not subject to staff actions by the Executive Branch”. This, he said, is evidence of the “uninformed, poorly executed and chaotic of Doge” way.
