Federal Employees Face Second Round of Accomplishment Emails from Elon Musk
Federal employees are responding to a new wave of emails from Elon Musk, asking them to detail their recent accomplishments on a weekly basis. Following an initial request, a second email stresses the need for transparency and productivity, with some agencies reporting compliance directed by Peter Hegseth. While some employees view the demand as reasonable, others express concern over privacy and potential harassment. The Office of Personnel Management has adjusted its guidance, removing language that previously indicated responses were voluntary. Union leaders are voicing worries about the implications of these requests amid ongoing discussions about productivity and accountability within federal workplaces.
