Rep. Tim Burchett: Elon's 'What Did You Do Last Week?' Email Is A Great Idea

Posted • February 24, 2025: At the request of Elon Musk's DOGE, the Office of Personnel Management sent emails to federal employees a couple of days ago giving them until midnight tonight to provide a list of five things they accomplished in the previous week. Having your employer ask about what you've been working on won't sound abnormal to most people who have worked in the private sector (and maybe even certain areas of the public sector), but it triggered many federal employees and their union. Elon Musk said that the purpose is to see if federal employees are even bothering to check their emails and also to root out government email addresses that aren't connected to an actual employee. Those who don't respond have been warned: —— Elon Musk @elonmusk: “Those who do not take this email seriously will soon be furthering their career elsewhere.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GkbPepWXEAAg264?format=png&name=900x900

Rep. Tim Burchett: Elon's 'What did you do last week?' email is a great idea: “I think [challenging federal employees on their accomplishments] is a great idea. You do it in private business all the time. You have to have accountability. You have to show your work, you have to show what you've done. Now, we're saying the federal government should do the same. Some folks are upset about it. Obviously they're upset, because they can't show what they've done because they probably haven't done much. I've been contacted by people who are very upset that they have to go back to work because they've moved. They don't even live in the area anymore, but they thought they could work from home. The post-Covid days are over. We need to get people back to work. We need to show what they're doing, and we need to show the efficiencies of government, which has not been done in quite some time.” (…)
