Tiffany Torres Williams -DOGE’s latest assault on the federal workforce is a demand that all employees summarize in five bullet points their accomplishments for the week in order to justify their positions.The email was delivered Saturday afternoon when most workers have the day off. The deadline was set for Monday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
In a post on X, Elon Musk make it clear that employees who don’t comply will be fired immediately, a threat that was noticeably absent from the emails they received.
I can hear the chorus of MAGA apologists now offering another melody of the same tone-deaf song they’ve been belting for weeks: “Federal employees should be willing to prove they are worthy of taxpayers’ money.” Correct. We should all be accountable to the people who pay us. Which is why federal workers have always had performance standards that are monitored by their supervisors. How many times have you had to write a bullet-point list to your boss itemizing how you spent your week? Probably never because your boss is invested in ensuring the team is moving in the same direction. In a healthy work dynamic, you don’t have to tell them how you spend your time — they are spending it alongside you.
Elon Musk is a ketamine-amped, chainsaw-weilding tech bro billionaire who bought access to the Oval Office for $288 million. Federal employees do not work for him. They don’t work for Donald Trump. They work for the American public. And forcing them reiterate what they do for work is an actual inefficient use of time.
