Federal Workers Hit with Second Wave of Emails Demanding Job Details
The Trump administration has sent a second wave of emails to federal employees demanding that they summarize their work over the past week, following the first effort which was met with confusion and resistance from agencies. The emails, sent by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, ask workers to list five things they accomplished during the week, as part of an effort to assess the performance of government employees amid mass layoffs. This move marks a renewed push by billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team to hold workers accountable.
