WASHINGTON: After a failed attempt last week due to confusion directs, the Trump administration sent a second round of emails on Friday evening, instructing all federal employees to summarize their work from last week.
Reuters has confirmed that emails from the US Office of Personal Management were sent to several agencies by the government’s Human Resource Arm, and workers were asked to make a list of five things a week.
The move has pushed the billionaire Elon Musk and his department’s performance team to a renewed way to assess the performance of government employees as the administration demonstrates a massive leave to dramatically trim the federal impressions.
“The president has made it clear that this is a must for the executive branch,” Musk wrote on the X.
Mask made a similar attempt last week, as well as the danger that non -constructive workers could be fired, but when some agencies like the state and justice departments asked their employees to stay on the chain of command, they were abused.
Finally, OPM informed the agencies that it was a voluntary voluntary to respond to emails.
But Musk, with the backing of President Donald Trump, continued to pressure him as a source for emails, adding that he blamed the workers. Both men suggested that there were no federal employees on the payroll.
Critics, including democratic lawmakers and labor unions, say widespread deductions can hinder public works and services.
In the second round of emails, there is no threat to retaliation for non -compliance, but says workers are expected to send answers at the beginning of every week.
According to a Reuters’ directive, Defense Minister Pete Hegsit has instructed the Pentagon workers to comply with it.
According to a Reuters review memo, the Department of Homeland Security asked its employees to respond to the internal DHS email address, which labeled “accountability” because of its national security responsibilities.
The Justice Department was also directed. According to a Reuters message, Ed Martin, acting US lawyer for District Colombia, asked workers to comply with his office.
Musk posted on Saturday, “All federal government departments are cooperating with @Dog.” “For the state, DOD and some others, supervisors are collecting weekly achievements by individual partners.”
Reuters succeeded in confirming that emails were also sent to the National Institutes of Health employees for the service of internal revenue, national maritime and environmental administration and health. These agencies have been targeted by the Dodge.
The Musk team last week instructed the government agencies to present plans to “significantly reduce” staff in the federal manpower by March 13.
Holidays are ongoing
Already, about 100,000 workers have been shopping or dismissed after sending the Dodge to Trump for federal staff and spending. There are about 2. 2.3 million federal employees.
Holidays have occurred in such a fashion that some agencies such as Food and Drug Administration have been forced to remember key personnel to ensure public safety.
On Friday, the Social Security Administration, which sends a beneficial check to tens of millions of Americans, said it would cut down 7,000 people from its workforce and make several regional offices shutter.
Recently, the Trump administration has pulled a plug on a team of tech boyfriends government employees who have helped to improve the free tax filing of the internal revenue service and to improve websites across the government.
The US General Services Administration (GSA) was seen in an email sent overnight and by Reuters, GSA Director Technology Transformation Services Director Thomas Shade said that the team was known as “non-criticism”.
Formed at the end of the Barack Obama administration, the unit served as an internal tech consultancy within the government, in which duplication and waste, smoked the bureaucratic process, and made public facing websites more user -friendly.
Questions about Musk’s role and dodge are at the center of numerous legalization that is trying to prevent them from accessing government systems and secret data. The suit alleges that musky and Douge are violating the constitution by running a vast force that is only obtained by the US Congress agencies or appointments made by the US Senate confirmation.
Musk’s actions have also caused some tensions and confusion in Trump’s White House assistants, though Trump himself is fully riding with the effort.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO are not a cabinet level personnel and they have not faced the US Senate confirmation. The Trump administration has been ridiculous about what he plays within the Dodge.
