Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation.

Meanwhile, we have no idea what Elon Musk is actually doing because he isn’t being held to account in any way. If all Federal workers have to describe what they do with their time, that needs to include Trump and Musk.
He is full of shit. Federal employees work for the American people not Elon Musk. Who was an undocumented immigrant before fraudulently gaining citizenship.
this is effing ridiculous. The government, and fed employees are for the public good, not for profit. Someone help this guy find a window an the third story already...good grief
What if what they did last week was classified? They are not authorized to release classified information to any of the Doges. So you get fired for doing your job-sounds about right for this administration.
Dear Supervisor,
I processed reports, managed files, and organized meetings.
An error recorded entries: 'go', 'eat', 'a', 'bag' misaligned with tag 'of'. Mr. Dicks reviewed the logs.
- I signed a petition to revoke his citizenship
- I wrote to Elections Canada about his interference
- I signed a petition to ban Starlink
- I added a comment to ban X
And who the fuck made this guy king? In court filings he has no role in anything. Musk is an illegal alien. Nationalize SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter. Seize all of Musk's assets, and Thiel's, Bezos', Andreesen's, and Sacks..for starters. Send the south africans back and the rest can just be damned.
Elon himself is now a Fed. I'm looking forward to reading his weekly summary, which I'm sure we will get to review, since Elon is such a lover of transparency and self-accountability. 🤣

Really? My sister works for the VA. How many threatening emails do you need to understand he’s getting a big middle finger to all the intimidation tactics.
How many federal workers are there? Who will coordinate who replied & who didn't? Seems like the "agency" tasked with saving money will have to spend a shit ton of money hiring a bunch of people to get this job done. Doesn't sound like savings to me.
I suggest we all write to DOGGIE and let them know what we did last week. So on Sunday, I got up around 8? I had a some oatmeal with molasses, almond milk and chopped walnuts, and coffee , then I gave my cats their treats….
Gosh. I sure hope all four million federal workers don't take this opportunity to reply with both the full job description for their current position as well as a minute-by-minute detail of their job activities.
Forgive me - I’m not a US citizen, but I have a question. I believe that there are around 3m federal employees. If the majority of them reply to Mr Musk’s email, who is reading the replies? Who decides if a particular week’s work isn’t up to snuff? Could someone explain this to me?
So everyone who follows the directive that they can't work from home & therefore doesn't check their email om the weekend will get fired? And everyone who's not checking because they're on authorized PTO? Everything about this is completely unreasonsble.
Right, like that dipshit would ever understand in a billion years what a wildlife biologist or a social worker or a nuclear scientist or a cancer researcher do even *if* they tried to explain it to him. FEDERAL EMPLOYEES DO NOT WORK FOR MUSK. They do not have to describe butkus to him.
School vacation week in NH begins on Monday February 24, guaranteeing that a significant number of Federal workers have left home with theie families (skiing is great this winter). They will not have had access to their work emails since end of business yesterday and may not until March 2nd. Awful.
Asking employees to prepare written job descriptions under threat of firing. Now what’s he going to do with those job descriptions? If he gets any. Great manager there
So now all federal workers report to Elon Musk? He is their boss? Maybe they will install cameras and microphones in all fed departments to spy on staff. It's big brother coming for you! This is Trump and Elon's America.
He cannot fire Federal workers--no one voted him in. He is just an average citizen and not appointed by Congress. --right? They need to stand firm and SUE... He is not their supervisor.
Maybe Elon and others are lying to gov staff and they shouldn’t resign… i found this on https://irs.gov that irs employees are entitled to 12 months severance not 8 if they are forced out of there positions. DO NOT RESIGN!
The man who's not even on the government payroll can fire a government employee for not replying to an email.
WTF people! You have to be total Trumptard not to see the insanity of this!
You're all fired - just because I say so. Who me, well I'm nobody.
Imagine a government where every position is held by the worst boss you ever had…throwing tantrums, being petty, and making things miserable for everyone.
Some hints from the Big E: talking over the President, watching your son pick his nose and eat it, practicing Nazi salutes, and waving a chainsaw around like Leatherface in TCSM are actions reserved for management and cannot be accepted as useful work for peons.
Do you think it's acceptable to say "my job"? And an automated option to send automatically every week or even day? Because I think there's an app for that.
Musk needs to be detained under the Mental Health Act, he's losing his f'ing mind. Doge, Nazi salutes, up on stage, off his face & wielding a chainsaw, etc. If he were behaving like this in South Africa, the world would be up in arms. Why, therefore is this behaviour acceptable in USA?
When people seek not only to terminate you but humiliate you, even though you have done good work and are not part of the “deep state” evil, you owe them nothing. I would tell Chainsaw and Trump to go fuck themselves. People should stop cooperating with these nazi pieces of shit.
Trump wants a dictatorship run remotely by tech boy billionaires, inspired by the ideas of lunatic (and rather thick) 'philosopher' Curtis Yarvin. They of course would also run the banks and currency. https://youtu.be/hnTBzgjme20?si=tyHln6Qp87MNSHY4
I had a co worker who was asked to document everything he did for a full week as an experiment. He spent minimum 90 minutes total every day writing stuff down. Our boss said - that’s what she thought - it’s a waste of time. (One of her superiors wanted her to get all of us to do it.)
My old boss, many years ago, used to pull that on us whenever she wanted to make us feel small and insignificant—like we had to prove why she needed the very workers she sought out and hired. And this was for a job that barely paid above minimum wage.
Who’s going to read them? And by when? Musk himself, doubt that. Or is he just torturing dedicated workers who. He is planning on firing, no matter what they write.
I didn't think there would be a person I would hate to have to regularly see and hear speak more than trump, but this fucking dork in his "dark maga hat" is now at the top of the list. Real tired of Mr. Chin Pubes trying to take over the world.
reminder that federal employees are entitled to procedural due process and if they try to say you "resigned" by not answering an email, you can sue the shit out of them
If someone sent an email to Elon telling him to respond, and that a lack of response meant he approved of them punching him in the face, I bet he would argue that his lack of response wasn't approval when he got punched.
Elon is lucky that most people really love it when billionaires tell them how to spend their time and money under duress.😏
Also I can’t wait to read what great things Elon has done for the peopl—oh never mind he just fired a bunch of folks and took out a chainsaw which probably wasn’t “wasteful.” 🤷♂️
Now federal workers must recount every move last week or be deemed resigned? This is micromanagement on overdrive. Workers deserve trust, not constant surveillance.
Scary update - Musk tweeted that a lack of response was considered an indication of resignation. However, the official email doesn't indicate that, so if you're a government employee, please spread the word to your coworkers!

AGAINST RACISM
AGAINST FACISM
If America succeeds in massive institutional cuts (and we won't know until the dust settles), expect the process to be copied elsewhere
You need to put a stop to this terrorizing overreach now !!
Who is the administrator of DOGe?

Note that the reply emails are hr1@opm ... hr4@opm and so on.
Federal employees have bosses and supervisors. An unvetted criminal is not usually on that list.
It's probably asking too much but headlines person at wapo: do better.
Will you be next?
The people put this evil in power. Time to take responsibility and purge the poison.
We saw how this goes. History repeats when we don't learn the lesson.
Speak up & act out.

They asked for "five bullets" and five bullets is what they'll get.
Y’all pay me for that, it was rancid.
Elon Musk?

Swung around with a chainsaw
