Federal workers could get a second email Saturday. It might require a response.
Federal workers are slated to receive a second email Saturday asking them for a bullet-point description of what they did in the past week β only this time, a new strategy from the Trump administration means they might have to respond, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks.
Last weekend, the federal Office of Personnel Management sent a message to government employees from [email protected], asking for a list of what workers had accomplished the week before. The new message is expected to arrive from addresses associated with chiefs of agency HR departments across the federal government, the people said. The switch could give the request more teeth, because agencies typically have more direct authority over their staff than OPM, which enacts HR policy across the bureaucracy but doesnβt actually employ most workers.
