DOGE Comes for All: Federal Employees Must Reply to Email Outlining Last Week's Work or Resign

The DOGE-ing of the federal government continues.

This afternoon, Elon Musk said all federal employees will be required to reply to an email detailing the work they've completed in the last week. Failure to reply will be considered a resignation.

Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week.

Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

The Democrats should love this because they're posting daily lists of their 'accomplishments.'

Hi, Elon. I’m the Federal Employee responsible for unlocking bathrooms at the Grenada War Memorial. I unlocked 3 bathrooms last week. Please don’t fire me.

LAUGHED. OUT. LOUD.

Yosemite staff could learn a thing or two.

I once received a similar email from HR and responded asking them to meet me in the parking lot if they wanted to find out what I do

I am still employed

Heh.

You're not playing, are you Elon?

Wow.

Nope. Not playing.

I will be blocking email access for all of the corrupt agents at HQ so they can’t respond.

Heh.

Great idea, I have to justify my job in the private sector constantly...I spent the last week out on site at a KLM test cell running the cf6-80e1 engine (A330) and the cfm56-7b engine (737ng) making software updates getting about 20-30 jira tickets into the "done" column.
