If you were performing at a high level

Counterpoint: if you were getting paid to sit around in your PJs and answer a few emails every other day, why would you want to be compared and contrasted to people performing at a high level?

Counter counter point:
If this is all you were doing, you should have begun looking for a job 31 days ago.
Or
Be more inspired and want to achieve in your career, than drain taxpayer dollars.

Lastly, if this was all you were doing, we as taxpayers shouldn’t have been subsidizing your existence.

If you're performing at a high level, everyone already knows

Fully disagree, your boss above your boss barely knows your name. Much less what you've accomplished over the last week.

Especially in the era of DEI, there's zero transparency outside your team on performance at a high level.

You're a delivery driver taking items around a large govt installation. You made your deliveries. Are you working at a high level or are you merely getting your assigned tasks completed?

You are a researcher and you completed a literature review for your next grant. Is that getting your job done or working at a high level?

You evaluate disability claims and got your allotment of claims done two weeks ago so this week you did overflow for people that were struggling or missed work due to illness, so you got about 10% of what others got done. Are you working at a high level or falling behind? How would anyone know if they just review what you did this week?

If you think someone's work performance can be captured by this snapshot, you are living in a fantasy land.

Why would a grown man answer a email from a organization purposely formed to fire me ?

My supervisor knows everything I've done, ask them.

An outsider can never fully know or appreciate my duties, especially if the emails purpose is coming from an organization designed to fire hundreds of thousands of workers in a short period of time

There's definitely going to be multiple layers of validation. They just want the employees own words for better or worse for a starting point.

---

lol no there won’t be. That’s the whole point.

The email is so they can save money from paying unemployment and lawsuit by firing you for "performance".

Link? Will happily change my mind if the email response is the sole arbiter of truth outside of participation.

I’d start with the veiled threat that failure to reply by Monday means you resign.

"My supervisor knows everything I've done, ask them."

Why should your supervisor be asked what you do? You cannot answer that?

If you cannot take 5 minutes at the end of the week and write down a half a dozen bullet points of what you accomplished each week then you have not accomplished anything. You are the prototypical bad employee that NEEDS to be removed.

Because we ALL get the same appraisal scores.

Lazy career Gov lifer can simply say he/she did some amazing crap all week while the actual hard workers can say the same thing.

Which one of those people do you think is going to take the time to make sure their 5 bullets are more awesome for their job security?
