Agreed.

Working in government is even better

WFH 3,049 consecutive days and there's not a damn thing you, Trump or Elon can do about it

Is this a one-time request, similar to annual goals, or something that will be required weekly, in addition to your performance reports?
As of now, a one-time request.

Our CPD process is months long. I'd kill for 5 bullet pts a year, only.

I already do this at the end of the week. Not only are they asking us to submit 5 accomplishments but also how we accomplished them at a granular level. Step by step.

This sounds like terrible micromanagement

Fair enough. On the surface, and without knowing the specifics of your responsibilities, anything additional would seem excessive.

I think there’s a hyper-vigilant environment right now, for obvious reasons, of trimming fat and defending productivity. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing, to a point.

Companies have been doing this for years. I don't understand why people are acting like this is something new.

We already do this, but management is copying what Elon did. That's all I'm saying. Companies are always looking to trim fat. With A.I., it makes it easier to identify if things are being done inefficiently.

I have staff meeting every Friday and get a written list of last week's work and a plan for the next. I don't give them a number, but if they showed-up with only 5, I'd be pissed.

Yep.

Every time I place an order. Every time I reset a PLC. Every time I test and log chemical levels. Every time I replace a motor. Every time I rebuild a centrifugal pump. Every time I perform an X-ray weld. Every time I adjust burner parameters. I have to document it, document my reasoning, log my time and justify it ALL.

Welcome to the real world.

I had to do this every week, working for an aerospace company. You quickly learn to make the list easy to justify, such as:
1. Started planning for project xxx.xxx.
2. Began final report for project yyy.yyy.

You get the idea.

And? I can name off 5 things I've done just today and it's been a slow day.

Several times a day is excessive

I have my direct reports loop me in on what they are doing briefly every Monday (goals for that week) and Friday (what they ended up doing), likewise I report to my boss routinely

No clue why people are having such a hard time coming up with 5 bullet points that are more likely than not, not even being read

Its literally a pulse check
