It’s harassment, and it’s embarrassing.
Replying to an email with 5 bullet points with that you did in an entire week of work is harassment? That should take 3 minutes tops to write and send
Please explain the harassment part to me

My second engineering job with one of the largest electric utilities in the country required everyone to write something similar each week. It was called a weekly letter.
Each successive lever of management compiled and edited all the way up to the CEO.
It was rare that an engineer’s weekly letter subject ever made it all the way, but a few times it di, which typically meant something really important happened in a power plant or in transmission and distribution systems.
It certainly made you think about what the hell you were doing and why. It focused you. The managers needed to make sure that no one spent more than 5-15 minutes on a weekly letter.
Having worked with DOJ and EPA employees on compliance and legal matters with our company, many I interacted with would have a hard time explaining what the hell they were doing.
I’m all for it. I’m shocked that someone actually asked government employees to do this.
MAGA
DOGE

This is indeed clown world, micromanaging stupidity. It's objectively cruel and disrespectful. You can dislike govt workers all you want, but you ought to recognize what this is going to do at the ballot box. It costs nothing to show people respect, but if you subject them to injustice, nothing will animate them more. 10M in the federal workforce and probably another 30M or so friends and family that will be moved by all of this.
What's going to happen is a million employees are going to lie. What is Elon going to do? Audit everyone's responses? You're going to see mass disobedience here pretty soon. He thinks this will run people off - and it might. It's also going to put millions of additional Democrat votes into the ballot box. Dude is a straight up dumbass.
Turning people into Office Space memes is how you get a Democrat super majority in 2026 and even worse in 2028.
Retire, not fire. If you asked for voluntary early retirements, you'd scale down the workforce super fast. Imagine how stupid you have to be to think people are going to tolerate this type of humiliation and harassment and not lash out in some way. A completely painless and anonymous way for them to lash out is to vote Democrat. If I had to bet, I'd say a million or so emails go out to that opm address in November of 2026 to let them know what they got done that week was voting for someone that promised to not humiliate them, harass them, or jeopardize their paycheck and retirement plan.
Schumer and Pelosi are loving this.

Sending our Supervision our weekly activity reports (WAR) was a requirement of teleworking. This is nothing new. Sending it to OPM is stupid.

Nice thread of wackjob government employees that are planning to RESIST!
Common theme: Elon is not my supervisor, so I’m not responding. (Even though the email came from HR, not Elon and has nothing to do with him)

What if all 2 million+ employees tell Musk to frick Off in their emails
Unrealistic, but I'd speculate this is a "art of the deal" type strategy. The stipulations are not very practical, but might be negotiated after some response. For one, it's revealed on a Saturday afternoon when most are off-duty. Now, all managers have to go in and notify everyone of the short turn-around, at which point there will be a negotiation for more time. This also happened in the fork in the road option where the deadline was initially short, but extended.
The thing that doesn't make sense is the "what did you do in the last week". So does being out in surgery or on a 2 week earned AL mean anything?Also, does a job that fluctuates week to week for those in the field mean anything? Some entire weeks are allocated to training, and some jobs are more of a month long planning process and not daily. So, hopefully, this is an initial reach-out to get a feeler for how each agency allocates their operations and not some do-or-die response to each employee.

Except he specifically stated this email will be coming out.......they are beginning to blur the lines between advisor and someone giving a directive

It would take me literally one minute to compose an email bullet pointing 5 productive things I do at work in a single work week.
If you’re actually doing your job, you wouldn’t take exception to being asked what you’ve gotten done. It’s not “cruel or disrespectful”. It’s being accountable.

Monday : Fought against oppression of white men by brown people and women.
Tuesday : Planted disinformation about the war of Russian aggression across dozens of Wikipedia articles
Wednesday: punched a random brown person outside the office and claimed I thought they were Palestinian.
Thursday : switched the signs on the bathrooms and called security on my boss when he went in the wrong one. He’s in gitmo now facing 25 to life.
Friday : Got promoted. Heil Elon!

These people vote democrat at a 90 percent clip.
You are a fricking moron.
There is nothing demoralizing about this. This is standard procedure for much of the private sector. Especially WFH employees.
