The emails that get sent from that account are marked as EXTERNAL by all agencies. Just an FYI.
OPM never sends out mass emails for responses like this. Generally they are sent out via agency email (i.e. you know follow a chain of command like in the normal world).

I’m a DoD employee and it would be a piece of cake to name 5 things I did last week:
1. Work on classified stuff
2. Work on more classified stuff
3. Work on different classified stuff
4. Collaborate with classified project team
5. Verify classified project data
:)

Did this in the military all the time. It makes sense for leadership positions. It's absolutely idiotic for rank and file positions.

A distinction without a difference.
They did not come from Elon, and they do not go to Elon.
The “I don’t report to Elon” screeching is moronic.

Like i said before, this is relatively common in the Fedgov now.
It's not a new concept.
People are freaking out over the resignation tweet by Elon but in the email itself it doesn't mention it
Probably for obvious reasons.

Ain't even saying it's from Elon, just saying that it's not how the chain of command operates. Emails like that never come from OPM HR. They would come from X agency HR...after flowing through leadership (inside and outside agency)

He’s an advisor to the president. He, shockingly, gives advice.
If Stephen Miller tweets out something that will happen tomorrow, and then a department head then takes that action is Stephen Miller then the person who “did” it?
You can’t be this stupid? Maybe you can.

Not in my DOD office. The majority of retired military working in the DOD if red.

How many additional employees are needed to review these responses and how much do they make? How efficient is that? Or is AI determining their value?

Don’t see what the big deal about reporting 5 bullets weekly. I’ve had to do this at multiple large companies/corporations in oil and gas.

Federal employees are, in general, patriots who work their butts off. For Trump to sit back and let a foreign-born business magnate to treat them this way is a disgrace.

These emails are not going to be read. They're just going to correlate payroll to emails sent and then terminate the ones who did not respond.
I bet you could send a picture of dickbutt to the email and not get fired but if you don't send the email you're fricked.

He probably wants to see who will fail to respond. Those people will be out of a job. The answer doesn't matter. Who refuses to answer is the info they want.

“Corporations don't traumatize their workforce like this.”
Trauma? Lol the left has made people pussies
Trauma was making people get a dangerous experimental shot to keep their job - that’s real trauma
This is a much needed purge

I tend to agree that federal and state employees can often be overworked and underpaid relative to their private sector analogues.
I've worked in public sector software development and it is hell because I felt like I was doing 5 jobs and none of them consistently excellent because I have to make executive decisions on what my focus will be this week. In a big tech job, many of these functions would be somebody else's entire job. What private sector tech does well is unburdening their engineer/developer staff to do what they do best. Public sector tech, you end up doing a lot of support, design, and management tasks that are not directly programming.

Traumatize? Sending a single email? Are you aware of what Salesforce is and how many corporations track literally every single meeting their employees have? Good Lord.
Are you aware that Federal agencies have ways of tracking work product as well?
Sending this email on a Saturday and demanding a respond Monday isn’t about getting a response.
It’s about trying to catch people on leave or who have flex schedules and mondays off.
