@largo35839158 @CBulldogTrader @elonmusk How did this get discovered before Elon? Or is George Washington still getting paid? Lame excuse to hang 2 million people out to dry.

@Go4schrades @CBulldogTrader @elonmusk Remember friends:
It's not unheard of for people no longer working to be still (i) on the corporate mailing list, and (ii) receiving cheques.
Their managers may not be in a position to know this, because management and payroll are frequently different departments.

@MHippenste44812 @TimRunsHisMouth I'm on sick leave. Am I fired because I had knee surgery?
English
@TimRunsHisMouth Couldn’t they simply reply to the email? Or is that too much to ask?
English
@manwithblackhat @TimRunsHisMouth You will probably lose your retirement benefits because you can't follow directions. Thanks for playing!
English
@TimRunsHisMouth I wrote to Elon Musk and told him I was retired from the government, and I would tell him ten things I did, not just five. Haven’t heard back yet.
English
@CD8293 @TimRunsHisMouth Or on leave, or sick leave, or on their days off. This wasn't thought out very well, to say the least.
English
@TimRunsHisMouth My thoughts and prayers go out to my bladder, may I be able to hold it in when the laughter starts at the ones who get fired because they didn't check their email.

@VictorLegg @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump He was appointed by the president of the United States. Respond to the email or lose your job. It’s simple.
English
@MikeFernandezX @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump You know some govt employees don't work M-F, right? Some have extended days off for working longer hours. So fire them because they were on their days off?
English
@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump If you can’t respond to an email during working hours, then you have no business being a government employee.

@wannabeerbad @jaskland3 @Mollyploofkins @elonmusk 3 yrs and I can retire. I will listen to my chain of command.
English
@jaskland3 @Mollyploofkins @elonmusk 1 hour and 54 minutes left. Get tinting. Clackity clack jackass!
English
@MargueriteRauc1 @Mollyploofkins @elonmusk So this was done incorrectly? Maybe that's why people didn't reply.
English
@Mollyploofkins @elonmusk Wrong, not all HHS and Treasury were told to reply. Security folks can't do it. Should have gone through chain of command. I did it weekly for years, through the chain.
English
@CBulldogTrader @elonmusk We do. That's the entire point. Chances are, Elon doesn't check cameras or gets memos from the janitors at X each day on what they did. Most federal employees have a rigorous background investigation and months of training. This is a simple shake down.
English
@elonmusk If government employees aren't already providing this information to their managers, how are their managers currently measuring their performance?
English
@elonmusk It’s very simple people.
Your management ask you to do something , you do it
There is no room for speculation
There isn’t time to waste.
Can you handle that 😎
English
The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send!
Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers.
Have you ever witnessed such INCOMPETENCE and CONTEMPT for how YOUR TAXES are being spent?
Makes old Twitter look good. Didn’t think that was possible.

I already had a low opinion of many federal workers but now that I’ve seen them all meltdown and cry because they’re expected to provide the faintest evidence that they’re actually accomplishing anything with the taxpayer funded job we’ve given them, I realize that my opinion of them was still somehow too high
English
@CallVoter @elonmusk So ya wanna eat food with no FDA, meat inspections, wait in long lines at the airport, spend hours clearing customs, cancel trips to national parks? Want criminals deported? Think before you blanket 2 million people.
English
@elonmusk Mass layoffs. That’s the only way. Nothing else is gonna fix this mess. You feel bad for some good people who get caught in this operation but I’d say 99% of them deserve being fired.
English
@elonmusk I saw a few on news channels who clearly don't want or need a job. I asked my 3 year Granddaughter what she did last week she listed 12 things!
English
@elonmusk Ya didn't plan for people being off for 3 or 4 days and not being able to reply, did ya? So they are automatically terminated for being on vacation, sick leave or days off? Glad we were good enough to work with the public through covid, but fired for 5 bullet points.
English
The public votes overwhelmingly in favor.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Should all federal employees be required to send a short email with some basic bullet points about what they accomplished last week?
English
@FloridaFS2018 @elonmusk @Kash_Patel @AGPamBondi @PeteHegseth @JohnRatcliffe @KristiNoem @DOGE We're not. We do it quarterly. Just like everyone else. Now go write a random essay.
English
Every single company small, medium and large review their employees even remote employees every quarter or every semester and annually to see results and goals.
Why Federal Employees are the exception?

Those who do not take this email seriously will soon be furthering their career elsewhere

REP. TIM BURCHETT: ELON'S 'WHAT DID YOU DO LAST WEEK?' EMAIL IS A GREAT IDEA “I think [challenging federal employees on their accomplishments] is a great idea. You do it in private business all the time. You have to have accountability. You have to show your work, you have to show what you've done. Now, we're saying the federal government should do the same. Some folks are upset about it. Obviously they're upset, because they can't show what they've done because they probably haven't done much. I've been contacted by people who are very upset that they have to go back to work because they've moved. They don't even live in the area anymore, but they thought they could work from home. The post-Covid days are over. We need to get people back to work. We need to show what they're doing, and we need to show the efficiencies of government, which has not been done in quite some time.” Source: NewsNation, February 23, 2025, @RepTimBurchett

That’s all it would take for real 😂

@martyrmade I've worked for my agency 16 yrs. I have quarterly meeting Ms with my supervisor. Not once did I have to justify my job. Why now? Nothing has changed except an appointment wants to harass me and my co- workers.
English
I worked as DOD engineer for 10 years. Finished as a GS-13 (out of 15). We had to send an email describing our work product of the previous week, and plans for the coming week, every week, for all of the 10 years I was there. People need to stop crying.
Chuck Ross@ChuckRossDC
Every single one of you would be salty as hell if a middle manager just 1 month on the job emailed you on a Saturday asking you to detail what you did last week or else be fired
English
@RichardAye55192 @Austen So do a government mandated job, but don't get paid for it? How much time and week do you work for free?
English
@Austen There you go, he should have made it due before they are required to start work, and therefore would cost nothing, and accomplish the same result. Most federal employees just make work for other federal employees, or for you or your business.
English
This logic is fine so long as you treat every 10 minutes during your day with the same level of care and urgency

This is how they think
English
@UncleMeat_71 @Nats4Prez @lookner @DOGE @elonmusk That's what our supervisors are for. Not an AI function. People complain about federal workers wasting taxpayers money. Isn't this doing just that?
English
@Go4schrades @Nats4Prez @lookner @DOGE @elonmusk I have been providing a daily status report for years as an IT engineer. Providing at least a weekly status report is the norm in the private sector. If you can’t spend 5 minutes on Monday stating what you did the week before and still get your job done you should be fired.
