White House DOGE Office Emails Federal Employees to List Accomplishments
The White House DOGE office is cracking down on federal employees, as they recently sent out an email asking workers to list their accomplishments from the previous week. The email, which was obtained by Business Insider, instructed employees to provide a summary of their work in approximately five bullet points and to cc their manager. However, some employees expressed confusion on how to respond, especially those who were under work stoppage orders.
This initiative comes after President Donald Trump urged Elon Musk to take aggressive action in reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy. In response, the White House DOGE office has been actively working to downsize the government, resulting in layoffs and buyouts for thousands of federal workers. The administration claims to have saved $55 billion in taxpayer dollars through canceled contracts, but it remains uncertain if they will reach their goal of slashing $1 trillion from the federal budget.
Despite these efforts, some top-level officials have pushed back against Musk’s directives, leading to resignations and retirements. The White House has not yet commented on the recent email sent to federal employees. This is a developing story, so stay tuned for updates.
