Musk confusion requires federal workers to justify their work

Government workers in the United States have encountered widespread confusion on Monday after conflicting advice on observing the order supported by Elon Musk to list their work from the last week in an email or termination of the person.

Just 48 hours after email asking “What did you do last week?” He was sent, the office behind him clarified the answers was voluntary, leaving agencies to decide their approach.

But since this new leadership was shared with the federal agencies, President Donald Trump has weighted that workers who did not comply with Mr Musk’s request would be fired or “semi-sensed”.

And later, on Monday night, Musk strengthened the ultimatum, giving workers the last chance to answer.

On Saturday, the mail from the staff management service (OPM) instructs recipients to respond with five examples of what they have done in the last seven days without disclosing classified information. The recipients were asked to respond by the end of Monday.

Musk, who leads the Ministry of Government Efficiency (Dogi), said the failure to respond would be accepted as a resignation.

Comments nourish the reverse reaction, with federal workers’ unions and activist groups filed a lawsuit in California to stop the mandate by email.

Key agencies, including the departments of defense, health and human services (HHS), justice and the FBI – now led by Trump’s appointed employees to ignore the directive. This has led to widespread uncertainty, with some workers receiving conflicting messages over the weekend.

The result was widespread as federal workers encountered uncertainty about their work. Many also expressed confusion about the competitive guidelines that were given to them by their relevant agencies.

“They manage to go crazy,” an employee who works under HHS told us, told the BBC and asked not to be baptized with fear of revenge.

On Monday afternoon, OPM was called with human resources managers at federal agencies and said it was to determine how they wanted to deal with the directive employees received on Saturdays according to CBS News, the US partner of the BBC.

On the same afternoon, President Trump told reporters in the White House that the request of G -n Musk was a “brilliant” move.

“There was a lot of genius when sending him,” he said. “We try to find out if people are working and so we send a letter to people, please tell us what you did last week. If people do not answer, it is very possible that there is no such person or they” do not work. “

“And then, if you are not answering, as if you are somehow half -polished or fired because many people do not answer because they do not even exist,” Trump said.

Musk claims to act on the instructions of President Donald Trump.

“Provided the president’s assessment, they will be given another chance,” he wrote, apparently referring to workers who did not respond to his request by the end of Monday. “If not answered a second time, it will lead to termination.”

“The email request was completely trivial, as the test standard was to write some words and press send!” he said in another post. “Still, so many have failed even on this uneven test, called in some cases by their managers.
