Federal employees have received a second email from the Office of Personnel Management asking them what they did last week even as those demands are currently facing legal scrutiny.
Late Friday night, federal employees received a second email asking them to share five bullet points on their accomplishments last week.
It's the latest in an effort led by Trump advisor Elon Musk, who has said his goal is to monitor productivity, while searching for fake government employees for which he has presented no evidence.
Employees were also told that going forward, they were expected to submit similar lists by end of the day every Monday.

and such communications should NOT be coming from them.
Their job is to manage personnel files and payroll (whether for future, current, or retired employees) AND NOTHING MORE.
This is like having a company H.R. department send out a blast email that directs their company's manufacturing division on how they are supposed to operate. 
Supposedly that "DOGE" nonsense was nothing more than the renaming of OPM's IT office and that is their justification for using them as the launching point for this bizarre communications. And this idiotic "business/corporate" mentality has been proceeding as if OPM was "in charge" of federal agency functions and it is NOT.
It is beyond the scope and mission of the agency. 
OPM had an office called the "United States Digital Service" and that was used to be renamed as "DOGE". The employees of that original office recently resigned in protest.

This is why I protest the characterization.
