The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recently issued new guidance regarding how federal employees should respond to the 'What did you do last week' email. The guidance, released late Monday night, has caused confusion among employees as it did not specify responses as voluntary and hinted at potential penalties for non-compliance.
Following a statement by Elon Musk on X, indicating that federal employees would have another opportunity to reply to the email, with termination being a consequence for failure to respond a second time, OPM's new guidance took a different approach.
