Workers of the US Government faced a widespread confusion on Monday after conflicting advice on respecting Elon Mosk order to list their last week of working in an email or face break.
Just 48 hours after the e -A -asked “What did you do last week?” It was sent, the office behind him clarified the responses voluntary, and the agencies left to decide their approach.
However, as this new guideline is divided with federal agencies, President Donald Trump has worn out that workers who are not in accordance with Mr. Male will be discharged or a “semi-finished” type. “
And later on Monday night, Mr. Musk intensified the ultimatum, giving workers the final opportunity to answer.
The post office from the Staff Management Office (OPM) on Saturday sent recipients to answer with five examples of what they did in the last seven days, without discovering any classified data. Recipients were asked to answer by the end of Monday.
Mr. Musk, who runs the Department of the Efficiency of the Government (Doge), said that failure to respond will be understood as a resignation.
The comments encouraged a return reaction, and federal workers’ unions and activist groups filed a lawsuit in California to stop the mandate E -Star.
Key agencies, including defense, health and human services (HHS) departments (HHS), justice and FBI – now led by Trump’s employees named – inserted to neglect the directive. This led to widespread uncertainty, and some workers received conflicting messages over the weekend.
The result was widespread confusion, because federal workers faced uncertainty about their employment. Many also expressed confusion because of the competitive guidelines that gave them their agencies.
“We were managed to crazy,” said a employee who works under the HHS BBC, he asked not to be appointed for fear of retaliation.
On Monday afternoon, OPM made a call with human resources heads in federal agencies and said that at every entity it was to determine that they wanted to resolve the directive received by the employees on Saturday, according to the CBS News, an American partner of the BBC.
In the same afternoon, President Trump told reporters at the White House that Mr Musk’s request was a “ingenious” move.
“There were a lot of genius in sending,” he said. “We try to find out if people work and so we send a letter to people, tell us what you did last week. If people don’t respond, it is very possible that there is no such person or” not working. “
“And then if you don’t answer as if you were a half -time or discharged because many people don’t answer because they don’t exist at all,” Trump said.
Mr. Musk claimed that he was acting on the instructions of President Donald Trump.
“Provided that the president will be, he will get another opportunity,” he wrote to X, obviously referred to workers who did not respond to his request by the end of Monday. “The failure to respond to the second path will result in breaking.”
“The request for the e -Kost was extremely trivial, because the standard for passing the test was to enroll in some words and press the sending!” he said in another post. “Still, so many have not even succeeded in the inappropriate test, which in some cases have been persuaded by their managers. Have you ever witnessed such incompetence and despise how your taxes are spent?”
