In the US, head of the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk, has announced that federal workers must document their activities from the past week or face resignation. 

 

 

The directive, issued by the Tesla billionaire in a social media post on X yesterday, requires federal employees to submit a report with five bullet points outlining their accomplishments, excluding any classified information. 

 

 

The deadline for submission is midnight tomorrow.  

 

 

The government downsizing initiative has sparked shock and controversy across the country. 

 

 

The American Federation of Government Employees, a union representing federal workers, has vowed to challenge Mr Musk’s approach to justifying dismissals via email.
