Senate Republicans on Monday criticized Elon Musk’s directive for federal government employees to lose their jobs if they did not send in a bullet-pointed summary of what they did last week at work, describing it as a rash decision that was not handled well.
The email asking what they accomplished over the past week had set a deadline of Monday at midnight for responses. However, that was walked back by the Office of Personnel Management when it told departments and agencies that they could ignore that email.
Nevertheless, some Senate GOP members took issue with Musk’s request as he continues his push to cut the ranks of federal workers.
“I don’t think it was handled very well in terms of the surprise element of it or what the point of it was,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.). “That, I think, was confusing because I think there were a couple different explanations.”
“I think a little clarification on the voluntary part is probably good,” she added, pointing to OPM telling agencies that responses were optional.

What babies.
The weak-kneed GOOBers. They are actually scared to death of DemonRATS.
As was said elsewhere, hall monitors of the right, ignore them.
Lets send her the same email.....
Send the e-mail to all Congress critters.
Surely West Virginia can send somebody better than Shelly Moore Capito.
The competent, and non-Trump hating, government workers will respond to the email appropriately, required or not. The remaining workers are the ones to start the ball rolling on removal.
Omg so many more bureaucrats need to GO. Soviet dissident writers likened bureaucracy to webs straight from hell. Such dehumanizing, soulless work!
Who’s on the take?
The email was genius. It laid bare the truth about who was seriously on board and ready to make America great.
Maybe Elon needs to send the same MEMO to Congress?
Man up, Ladies! Show us you’re doing actual WORK on OUR DIME!
lol
What if they were on vacation and didn’t get the memo?
They will come home to a big surprise :)
I dont check my work emails when i’m off.
But if they follow the news at all, even while on vacation, they would have seen it.
Screw em :)
Explaining what you did at your job to your boss is a normal part of work in the private sector. But God forbid taxpayers demand any explanation of what their employees in the federal government are doing.
Got one name from WV. All the rest are “Republicans” “Some said”. Not buying it. BTW, got a letter from Republican National Committee today asking for money. Trashed it immediately.
I was thinking the same thought!
You show up for work Monday morning, get with the program, write it up in 15 minutes, and get on with your day.
