DOGE v. Federal Employees

🔴 UPDATE: February 28, 2025

DOGE Demands Federal Employees Justify Their Jobs—Again

Federal employees have once again been ordered to justify their work to DOGE, reigniting fear and confusion across the government workforce. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a new directive on February 28, demanding that employees submit bullet-point lists of their accomplishments, a thinly veiled continuation of the administration’s ongoing purge of federal workers.

🚨 Key Developments:

• Mass Justifications Required Again – Federal workers received emails instructing them to outline their weekly contributions in five bullet points and submit them to management.

• Chilling Effect on Workforce – While the email did not explicitly threaten job termination, both Musk and Trump have previously suggested that failing to justify one’s role could lead to dismissal.

• Backlash from Agencies and Unions – The FBI, State Department, and Pentagon have advised employees to ignore the directive, while federal unions are mobilizing new legal challenges.

• Legal Battles Escalate – Unions representing hundreds of thousands of federal workers have filed lawsuits against Musk and OPM, arguing that the mandate and ongoing mass terminations violate federal employment laws.

🔍 Consequences:

• Uncertainty and Chaos Continue – The repeated demands for job justifications are sowing confusion, demoralizing workers, and potentially crippling government efficiency.

• Further Firings Likely Incoming – Given DOGE’s track record, this latest move is expected to serve as a pretext for another round of mass layoffs.

• Congressional and Legal Scrutiny Mounts – With federal agencies and employee unions resisting, this could set up yet another legal showdown over the administration’s aggressive push to dismantle the federal workforce.

🚨 The Bottom Line:
This is not about efficiency—it’s about intimidation. By forcing federal employees to constantly justify their existence, DOGE is setting the stage for further purges, weakening government institutions, and driving out experienced civil servants.
