Trump Admin Demands Federal Employees' Top Achievements

Federal employees across the U.S. government have begun receiving a new email, demanding a detailed list of their accomplishments over the past year. The email, sent by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to increase accountability and efficiency within the federal workforce.

The email, obtained by Bloomberg News, instructs employees to provide a list of their top three accomplishments, along with a brief description of each. The list is to be submitted to their supervisors by the end of the month. The OMB has stated that the goal of the initiative is to "encourage a culture of performance and accountability" within the federal government.

This move comes as part of a larger trend of the Trump administration seeking to streamline the federal bureaucracy. In recent months, the administration has proposed significant cuts to federal agencies and has sought to reduce the size of the federal workforce. The administration has also implemented a hiring freeze, which was later lifted, and has proposed changes to the federal civil service system.

The new email requirement has been met with mixed reactions from federal employees. Some have welcomed the initiative, seeing it as a way to highlight their contributions to their agencies and the broader federal government. Others, however, have expressed concern that the requirement is overly burdensome and may lead to a culture of self-promotion within the federal workforce.

In response to these concerns, the OMB has stated that the initiative is not intended to be punitive, but rather to encourage a culture of performance and accountability. The agency has also stated that the initiative is part of a broader effort to improve the federal government's ability to measure and track employee performance.

The new email requirement is just one of many changes that the Trump administration has implemented in an effort to reshape the federal government. As the administration continues to pursue its agenda, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact the federal workforce and the broader federal government.
