Federal workers are facing a midnight deadline to respond to Elon Musk's second email requesting a bulleted list of their weekly accomplishments. This initiative, part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aims to monitor productivity but has sparked confusion and resistance. Many employees are ignoring the request, with some agencies advising against responding or carefully wording replies to avoid revealing sensitive information. Fewer than half of federal workers (around 1 million out of 2.4 million) responded to the first email, and reactions from Boston.com readers show a mixed response, with 71% saying they did respond and 29% not. The long-term impact of this policy remains uncertain.
