Many federal employees received their second email demanding they list five tasks they completed at work last week, according to multiple emails reviewed by ABC News.
Agencies across the U.S. government have begun sending a second email to federal employees again demanding they list five tasks they completed at work last week, according to multiple emails reviewed by ABC News.
The email, with the subject line “What did you do last week? Part II,” instructs employees to reply with “five bullets describing what you accomplished last week” by 11:59 p.m. Monday.
The email also states that this will now be a recurring weekly requirement.
While Elon Musk has said that employees who fail to respond to this “second chance” email would be fired, the latest email again does not address if not replying would put employment at risk.
The second email told federal employees, “If all of your activities are classified or sensitive, please write ‘All of my activities are sensitive,'” which was not an option last week.
The emails appear to be largely sent from an email address for each agency’s HR department.
ABC News has obtained copies sent to employees at several agencies, including NOAA, GSA, HHS, IRS, SSA, DOD and OPM.

Earlier on Friday, a high-stakes meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dissolved when a shouting match broke out in the Oval Office over the Russia-Ukraine war.
The heated argument, which involved Vice President JD Vance, led to the cancellation of the presidents’ planned press conference and signing of a deal that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s wealth of mineral resources.
