Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on March 2 that he has directed the civilian workforce of the Department of Defense (DOD) civilian workforce to respond to an email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) asking them to provide a recap of their accomplishments over the past week.
Hegseth acknowledged that the DOD had initially instructed employees to pause any response to the first OPM email sent on Feb. 22, which asked them to list what they did in the past week in five bullet points.
