Below is an announcement about the weekly "What Did You Do Last Week?" email, initiated by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) which was controversial due to its perceived micromanagement and potential implications for federal employees' job security, and is no longer a required directive from OPM. While initially intended as a voluntary request for employees to provide a bulleted list of their weekly accomplishments, the implementation and subsequent guidance from OPM and other entities caused confusion and controversy. The initial push for responses was met with resistance from some agencies and a backlash from employees and the media. Eventually, OPM clarified that responses were voluntary, but agencies were still allowed to evaluate non-responses. The Department of Defense, for example, initially required responses but later reversed course.  

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

·         Initial Controversy:

The email, originating from OPM, sparked controversy due to its potential for micromanagement, the perception of job security implications for non-responders, and the general lack of clarity regarding its purpose and scope. 

·         Conflicting Guidance:

OPM's initial guidance was followed by conflicting instructions from various agencies and leaders, leading to confusion among federal employees. 

·         Shift in OPM's Guidance:

OPM eventually clarified that responses to the email were voluntary and that non-responses would not automatically be considered grounds for termination. 

·         Ongoing Debate:

Despite OPM's clarification, some agencies and leaders continued to encourage or require responses, leading to ongoing debate about the appropriateness and effectiveness of the email program. 

·         Final Outcome:

The weekly "What Did You Do Last Week?" email is no longer a mandatory directive from OPM, and the program has been largely discontinued. 

In conclusion, while the "What Did You Do Last Week?" email was initially a source of contention and confusion within the federal government, it is now no longer a required directive from OPM.
