Pentagon Releases Guidance for Department of Defense Civilian Employees on Responding to the Office of Personnel Management's "What You Did Last Week" Email

View Online IMMEDIATE RELEASE Pentagon Releases Guidance for Department of Defense Civilian Employees on Responding to the Office of Personnel Management's "What You Did Last Week" Email March 3, 2025 Attributed to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Our Civilian patriots who dedicate themselves to defending this nation working for the Department of Defense are critical to our national security.  As we work to restore focus on DoD's core warfighting mission under President Trump's leadership, we recognize that we cannot accomplish that mission without the strong and important contributions of our civilian workforce. Last week, OPM sent an email to federal civilians asking them to provide approximately five bullets describing what they accomplished during their previous work week.  Department of Defense employees received direction to initially pause responding to this request OPM.   Following a review of Pentagon procedures and consultation with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), I am directing each member of the Department's civilian workforce to provide five bullets on what they accomplished in their specific jobs last week to their immediate supervisors.  All DoD civilians will receive an email outlying the next steps to be taken to comply with this initiative.  These reports will be consolidated internally within the Department to comply with the OPM directive. The memorandum can be found here.
